Hi, Curt.
Wonky heater was lack of adequate vacuum at the water valve. Leaky
EGR diaphragm responded to "leak repair" a la BB.
Not rebuilt but deferred maintenance by P.O. I must be too close to
it to see what the problem is. Whilst banging on the brakes, I used
the drive shaft to turn the wheels, and discovered where the slight
shimmy at 80 was coming from, dead and ugly drive joints plus a
completely rotted center joint! One boat payment later, and the
necessary parts arrived from Rusty and viola! new drive assembly with
dragging brakes. After chamfering the outer edges of the shoes, it
works OK. Why? Damnfino! Any germane ideas welcome.

Wow, won't be long until you've totally rebuilt that car huh? Did
you ever figure out your wonky heater?
The rear end on my 190D just absolutely howls. It sounds like I'm
driving an old bus. I found a local Indy (just down the street
actually) that thinks they might be able to properly set up a rear
diff. They say they do a lot of 4x4 trucks with new ratios and
whatnot. I need to look and see if theres a proceedure in the
manual, I could print that and take it to them...
