Re: [diesel_mercedes] Springs

 

Please clarify your statement.  Was it you or the car that was loaded to the gills, or both?

I vaguely remember one fellow here saying he fitted W116 (early 300SD) rear springs to his W123 Sedan to increase load carrying .

Or, maybe Tom @ he M-B Classic Center can order you in some rear springs for a 240DL, this being the Taxi version not sold in North America.....

Plenty of ways to go here, I'm betting a pair of Junk yard 300D springs are going to be slightly stiffer .

Me, I like a really firm ride but them I drive my old Mercedes' hellbent for leather most of the time, often loaded to the gills .

We mainly use it (82 240d) to go to town once a month. hour drive And I
don't like drag-assing back with a full load.

If it was a Ford I'd just go in the catalog and get something a little
heavier and a little taller (maybe), but I don't have access to that
kind of data.

Napa seems to be pretty useless with mercedes.


Any ideas or info appreciated.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Spring rate

 

if your springs are original, they may just need to be replaced, and
supported by some bilstein HDs.

RE: [diesel_mercedes] Spring rate

 

eibach.com   - contact their tech support, if they have an upgrade to your springs.

I've used them on a 2002 BMW with great improvements.

Also, do you have a real spring shop around where you live?  I had springs made

up, and the cost is reasonable. 

Lastly air shocks?  Check with Monroe and Gabriel if they have a listing for your 240

Re: [diesel_mercedes] K100 - D Fuel treatment

 

That's cool. I never would have had the problem to begin with if he'd
used that, I bet.

Good stuff. Big relief.

We've been running it since August and no further problems, so I figured
you guys would want to know.

Good thing you mentioned it though. It's something I no longer think about.
