Re: [diesel_mercedes] THUMPING NOISE

 

When you bench bleed your new master cylinder do you need 2 or 3 plugs? Max

Take the time to look hard at the rear sub frame bushings ~ they'll _look_ fine but have either clean or rusty marks around them if the sub frame is shifting from shot rubber bushings .

Besides the welding I am really hoping to find a failed Guibo when I check it out Monday.

Not quite sure what you mean Nate. I had a moving observer follow me as I accelerated about 10 or 12 times and they could see nothing unusual in the behavior of the tires. Where should I lok to find these clean (or rusty) marks?

[diesel_mercedes] Fuel Economy Check '82 240D Automatic

 

202 miles , mostly with AC and SWMBO driving In Town , 22.3 MPG .

No Diesel Kleen used .

Just bought a new bottle of ' Silver for Summer ' Diesel Kleen Cetane boost and after adding 3 Oz. and filling the tank I fired it up to check the ATF (down about a coffee cup) and as it was idling and mixing the new fuel & GoGo Juice mix , the engine smoothed out and speeded up about 200 RPM .
It (Diesel Kleen) really helps with the low compression # 1 cylinder .

AutoZone sells it for $9.99 / bottle , if you're careful about measuring it out it really goes a long ways and increases fuel economy whilst boosting power at the same time ~ a co$t efficient win-win .
339,019 miles .

[diesel_mercedes] Digital Mercedes

 


Temperature gauge , cruise control , Klima II HVAC , Becker radio.......

All my cars use only one key for everything .

I *do* have the Valet keys but rarely use them .

Good to hear Nate - I too am a 3 keyed lock un-locker....and it's awesome to be able to lock it again....anyone who sees the car lock and unlock usually notices the decidedly analog behavior as the locks slowly engage/dis-engage....and are shocked to learn they're vacuum operated. As far as I know, the only "digital" device in the entire car (as of 1984), is the temp gauge - which is spot on correct to this day. 

I've been very lucky with the AC so far this summer - once I got it properly charged it's working well enough that I'm going to leave it be....but that doesn't mean I can't visit the Klima folks - it'll just have to wait until after I get back from taking my son to Florida Tech next week into the following week - for that trek, we're renting a Ford F150 to drive down and flying back....
