[diesel_mercedes] Re : Bad shifting 1983 240 D

 


That's the Modulator and the short vacuum hose needs to be a snug fit ~ Diesel contaminated oil on any rubber hose , softens and ruins it so I'd got get another bit of hose & replace that and any other underhood hose you can slide off...

The engine stops on a dime.  No problem there.  The vacuum connection I'm talking about is on the passenger side of the transmission.  It's some sort of swivel deal.  Maybe that isn't supposed to swivel.  But it seems factory.  With a spring clip holding it together.  Engine had an oil bath courtesy of my wife leaving off the oil filler cap for a hundred or so miles.  Lucky not to lose the engine.  Lawrence Rhodes...

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Modern E320D???

 

I have a friend with one. Engine is so quiet you cant hear it run. The car is like sitting in/driving a computer. Everything is computer this computer that. I tried to look at the engine, can't see it. He will need a mechanic/tech to take care of the car for him. Max

[diesel_mercedes] Re : Fixing a W123 Heater

 


Brian here is a very brave man ! . not dropping everything and fixing SWMBO's heater is a risky proposition in my view .

I'd think the fan is the usual brushes needing replacement . as you're a P-A-P junkie (like me) I'd think finding a newer , replacement fan complete will be an easy thing to do .

Maybe the push button box (always easy to find rebuilts in the Yards) is the next easy thing to try ? . I had a buttons only part I'd give you but I seem to have lost it .

I know it's not cold here in So, Cal. , being 65° F in the daytime but , keeping SWMBO happy is wise if you want to be allowed to play with old cars .

Guess I will have to do some electrical digging to see why the blower isn't blowing. I have all the necessary parts laying around, I was just hoping for a simple solution. I guess I should make a list of what else to fix while things are apart. But, my wife has next week off from work so that means the car will be running around town, and I can't tear into it until 2012 rolls around. Oh well, I guess I can wait.
