[diesel_mercedes] Re : W123 lives again

 


Looks like a grey market car .

The filter thing he does in the very beginning , is terrible ~ He has no idea how to work on cars .

Whenever possible , use a box and wrench and_always) hold the banjo fitting so you don't break nor damage the plastic hoses .

Plus , when bleeding out the injectors , you only need loosen the 17MM nut one flat ~ he loosens them up quite a ways .

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Odometer problems

 


When it dies , you must replace the drive gear or glue it back on the shaft as it's slipping .

Any competent speedo shop can do this , you'll $ave by taking the speedo binnacle out if you're handy , you prolly won't damage anything and can also wipe clean the illumination lights & replace the burned out ones and maybe even fix the bad dash light dimmer rheostat .

As I was driving the car the odometer stopped working when it hit 195,000 miles (precisely). Both the odometer and the trip odometer. I can push the reset button on the trip odometer and it will work for about a mile or so, as does the odometer. In a 42 mile commute I racked up about 10 miles by doing this.

The knob did pop off in my hand as well as the spring, but I just had to press it back on. May be unrelated since it went 50 miles after that before stopping to work.

I have one of those in another vehicle. Don't know whether it applies to the Mercedes. Because the motor and alternator is running whenever the turn signal is flashing, it doesn't help the battery. I'm a LED fan, but the turn signal LED won't save many dinosaurs.
