[diesel_mercedes] Vacuum problems revisited.

 

At the same time maybe I'll replace all the shirt rubber vacuum hose bits in the central locking as there's a leak unless it's cold out , the vacuum bleeds away in a matter of minuets , this normally indicates old & stiff rubber hose connections , they're every where throughout the entire car , inside the doors , the trunk and so on  .


-Nate                                        Nate's note reminded me I have a big problem.  My motor intermittently started to not shut off when turning the key off.  Also my door locks seemed to work better in hot weather...but maybe that is serendipity.....for sure my locks don't work.  So seems to me replacing all the rubber connectors is a good deal...except...where are they?  Is there a good resource pinpointing all the locations of the fiddly bits(rubber connectors)?  Lawrence Rhodes

[diesel_mercedes] Fuel Economy Check '82 240D Slushbox Tanyy

 

340 miles , Starton added (about 8 oz.) and the AC run pretty much constantly .

One 100 + mile trip with four people in the car , all freeway except for on and off .

29.9 MPG .

The Hirshmann antenna shaft Tom gave me (bought) back when I first bought this car , seized

~ I'm going to remove it and try to polish then grease , maybe use silicone grease ? .


If I can find my can of it , I'll use Lubriplate dustless gun grease .


I love this poor old worn out thing .


I shampooed the seats , drop in carpets and door cards , this made the side runner carpets look nasty so now I want to remove all the seats and drop in carpets , shampoo the side runner carpets and painted floors and wash the original head liner too .
