Hi all! I wanted to ask a quick question for the group mind before I started google-digging.
I think it's been answered before here, or at least I have a vague memory of the topic from a year or so back... I have a '84 300d (turbo) and I have let her sit for the last two years. Last week I fired her up, (and she started up no problems) let her warm up for about 15-20 minutes and then proceeded to drive her lightly each day since then. I have noticed a few things I need to fix starting with new injectors and fule lines/filters as there seems to be a slight "rattle" from somewhere up there and I figure new injectors is a great place to start.. and some other minor things, but there is one new noise that I can't place. So, when I hit about 20 mph I will start to hear a slight ticking from what appears to be behind the glove box. As I drive faster the clicking reves up and gets loader and faster in synch with the engine. When I idle back down to about 20, it slows down and goes away. Does anyone know what this could be? Is there a vacuum pump up inside the dash or on the other side of the firewall? ( I seem to remember that there may be) Could it be door lock pump or some such up in there? I think I have some slight vacuum leaks in general as she seem to shift a bit hard and the door locks are slow.... it may be the/this pump???? Anyway, any thoughts would be appreciated. -hue- Lungren: '71 280 SEL Helgra: '84 300td Olfenhiganster: '68 190 _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
