Re: [diesel_mercedes] 190D - Engine revvs crazily

 

If this is a manual trans, with a clutch, how does the engine rev without you suddenly accelerating?

If the car isn't accelerating, something is slipping.  I would guess the clutch is on the way out.

As the clutch wears, you will see slipping in high gear first, mostly when you are accelerating, heading uphill, or into the wind.  Once the clutch slips, it will never stop slipping until you remove the power (static friction/ dynamic friction coefficients).

My 1986 190D (standard transmission) has taken, the last few days, to suddenly revving at very high RPMs when I am driving along at speeds between 40 and 60 mph.
It happens out of the blue - and the accelerator compresses toward the floor and the engine races. I turn off the engine and coast for a few seconds, and then turn the engine back on again, and its okay for a few minutes - and then a few minutes later it starts again.
Mechanic disconnected the power steering rod today to see if that will possibly solve the problem.
Any suggestions please?

[diesel_mercedes] Re: tie rod ends.

 

How did you fix the brake squeal? My pads are about 3 months old, plenty of wear left, and the left ones squeals, getting worse. SOme pads supposedly squeal. Is there a fix, short of replacing them?

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Trish's Engine Woes

 

I will print this off for my To Do list.  Kevin is taking Friday off work to start on the car. We put it on a trailer & drug it to his work on Monday. That in and of itself was a chore.  Anything else I need to know about while the car is in parts?

It is really important to change the turbo oil return pipe's seals & grommets whilst the engine is out because they're hard to access with the engine in situ .

Also replace the water pump , they're cheap .

FWIW , your Mercedes Dealer can get the new ignition lock cylinder with matching key for only a few dollars more than the other Parthaus' sell it with rabdom keys .

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Ignition switch locking up?

 

"habit of locking up" may be a bit strong. Graphite is the operative word. I also have trained myself to slow down when key turning and "feeling" things more than I used to.

Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Ignition switch locking up?

 
I recall reading on here a couple of times that the ignition switch or something of that nature has a habit of locking up?

Please explain. 

I don't want to get stuck somewhere at O'dark thirty not able to get home.  Since I work in catering, most of my shifts end around midnight and I'm usually at least an hour from home. 

I'm pushing the limit with Kevin my "mechanic" husband as he's pulling the motor/trans out to replace that for me.  I can't have anything else go out on me for a while...or I have to be able to fix it myself...like when I got towed home that day and didn't tell him until he called a few hours later to see how the car was running. :) I'm not totally incapable of taking care of myself.  Geez.

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Ignition switch locking up?

 


# 1 thing to do :

Go to Mercedes Dealer with your reggie in hand (they'll want to look at it) and order up two new keys ~ as the keys wear they cause the lock cylinder tumblers to wear and this causes the lock to jamb occasionally . the correct key , not a copy , usually stops this .

Also , NEVER hang a big bunch of keys off an ignition key ~ this wears out the locks in jig time .

You can go to your local Chrysler / Jeep dealer and order up a can of P/N 04318039AC spray lubricant , it's liquid Graphite and it *perfect* for every key lock you have , the house ones too .

[diesel_mercedes] Re: 190D - Engine revvs crazily

 

if it is not the cruise control as others have suggested, I would carefully look at the mechanicals on top of the engine and see if any need an extra squirt of lubrication, or are bent, or ?

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Ignition switch locking up?

 

Dunno if this has been mentioned here, but you cannot use a brass key in the ignition, it will leave particles in the lock and cause the jam. Our car came with one factory key and one soft one. The brass one started sticking, so we threw it away, washed the tumblers with heavy duty silicon lubricant, and still have our fingers crossed a year later. Someone mentioned a graphite lubricant that had good results.
