Mac, Performance Products catalog shows an Idle control cable that seems to have washer. Can't tell if that's it or not. Whole thing is 40.00 USD. www.PerformanceProducts4Benz.com
Dwight Giles, Jr. 1979 240D auto, 243K+ miles Wickford RI -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve MacSween Sent: Friday, August 26, 2005 9:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [MBZ] 240d throttle linkage part @ firewall Both my newly acquired 240Ds are 1982s, and have the 'late' version of the gizmo where the throttle linkage passes through the firewall, more or less a rubber bushing with a plastic/nylon inner fitting, inside a metal frame. (Earlier cars seem to have a somewhat simpler setup.) Both have the same problem, the inner plastic piece has broken and flops around freely, limiting throttle movement to about 1/3 what it ought to be (not a good thing on an OM616!). My question is, I don't see a corresponding part, at the on-line catalogue sites. The only decent dealer around here is a long drive away, and unless I go there and look over the parts fiches in person at the counter, with the parts guy, I don't rate highly my chances of getting the right item. They don't break out the w123 stuff much around here, anymore. So, what is this thing called, and how much do I need to order (is it only sold as the entire assembly, or is it broken down into components)?
