Good folks
Enough lurking. I've got a problem going away back years, for which
I still have no solution.
Long years ago, the exhaust system on my W123 300TD started
hammering under the tailgate when the engine was idling. Nothing had
been touched. It just started one day and has never stopped. The
tailpipe is now a blur at idle. I replaced all the rubber rings with
new MB parts but that made no difference. Nor did replacing the
engine mounts.
Since then, my Indy has tried rebalancing the system (he has the
hoist, you see) so that it hangs evenly from front to rear. No joy.
The only fix is to keep the revs high at idle, which is not natural
and uses heaps of diesel.
My theory is that the muffler is chokka with soot - 350,000 km's
worth - and therefore seriously heavier than it should be.
Anyone wise about this?
Anyone know what a new system from manifold to tail-pipe should
weigh? One day I'll get so fed-up I'll weigh mine.
Cheers
