Finally got my email fixed!
Clean the pistons carefully. If they are metal, they are likely to be chrome plated, in which case, any flaws in the plating with mean that the pistons are junk. Just replacing the rubber bits will do no good. If you have new pistons, you should be good to go if you clean out the bore really well, make sure the seal groove is smooth and clean and that the groove for the boot is in good nick.
I've seen this on other makes of cars where there are mixed caliper makers.

Simple enough to do what he did. Hammer out a few fender washers and two new nuts. But I wonder what the original looks like. One piece?

[diesel_mercedes] 1977 240D

 

#1 : get some special wrenches or pay to have it done but have the valves adjusted A.S.A.P. .

#2 : upgrade all the glow plugs to the later 'pencil' typ as your current series setup _will_ fail and when it does all four glow plugs quit .

To do this properly you'll need to replace the early glow plug harness, not hyard to make one up from scratch, use HEAVY GAUGE WIRE as they draw lots of current .

#3 : Do a HOT OIL & filter change, replacing the fuel filters (there's two of them) at the same time, be sure to only use the clear plastic primary intake fuel filter so you'll know whenever some crud gets into the fuel
(happens more often than most realize and the translucent filters mean you can't tell, the car just stops)


#4 : Go to your F.L.A.P.S. and buy a bottle of Poer Service (brand) "Diesel Kleen" in silver ot white bottle and dump 1/3 of it in, save the rest .

#5 : now go drive and enjoy your Classic Mercedes Diesel Economy car, don't be afraid of it .

If you choose 'no E-Mail' in the settings you won't be swamped with unwanted messages, you can always trap the 'reply' address and write replies from your E-Mail inbox .

Hi Bill,
I have sent out several messages to the list, first through my regular email utility (Thunderbird), then through the Charter webmail, and finally on the group page. So far, that is the only one that has gotten through. I have retyped my info several times! Very frustrating.
So here goes again, on the group page. I have a 1977 W123 240D with series glow plugs and the metal relay under the dash. I just bought the car a few months ago and need to get the bugs out of it.
I'm beginning to realize that the car had fairly good cosmetic workover on it shortly before I bought it, and he did a few major things, but he seems to have ignored the basic condition of the engine. Well, that's fine. We can fix that, right?
I think I need to replace every filter. Three tries and then a stumbling start, no smoke. Since fiddling with the relay, that seems better, though the blade fuse looks corroded and I think it would be a smart thing to put a fresh one in.

[diesel_mercedes] Glow Plug Relay

 

Hi Mark ;

I just get used ones from junk yard but I have looked at them and there's an adjustable 6MM contact screw that's locked with a 10MM ATF nut ~ I keep telling my self I'll take one apart and try to  polish up the end of that screw just because it's the most likely failure point and if the relay's dead anyway......

I just have so much going on I always end up tossing the dead relay in the recycle bin .

It's easy to test, use a static test light .

Hello Stan,
My email is being blocked by Charter. I've been out of communication for almost a week. They are quick with the bills, but not the help.
I got the tie rods on last night. The next big problem is figuring out why I get no glow plugs most of the time. Three, sometimes four turns of the key and they finally come on most of the time. I should look for a signal to the relay. If that's not it, then the relay is wonky.
The metal relays are pricey. Does anyone have luck fixing them?

Now that I live 100 miles south of them, I guess I will have to take a drive up and rub noses. Maybe I can get in one of their videos.

The W123 appears to be clamped at the base by tabs.

Here is general search on eBay. They don't show for the W123, which I think you have.
