Hi, list!
My 300d (76, w115) started making a clanging noise when I shut it down, and some odd ones when changing speed. A little investigating with the hood up and the emergency stop and throttle cable pointed to the fan. The fan moves a bit on the shaft (which I'm 99% sure it shouldn't), as if it was somehow loose (as in internally to the fan hub). Stopping it a few times has me certain that the fan is making the noise. So, I'm thinking this means it's replacement fan time ('cause I can just imagine the fan totally failing while I'm driving and falling off... and no possible good could come of that.) Questions: A) Is this repairable somehow? One can hope. B) Is a used fan likely to die soon the same way, or is that reasonable as a way to go? If B, does Kaleb (and alternatively anyone else, if he doesn't) have one lying around, and does anyone have useful hints for the replacement? Thanks Stuart S. (PS. Glad to hear you're recovering, Rusty!) _______________________________________ 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
