O.K. ;

I SWEAR it has to be evil Oil Pan Pixies sneaking into my back yard at night because if I ever heard/felt the car bottoming out like this , I'd change how I drove over that particular area .

Pic. # 1 : oil pan with a multitude of dents and scrapes , the corner near the drain plugs eventually gets too thin and cracks , beginning a slow drip I discover after I've parked it in my Son's or Shirley's spotless driveway *:-B nerd

Pic. # 2 & 3 : Armed with a new oil pan and the usually gone missing tranny cooler steel line anti-wear grommets (part # included so you can order up two for each old car you own , Mercedes or other brand) I began ~

Pic. # 4 : the inside of an original Mercedes oil pan , notice they even paint and bake it _inside_ to help avoid corrosion etc.

Pic. # 5 : removing the oil pan reveals what the inside of a well maintained engine looks like ~ you may buy it full of sludge and dirt but frequent BLISTERING HOT oil and filter changes will make any old junk look this good in less than 10,000 miles .

Pic. # 6 : I added a Rare Earth Magnet from Harbor Freight (HANDY HINT : cheaper than magnetic drain plugs !) to the old mangled drain plug ~ not sure it you can see it but about 1/5th of it is ground off (I really must find a factory skid plate)

Pic. # 7 : the finished job , all assembled and a few hours of hand scrubbing the entire bottom of the car to remove all the accumulated oil .

Pic. # 8 : proper Supervision is essential ! Gizmo was right on the job , I think he's studying the Civil Service Manual for advancement.....

Even me dropping tools on the cement doesn't bother him nor wake him up *:x lovestruck

So , that was Thursday's work marathon , my Son had been mentioning smelling burned oil and sure enough there was more than 1/8" of it collected on the top of the muffler , almost 1/4" built up on the head pipe to tranny bracket so it smells much less now .

Onwards , ever onwards .

$100 motor experiment. That is a drag. Who is URO? Noticed they are for sale on Amazon, O'Rielly, etc.

Quality parts? Finding quality condensers for old point type ignitions is a challenge. You would think

Mallory brand would be good. Nope. My Bosch glow plugs? Junk, made in India.

Good luck.

Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Fuse # 8 HVAC Fan

5.20

O.K. then ;

I disconnected the blower fan and tested the fuse again , it didn't blow so I removed the fan , a near new URO brand ($100) one and it spins O.K. , maybe a *touch* more drag than an original one .

I dug out my Siemens brand blower motor removed from a W123 recently and tested it , it ran faster and more powerfully (jumped out of my hand when I energized it) so I installed it then ran some errands to see if it'd blow the 8 ampere fuse ~ it didn't so I guess my brandy new $100 URO blower is junk , free to anyone here if you want it .

Now I'm testing the Kilma II PBU's I found looking through my parts , the one in the car (a rebuilt by Programma) seems to work fine *but* it gets too warm for comfort on it's bottom so I want to test my spares and see if they get hot too ~ so far only tested one , it's temp wheel had poor contact on the cold end and blew warm to hot air , wouldn't close the hot water valve 100 % so I cut it's power and worked the wheel to and fro a bunch , now it seems O.K. .

Turns out more people than I cannot spell , I tried Siemens and then Seimens and there's almost as many items on E-Bay under both spellings *:-B nerd .
