3.2 MM I *think* .

I need some and NAPA no longer carries it (?!?) , neither does Autozone nor O'Rielly's .

Who carries it on the shelf in L.A. ? .

[diesel_mercedes] Basic Transportation

 



Just so Warren ;

I've had more vehicles than most ever will , I was deep into old 35HP VW's for Decades before they became cool and the stupid assed kids began stealing & destroying them .

This 240D is very similar in concept to a 1950's VW Beetle ~ simple and robust , able to keep running long after others have given up as long as you take care of it .

Amazingly economical to operate .

I put 182 miles on it to - day and loved every (poky , slow) moment .

This one will go 83 MPH wide open if I wait long enough , I don't like to run it that hard .

Nate, 'bare bones diesel', that is the essence of these cars.  I drove my Dad's then new

70 when I was on leave, from the bay area to Merced in July.  Ran 80 MPH the entire

way, no ac on the car.  Wow, it just kept wanting to go.  Same car today, and it just

keeps going.

RE: [diesel_mercedes] W123 HVAC Fan

 

Here are bits and pieces on eBay, using W123 HVAC Fan as a search.  Bill in Oregon

The pictures of the fans do look different. But I realized I took a fan out of a 1980 300D(pretty sure it has CC) and used it in my 240. Anyway I'm out of fans and in need of a spare, firm believer of spare things that go out. Max

Max ;

The same URO fan fits my '82 240D and my '84 300CD , the 240D has the basic HVAC with rotary controls , the 300CD has the Klima II with push buttons so I'd say go look at the photos of said fan motor on Rock Auto then buy it wherever it's  cheapest .

As far as your Insurance Carrier , it sounds like time to do some comparison shopping .

I just realized my car insurance (state farm) charges  more for the 1980 Mercedes than my 2006 Subaru. I use the subie over the winter and then park it, suspend insurance, do the same thing for the Mercedes in season. I guess I change cars instead of tires. Why drive 4WD all summer?. Anyway I guess its no big deal but these Mercedes are built safe and built to survive crashes. I think its bogus.. Money makes the world go round. Also I just was gonna buy one of the Uro  heater/ac fans Nate mentioned from Arizona Autohaus. But they seem to be only for the CC heat systems, bummer , the other ones are $311. My 240 does not have CC, wonder if I could make the Uro work for mine. Max
