Built in Der Forest by Der Elves .

Taking out the driver's chair is easyand you can then repair the saggy springs via a Pool Noodle whlst it's out to facilitate the Evaporator Tray Drain Hose Replacement .

I need to do this too .

Pictures of Chip's dashboard apart would be really good on this job
so folks could get an idea of what's involved .

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Fusing Glow plug

 

OK - but what is the issue with the metal fuses? Mine have lasted forever, well ok, maybe only 10-20 years.

I want to use an automatic reset breaker on my glow plug setup instead of a
fuse..  Will a 50 amp unit work?  I think the OEM fuse is 50 amps but it is a
replaceable one.  I'll be using 8 gauge wire.  Lawrence Rhodes

to the right of the gas (diesel) pedal. behind the panel, right behind the a/c controls. the tube, held at the top by a plastic clip, goes toward the driver, bends down to the floor, and curves back into the transmission tunnel. Being foam with a spring and covered in plastic, it just bends to fit. I hope I put it in correctly. I zip tied the top, I could not get the plastic clip back on. the bottom of the new piece had a 4 inch rubber spout. I felt it was best to put the rubber part at the bottom where it curves into the transmission area. The hard part is removing the panel under the steering wheel, the panel that is behind that one, and the panel on the right. That is the order I think they need to be removed. I broke a plastic clip on one panel, but it still went back on firmly.

I am 6'3, so bending down to find each screw and connector, and figuring out how it was held together was the difficult part.

Also I did not completely remove the panel by the radio, I just disconnected the accelerator pedal and gently bent the panel around it, and then reached in to remove and replace the tube.Once panel one and two are out of the way, the console panel pulls down to disengage.

yes it exits the cabin over the transmission through a hole in the metal. the opening is protected by a collar.

Hey Chuck,

Thanks for posting that. What is the routiing of this hose? From where to where? Is this the hose that exits the cabin over top of the transmission?

Re: [diesel_mercedes] I Blame National Geographic of the 1950's

 

My dad always had a Leica 35mm.  We've got boxes and boxes of slides of family & his work. Some b&w, some in much later years are in color!

No reason you can't dream. You never know what you might come across.  I worked with a woman back in the mid 80's that drove a boat of a MB. I said "That's my next car". So it wasn't exactly my next car, but I do have one now! :)

It is about those wonderful, classy, black and white pictures of the mid-50's high buck Mercedes. There was the 220s, the 190SL, 300SL and those giant limos. Almost forgot that wonderful 220 cabriolet convertible.

Someone should have told me that I was never going to grow up and actually be able to own one of these cars, at least not until they were total pieces of junk. But I lived the better part of my life out with that hope seared in me by those damn National Geographics.

Don't get me started on the pictures of the Zenith Transoceanic radio's or all those great Leica 35mm.

I should have been more focused on the pictures of jungle life in Africa.
