[diesel_mercedes] Re: MORE Thursday Fuel Funnies

 

Thanx ! .

That's about what I had from Chevron ;

I ran it out and refilled the tank with Mobil brand and it's clear again now .

Still having some issues with slow idle and occasional stalling .

I got up and out before daybreak this morning and drove to San Bernardino where LKQ LIED and said they had TWO W-123 Coupes , of course not one W-123 in the yard but I did find a couple bits and bobs ($8.95) .

Then I headed West stopping at various LKQ yards on my way , only the Rialto yard had the same two picked over W-123's I hit Friday , as my HVAC fan still isn't working I bought the " TEMPOMAT " fan control box , I don't know if it's any good but i have to get some air flowing through this car soon as Summer is coming up fast .

When I left this , last yard , I started the engine and heard a terrible squealing racket from under the hood ~ popped it and wasn't able to discern what's making the noise , prolly the water pump (replaced not long ago) or the alternator (ditto) . I had where to be so I hit the road and after a few miles the racket stopped .

I hope I can get the time to remove the V-Belts and hand twirl tings to see which  one is rough indicating a bad bearing .

Or maybe it's just old dried out V-Belts clamoring for replacement....

It rained to - day =8-( not fun when you're Junk Yarding .

I need to find a W-116 300SD / SDL A.S.A.P. if anyone has one for parts....I need some non wearing engine parts .

Is Ben from Detroit still out there ? .

no it's diesel.
