[diesel_mercedes] does anyone have an 82 300td SLS control valve

 

Folks


Do any of you have a spare 123 series 300td SLS control valve that needs a home?

I think mine is leaking down .... everything rises with the engine running, but the rear end is squatting like a Citroen at the curb when i'm parked.

I know i can rebuild mine, but would rather just have a good used one to swap out and then do a rebuild at leisure.

If you have something, please email me off list,
thanks,

xx rick

I use it on my aluminum wheels prior to polish

FWIW, I've used that acid TB cleaner to take rust stains off ceramic and marble tile.

After
watching the video, I don't think I have the stamina.
Or, maybe mine is just not that bad yet.

I certainly don't! That's why my 81 300td is
loosing it's trim - piece by piece. As it gets bad and
starts to pull out/rust out/bend over/etc, I just pull it
off and throw it away. But looks don't matter much to
me. I'm in this for the boringly reliable-ness of these
rigs. It's like the lady at the recycler once told me -
"You use that thing like it was a truck.". That
said, there is certainly no american truck that will run
this well when/if it lives to be thirty+ years old. --- On

I would NEVER use any type of acid on aluminum trim. That will turn it white. That might work on Chrome but not on aluminum unless it has been chrome plated.
