Re: [diesel_mercedes] 83 300d No Air Coming from Center Vents

 

Hi Michael,

There is a vacuum pod right under the dash, above the vents, that
controls the flap. It's probably leaking and needs replacing, though
you'll have to pull the dash to get to it. I just pried open the flap
with a screwdriver and put a stick in there to hold it open. When I have
to pull the dash some day I'll replace all the pods, until then, I'll
use the stick.

There must be some type of valve because I can feel very little of the cool air (air conditioner turned on) but a flap or something is turned off. Does anyone know where the valve controlling the center vent is? I am also willing to just manually flip the lever to let the cool air out. I actually don't care if it is permanently stuck open so I can get air out.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Metric Cresent Wrenchs

 

G.,

An adjustable wrench.  Crescent was a popular brand name.

(This thread is a joke.)

Metric Cresent wrenches are extremely rare and should be held onto at all cost; unlike the SAE and Whitworth Cresent wrenches that can be found at most any yard sale.

[diesel_mercedes] Re: fuel

 

There is a very simple reason why diesel is more expensive than gas.
Heard a radio interview (coupla years ago) on CBC radio, with a high mucky muck from one of the big oilies. What it boiled down to was that diesel costs more at the pump, simply because they can get it.
