[diesel_mercedes] Re: The dreaded cruise control.

 

Tom, if you have a known good amplifier at a reasonable price let me know asap, I will get you to send it to my kids place in Tacoma, I can put it on there - my sciatic nerve will hold you in the highest esteem for all time.

The bracket is held on by a 10mm bolt Just undo this bolt - 1/4" ratchet with a3" extension and the bracket drops allowing easy access to the screws. The 10 mm nut on the bracket is welded so you only need one wrench. I cant get both arms in there anyway.

Tom, the one that was in the car '83 300D when we bought it was a stamped 6.83 and the second set of numbers (which I am told is the set that counts) is 0015457932.
I replaced it with a 38/86 0035458632. which worked for a couple of months. The one from the bear wagon is out of an 84 I do not have the numbers off it, but I am told that any 80 - 85 300D series will work. Am also informed that the actuator can cause failure in the amplifier module.

A tip for removing the amplifier;
The amplifier is held onto a bracket with two phillips head screws, one of them is almost impossible to get at. The bracket is held on by a 10mm bolt Just undo this bolt - 1/4" ratchet with a3" extension and the bracket drops allowing easy access to the screws.

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Fuel Economy Check '84 30CD Auto , AC Used

 

Nate, is your turbo spooling up, fast enough to keep up with your propensity for walking on the loud pedal??? Black smoke could be poor spray pattern but if it looks like all 8 cylinders (oops 5)are blowing smoke, it may be lack of O2. Silly question knowing who I ask - how is your air cleaner?

Re: [diesel_mercedes] The dreaded cruise control.

 

What model car did you remove them from, and what will they go into? Any numbers from the old parts?

[diesel_mercedes] metal brake line question

 

I am looking at replacing several of the metal brake lines on my 1961 190Db.

These people offer brake lines, but when I enter the info into their Compatibility query, it says they won't fit the 180D or 190D, 1961 or 1962.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380483474068

 

I have measured the threaded fitting on my car and get 10 x 27 metric. (27 threads may not be exactly right.) I can get the short piece that runs from the master cylinder to the left front brake from Niemoeller in Europe for 5,50 € with 6,55 € shipping. 

http://www.niemoeller.de/w121-mercedes-190D-ponton-en/B110-422501.html

 

What have others done when thinking about their old, possibly rusted on the inside, metal brake tubing?  Bill in Oregon
