Re: [diesel_mercedes] Need motor mounts

 

Go to any of the parts houses online that service Mercedes (autohausaz.com for instance). Drill down to your car, model, species - and locate the part you want - normally a picture and part number are going to pop up. I use 5 or 6 online sources to SEE what I am going to order. Often, with MB's the same part will go for 5 years on same and similar models. For instance,

So can I just get motor mounts at Auto Zone, or is there a special one for my 300D?

Trish, Each motor mount is specially made for each body style and
motor combination. (Said the other way round, there are no universal
motor mounts.) If Autozone has the one for our MB, you can buy it
there. Bobby

[diesel_mercedes] My mechanic sucks!

 

Yes, and that would be me! I ordered the rebuild kit from Mercedessource to rebuild the turbo on my '79 300SD. After a series of fits and starts over the course of about 3 months, finally got it done but obviously didn't do it very well. After 300 miles it gave up the ghost. Loud whirring sound then kaput! Not working at all now.

Luckily I have another ready to go (original) but now I need to take it all back apart again and reinstall the original (rebuilt the one off my '80 300SD parts car.

Not driving the car at all now, read to many horror stories about runaway diesels due to oil in the intake and metal shavings in the pan.

Other than that...fun times. Car is (was) running great.

[diesel_mercedes] Re : What thinkest thou?

 


I'd save it until you find an indie that can do it , some shops have this nifty alignment tool that holds onto the wheels proper so you can use it on any hoist .

We had one @ LAX when I were a LAX Police mechanic back when my Sports Coupe was new & shiny .

Not many shops have alignment racks. There are some very fine mechanics there (as well as some hacks). So I will have to decide in the first 2,000 miles. Dont want to waste cash on car repairs, savin it for margaritas.

I think you need an alignment as soon as you can afford it.

Put in new ball joints today on the passenger side, very carefully measured them in. Do not really have the time or funds to have an alignment done. What do you think?
I will watch front tires like a hawk & if I begin to see uneven wear, that will answer my own question.

Counting down to the Friday blast off to Mazatlan in the 300D.

BT , DT but ;

It's nothing I'd ever admit publicly , nor suggest doing .

If it's bad you'll feel it straightaway , if it's fair , you'll notice it in high speed corners (like that canyon , ahem) if it's really close you'll begin to see some wear or cupping along the out edge of the treads , watch it like a hawk .

I assume you've checked the toe - in using a crayon & tape or yardstick ? set to zero or under 1/8" toe .
