Happy Birthday Nate!

I figured it'd be all that and a shot of Strartron, for your birthday.

I also decided to clean up the new (used, date coded 1982 lucky me) light alloy wheels I recently bought .

They looked pretty bad with close to 1/8" of accumulated brake dust and road grime but cleaned up very well with my new cleaner stuff and some brushes, rags and elbow grease .

I was so pleased with them I decided to try cleaning the wheel well where a leaky oil cooler line had made a mess .

This went so well I crawled underneath the car and began cleaning the tranny and chassis as I'm shortly to do a valve job and tranny rebuild .

The hub caps got so clean I broke out the MetAll pink stainless steel polish and was able to remove 99 + 44/100's % of that black stain they all seem to get .

That's hot I spent my 61st. birthday ! I had a great time although I was really grotty by the time I'd finished .

The neat thing about this new de greaser is : it doesn't de fat my skin like the old stuff I used and it contains no carcinogens ! .

Is this a good vehicle? I'm in NH with the winters. It also seems to
have great visibility compared to the other SUV's with small windows.

Not a diesel, but maybe someone has heard good/bad about this model?
From what I can see, they had some problems early 2000's. Less
complaints are out there after 2014. I believe this may be renamed GLC
in late 2015 or 2016.


Thanks

[diesel_mercedes] W123 Fuel Gauge

 


Thanx Alan;

Reading all the links kindly provided by Bill I see the gauge head should be 0 ~ 90 Ohms .

I should get out my meter and test it but I have other things to do and the low fuel lamp works fine .

I prolly oughta make up a gauge head tester by finding a rheostat that goes from 0 ~ 90 Ohms.....

I've tested fuel level floats by connecting an ohm meter across the contacts.  You can at least verify that the signal changes with movement of the float.  Just be glad that the float access is where it is.
