Re: [diesel_mercedes] DIY Turbo Repair

 

Ken recommends the center and intake side off the turbo, leaving the
exhaust side attached.
The exhaust side is the heavy part.
I didn't have that option, so I took it all apart.

A vice helps.

Give yourself enough time to clean it all up, and do it right.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] RE: Different types of R4 a/c compressors?

 

Nate,

I couldn't get there directly, either.

It worked by going to Mercedes-Benz then 1979 then 300CD then heat and a/c then a/c compressor clutch.  Turns out 48297 is a Four Seasons number.

OK, thanks for the info, guys.  I have found a clutch at rockauto.com that is supposed to fit my a/c compressor (according to their database).  It is R4 clutch part number 48297.  However, the photo shows a clutch that has six bolts around the perimeter.  I think that clutch is a later style and I am not sure if that will fit my compressor.  My compressor does not have the clutch with the six bolts around it.  Anyone know?

WELCOME ! .

Don't forget to raise the front wheels off the ground and liberally grease the trunnions and other bits in your front suspension .

Use lithium grease .

Hi everyone,

I have a 71 220D and looking forward to getting to know some fellow benz/diesel owners.

Anyone from around Michigan?
