[diesel_mercedes] Turbo Binding Up

 


Just so ~

What I did was to unbolt the oil feed pipe at the top of the turbo (two 13 MM ATF bolts)  and gently move the steel  pipe aside so I could pour in some MMO whilst hand turning the turbo shaft with a nut driver ~ I did this until I felt the resistance loosen up a bit then allowed it to soak a while then hand twirled it some more as I poured in more MMO .

Sadly , my turbo has plenty of lateral and radial play so I know it's toast .

Turbo life is one more reason to always use thin fully synthetic oils and change them when blistering hot .

My poor old engine was full of gooey sludge when I bought it , several HOT oil & filter changes cured this .

The shafts in the turbos can get gummed up and will seize if the car was driven in such a way that it never really gets spooled up.  Nates TurboCoupe had this malady when he bought it.  Typical little-old-lady car.  I think he got his freed up by pouring a solvent through the turbo's oil lines, and working the compressor wheel by hand.  You won't have this problem, being as it's just been rebuilt.  (But it's a good lesson to all turbo owners to occasionally do an "Italian tune-up" and run these cars hard to get the turbo spooled up and the oil in them circulating.)

You can confirm the turbo is spinning by removing the large, U-shaped hose between the air filter and the turbo, and observing that the compressor wheel is spinning.  It will spin even at idle.  Under NO circumstance should you even attempt to touch the spinning wheel, unless you don't like your fingers.

Bogy did some good "out of the box" thinking.  Sure sounds like a bad torque convertor.  Normally, I would think it would go out all at once, not off and on.  And the problem would not be noticeable at highway speeds.  But, I'll be the last to say that I've seen it all....

[diesel_mercedes] Window Switch Service

 



What Marek said ;

I'd highly suggest taking the switch apart over a light colored cloth as there are tiny springs and ball bearings plus of course the contacts proper .

I also suggest hand polishing the stamped copper contact bit that'll fall out loose , the cleaner and shinier you get it , the faster your windows will work and the longer this repair will last .,

Use a tiny flat bladed screw driver to ever so gently pry the switches apart .

DEOXIT is terrific stuff .

-Nate

The problems with both your turn signals and your hazard lights are almost certainly due to dirty contacts in the hazard switch.  And if only one of the windows is not working, then, again, it's most likely the switch.  Located as they are in the console between the seats, they attract dirt and grime like Beverly Hills attracts plastic surgeons.  The good news is that these switches are both old and German, so they can be disassembled, cleaned and lubricated with a good quality spray contact cleaner/lubricant, re-assembled and re-installed.  For the cleaner, I like CAIG's Deoxit, available at many guitar/musician stores, or high end audio/home theatre retailers.  Or use the stuff Radio Shack sells.  Once treated, the switches should last another 30-years or so....

I forgot to mention no hazard either.
I'll take a look at the hazard switch then see if it has a problem.
