[diesel_mercedes] library for chilton manual

 

The local library offers online databases for access to library members. One of them is the Chilton auto repair manual. So now from the comfort of my computer chair, I can look up how to ...remove a turbo for example, engine specifications, maintenance issues, and recalls (not too useful)plus many other sections.

And what is available for free is better than what I have in the owner's manual.

Anyway, it may be available at your local library, the cost is reasonable (free). An added benefit is there may be other databases and reference materials available also.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Turbo rehab

Hi Jim,

It was/is me. I have it apart and have vowed to reassemble it this
weekend. So far no big deal at all. Getting the thing apart once off the
car was the only hassle and that's due of course to it being "welded"
together by carbon and high temps for 25+ years. But nothing a rubber
mallet and some brute force can't over come. God bless the BFH.

Based on TN Nate's recommendation I'm going to take it to the turbo shop
(same place doing my head ironically) and for $35 they will balance it
for me. Seems like money well spent.

I did use the Mercedessource kit and it is really well done. Very easy
to follow and all the parts are there.

[diesel_mercedes] Turbo rehab

 

Someone on here reported rehabbing a turbo recently and I was wondering how it turned out. Was it a 123? Also was it the mercedessource kit? I was thinking about making that a project for this summer.

Alan,
Who are the aftermarket tin benders you're referring to here? I've got some nasty rust that was repaired by the PO & it's time to do a better job.

The aftermarket tin benders make replacement inner door bottoms for the 123. Unfortunately, the doesn't seem to be much in the way of replacement metal for the 126s.

Tabcobodyparts.com has a good selection on their website.  you can also google auto body patch panels.

While doing new motor mounts and checking fuel lines last night I noticed my
split boot is just about gone.  I'm considering using packing tape for temp
fix.  I put these on a looooong time ago.  Is there any thing out there better
than a pressure fit?  Lawrence Rhodes.....
