Subject: [MBZ] Mobil 1 Trans Fluid/progress report
Today I stopped at Advance Auto Parts and Wally-World ISO M1 Trans
fluid. I found none. I'm sure I bought it at Advance before but 2
different stores had no stock.
Anyone aware of where it can be had? Its not an emergency but sometime
soon I would like to change the fluid over to Mobil 1 as well as the
filter. Same goes for PS and filter.
I have but a couple of minor tasks to complete to bring my new 190D
Euro up to speed as far as maintenance goes. So far, I have replaced
all 4 tires with Bridgestones, replaced shocks and struts with
Bilsteins, new Sway bar links (I believe I caused one to break by not
supporting trailing arm when changing rear shocks), replaced master
cylinder and all brake hoses(DOT 3 was used some time in the past and
dissolved plenty of rubber), rebuilt all 4 calipers, new pads all
around, Euro lights and clear corner lights, CHANGED ALL THE
FUSES(Marshall), Mobil 1 15-50 and filter, serpentine belt,tensioner
and shock, complete paint job, all new outside bulbs, new blower and AC
switch knobs (big job),replaced articulating single wiper with a used
set-up, valve cover gasket, rubber connectors for EGR pipe, fuel and
air filters, all rubber fuel lines.
Things left to do: Trans fluid and filter, PS fluid and filter, wiper
motor seems weak(or I have another problem), replace Hirschmann antenna
circuit board(it is a Euro and the circuit boards are different) the
only parts I am lacking are M 1 trans fluid, the circuit board and
possibly wiper motor.
This is a nice example of a 201 190D 2.5na Euro w/62,000mi. As it
sits, I have $2,600 into it including purchase price($1,200) and all
above mentioned parts and repairs. I expect to spend less than $200
additional to cover repairs yet to be completed and get at least 10
years service out of it. Unless somebody really wants it for $5,000.
