I wondered about that.  I usually put it in the heavy trucks.  DOT 4 is recommended for Mercs, or just wise?

The clutch bleeding procedure is bizarre.  Worked well though.

I guess I came to the right place.  :o)
We recently acquired an 82 240d and I've been trying to get educated.
Not what I wanted to do at planting time.
It's some what of a basket case, unfortunately.  Nice Florida body though.

Felix the Cat (1959) Venus and the Master Cylinder 

Looking forward to the discussion.

[diesel_mercedes] Leaky Master Cylinder

 


Felix will never be forgotten ! .

In the early 1960's I tried to explain to my School Mates the humor in " The Master Cylinder ! " they looked at me with glazed eyes.....

It's wasn't easy being a Car Nut @ 5 years old .

FWIW , in the past I have sourced and used , used master cylinders from the junkyard but you must be extremely careful in choosing , removal , transport to prevent any stray dirt or dust from entering it and so on .

The master cylinder is kaput ~ get rid of it A.S.A.P. before it fails and you hit something and destroy the car or kill someone .

It's an easy job to change it and the bleeding of the brakes afterwards will ensure your brake fluid is nice and fresh .

USE DOT 4 ! .

Seems like fluid pressue related not vac - checked fluid reservoir and seemed ok, but will keep an eye on. Afraid it may be in master or booster. Any / all suggestions welcome - my son slammed on the brakes a few times today by mistake while he was driving an wondering if it's related. Too late if so, but one more piece of data. Thx in advance, wish me luck :-)

[diesel_mercedes] Felix The Cat

 



Thanx for the link Bill ;

In the late 1970's in Los Angeles , channel 5 had an early Sunday morning show where they played the 1920's black and white Felix The Cat cartoons , they were very different and always preyy good .
