300TD, wagon, 1987

RE: 300TD, wagon, 1987
To adjust the idle on your 87 300TD, there is a black plastic **** affixed to the firewall in the area near where the brake booster, fuse box, and strut tower are. You will see printed on the **** the letters "ELR" and has numbers such as on a clock dial, 1 thru 7.
What you do is pull out the ****, then you will be able to turn the **** to a desired number, mine is set on 5 and my engine idles around 700 rpm, however, my idle is smooth and consistent, not really sure why your idle isn't?
