Hi Everyone, Not sure the Mercedes name for the part, but the AUX Air Valve. The air valve which allows extrat air on start up on gassers on the CIS system. Anyway, I've been going over the car a bit when the weather has allowed. I idle is somewhat high, and stays high. I've been looking for air leaks. I check the boot on the horn, fine, two hoses going to the AUX, fine. I pulled the Valve off, (the one that looks like a tomato paste can) and flushed well with brake cleaner. I stuck my finger in, and I can move the small flapper valve to the fully open with my baby finger. I stuck it in the freezer for half hour, too see if much movement.
My question is, I want to do the test again, both freezer, and also heating it up, and then observe an movement. Freezer is easy, but what temp should I heat it to, to see that it closes as it should?? Thanks in advance. Also, if it's fried, does anyone have a used one laying about for an '88, W124 3.0 ? Ed 300E, just passed emissions with flying colours. Not bad for 344,465 kms. ;-) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
