I go to a place in Portland (Milwaukie actually) called "Discount Import Parts".  They are primarily a VW parts house but can do all German/French/Italian etc.  The do a lot of Bosch stuff and offer Bosch rebuilt alternators/starters etc that have lifetime warranty.  The rebuilds are by Bosch.  Not sure about the price but I seem to remember about $80 several years ago.

[diesel_mercedes] Voltage of system dropped voltage.

 

As some of you might know I had a lot of trouble with my charging system last month.  Since I replaced the alternator belt I've had no trouble and have been watching my voltage monitor like a hawk.  I've gone over a thousand miles with good service. The other day my voltage dropped to battery voltage.  But Ha ha I have my monitor and will not be stranded.  I went home and on the way kept the engine revved up.  I got back to 13 vdc but no higher.  WT Farm door is happening?  I guess I'll take out my voltage regulator and brushes and see if they are ok.(replaced a month ago)  You all say not to get rid of the alternator but this is getting annoying.  New brushes.  New belt.  Connection to the starter cleaned, tightened and the boot replaced.  If I take out the brushes and they are uneven or excessively worn I think I'll get a new alternator.  If so what to get.  Autohaus AZ, for around a hundred, Napa for a Bosch at 155 dollars.  What to do?  Lawrence Rhodes..........

We'll see how adventurous I am  ;

I was working on Tom's old '81 300SD in the street when some @$$hat backed into it and could have killed me .

I don't like working in the street but figured taking the door apart to fix the glass that finally fell off the track TWO YEARS + after I told him it was going to fail , would be safe enough .

Lucky for me I wasn't working on an old VW Beetle ! .

[diesel_mercedes] Sunday 3/29

 

Whew ;

I have been working my butt off getting my old truck's engine ready to be re installed .

It turned out pretty nice all in all .

To - day I tried to rest but around mid day SWMBO wanted me to take her '82 240D to the gas station , fill it up , buy more Diesel Kleen (she can't remember this and so uses my nickname " Go-Go Juice " , this will be the first bottle of Silver For Summer , I added a few ounces of the White For Winter bottle to the tank and bought a couple quarts of engine oil to carry in the trunk .

I couldn't find any oil marked ' for Diesel engines ' and I spent some time looking .

I added some coolant and so on , took her to lunch , it was 87° F out so I dialed up " refrigerator " on the R-12 charged AC , fan on low and she complained it was too cold .

Off to do a brake job on my old Metropolitan Nash Fixed Head Coupe to - morrow , replace the howling driver's side front wheel bearings too if I can find  some good  ones in my parts stash .

-Nate

[diesel_mercedes] Re: belts & malfunctioning meter

 

I've cut off my AC condenser belt since last summer. It was not working well anyway. In the SF area, it never gets too hot, so it did not matter... but out here in Baltimore, it gets hot in the summer...so may put it back on. Brings up the question...if you cut off the belt, why not take off the condenser, ac hoses etc.?


1984 300sd.... odometer stopped at 249k, is prolly at least 400k by now.
