Re: [diesel_mercedes] AC

 

Nope, no R-12. I got some stuff made in Idaho. I went to their place and got a case for me and a case for Henry. It takes much less of the stuff, almost half as much. Works good. I even put it in my Sunfrost 12VDC fridge. Max

So far I've not had to replace the R-4 compressor in SWMBO's '82 240D , I've re charged it once or twice and it always blows ice cold .


One important thing to keep your AC working for decades is to _USE_IT_ ~ every two weeks it needs to be run to circulate the oil and lubricate the seals .


Failure to do this is what kills 99 % of all AC systems .


FWIW , running the AC on full cold will defrost your windshield faster too , by the time you've gone three or four blocks the glass will be clear and you can cut off the AC and crank up the heat .

I got my AC working in my 80 240, finally. It's been working great for about 2 years now. Before that we replaced everything except the compressor and the AC would work  for the short summer then leak over the winter, then next summer a shot of AC juice and it would work. I finally replaced the compressor and now, wow, it works good. Max

Can't speak for Diesel Giant, but Mercedes Source is north of Tacoma and could be on your way down. They have lots of used, almost new, bits and pieces. Might even be able to explore their website under "used parts" or give them a call.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Diesel Giant

 

Tony,

His website is straight forward.  This is his about.  At the bottom, his personal email is listed.


Good luck.
Bobby

White shift levers ? . eh ? .

I'd be skittish about not order / tracking # , give them three weeks then dispute the charges to your account ~ keep a log of dates & times you tried calling .

Maybe he's just busy a few weeks .

[diesel_mercedes] Turbo Overhaul

 

O.K. ;

I've known this junkyard turbo wasn't stellar for a long time (years) now but the sluggish acceleration is getting to me , especially after driving SWMBO's low mileage 300TD that weights far more than my dainty (heh) Diesel Sports Coupe does ~

The Wagon simply _hauls_@$$_ with very little foot feed , the Coupe needs full throttle to go 2/3 as fast and when I manually spin the turbo impeller I fell it has drag so I bet when I open it up I'll find serious coking in there .

I just ordered up the higher grade kit from Kent @ Mercedes Source .

Tom's been after me to do this for a while now , the constant exhaust smoking & Diesel Smoot on the cove , tells me he's right and I shoulda pulled the trigger here a few years ago .

Anyway, relatively easy to install but not a "perfect fit" so I have to slam the door shut which I think will jiggle some screws loose one of these days. URO parts apparently is a very MAJOR after market supplier of parts for vehicles. I accidentally got in touch with their HQ offices when TWO front window seals arrived with defects (razor blade slits?) so I had to return them and get replacements.
