[diesel_mercedes] Front/Rear Glass replacement.. w126

 

The rear has the legendary de-laminaton.. 

The front had two stone chips-- the first I was told wasn't a candidate for the "repair" stuff they do-- a second happened about a week later..

...that turned into a "mustache" last week..

My "other" 300SD has similar glass-- so "parts car" won't help here..

Thoughts about Safelite replacement??   Better or worse than "junkyard replacement?"

I emailed safelite for a "quote..."    The car is liability only, for insurance-- so it's "out of pocket" no matter what the route..

Do front screens become "brittle?"   Did 'Ma Benz' ever sort out the delamination on the rear screens?   I think 90% of the ones I see roaming NW ohio have "some degree" of it..

The car is going to continue being my daughter (17's) daily driver..  Her goal is to keep it "forever..."   So I try not to much around going "cheap" here..   The car doesn't look at at the moment.. *shrug*

[diesel_mercedes] Vac diagram/question w126

 

I've known for some time that I've got a vac system issue in my 84 300SD..

The central locks don't "extactly" work..  The drivers door locks the trunk and fuel door..  Not the car doors..

On cold days (and when the engine is cold) the engine doesn't shut off with the key..  Locking the door doesn't shut the car off (as my old 240D did)-- but pressing the brake pedal does..  Pressing a different button on the hvac controller does, as well..  (Changing from defrost to vent, I think is what I did, yesterday..)

I've been having cold start issues-- I'm wondering if the pump doesn't have enough vacuum start?  Is that a possibility??

after the engine starts, even a second or two of runtime-- it's a non-issue..

The glow plug circuit has been interrogated to death-- and it's functional, the glows have all been ohm tested (with removal/replacement scheduled...)   It doesn't "ACT" like a glow plug issue..
