1994 E320 Wagon
New here.. Need some help.

Hi, Just wanted to say hey and Just bought a 1994 E320 wagon.. I checked out a few things with the car and had a few questions. maybe you guys can shed some light on them or point me in the right direction... It has just over 100K on it and paid 2300 bucks for it.. and most everything works well. When the Car runs..1)I hear a low hiss towards the back... Hydrolic suspension? 2) Also When I adjusted the Telescoping wheel.. it came out and... lol ...stayed out. Wouldnt work both ways.. just adjusted all the way out and that was that... dosnt even try to retract. switch maybe? 3) Power locks... I realize these are vacuum powered..when i lock each door they lock individually.. however no vacuum pump noises, so in essence, each lock works like a manual lock. 4) Also.. What is the best place to order parts online?.. Thanks a lot for your help in adavance!

Tim

timsvt, I am new here too, but I found this really cool place to order parts.. I got my front and rear disks, along with my pads for very cheap. It can not hurt to look at them.. here is the link. www.autohausaz.com
Their prices are very low compared to the dealer and most of the parts are OE

welcome, i think the hiss you are hearing might be coming from the fuel pumps.
