Re: [MBZ] '87 190D blinker and blower problems
Marshall, Zoltan and Jim et al Thanks for your input. I took the hazard switch out and apart. I used verv fine grid sandpaper to clean and smoothen the contacts. However, the hazard still works fine, the blinker still does not. High beam and whiper are fine too. Any suggestions how to get the blinker back on track?

Anyway - I have this puzzle with my OM617.912 in my Gwagon - There is light ticking noise emanating from the exhaust pipe exit , and about engine speed( I suspect when one cyl fires ) . When loosening one fuel line at a time it appears that #2 cyl is not contributing much ( speed drop and engine note does not change much ) however when I did a compression test results ( engine hot ) are as follows - #1 is very low at 9 bar and all others are 16 - 18 bar. Oil consumption is in spec at 1 l/1000km. The compression test indicates that there is an issue with Cyl # 1 yes the fuel line removal test indicates #2 is faulty. Engine starts easily when cold , no so well when hot without glowing ( 3 -4 engine revolutions before is starts ) Any ideas what could be going on? Could there be a crack between #1 and #2 cyl ? Peter, Hard starting when hot was the signal on a couple of my diesels that the ring sealing was gone. Your low compression readings are just barely acceptable on 3 cylinders and the #1 is just plain bad. Mine would start cold fairly well but just as you describe, very hard to start hot, and required glowing, too. Don't go anywhere without a good spare battery!

[MBZ] 190D blinker and blower problems
First of all thanks to everyone helping with our B2 piston problem on our 81 300SD the other day. The fix was fairly easy but the gasket that holds the bushing in place. Thats a real bitch to get out without scratching the surface!! However, our 87 190D 2.5 5 cylinder is giving us some issues now. Please let me try to describe the symptoms of the two mayor problems: Issues with the blower: Getting in the car, turning the key and glowing the diesel, the fan comes on and blows. Then, turning the key further to get the starter going (and actually starting the engine) the blower goes off and usually stays off all the time. Except sometimes, when it comes on for a split second to blow hard and turn off again. This tends to happen more likely in the wintertime (when this feature is quite needed). In the dry season, it sometimes stays on longer. But still .. Issues with the blinker: First I want to mention that you cannot hear the blinker relay at all when they actually work (unlike our 300SD). Then sometimes, only the right side works and the left not at all - and right now nothing works - no blinker what so ever. Sometimes on a very rare but lucky day, the blinker actually works - next day: nada... I changed the multifunction relay at the very end of the fusebox with a used one from PYP but the symptoms persists to be annoying (especially the blinker) A new multirelay is about 150 bucks as is the new blinker/ multifunction switch. Hope anyone has some knowledge about these 190D electrical stuff and can help us out. Thanks all Daniel - Get amazing travel prices for air and hotel in one click on Yahoo!

[MBZ] B2 Piston repair? --- Transmission failing
Hello List I send the follwing Email earlier to a different list and got a kind answer from Larry T. who has a good guess about the problem my 81 300SD is facing. He suggested to join this list and bother you guys with my tech problem.. So here we are. Any reply is greatly appreciated So my good old 81 300SD decided to give us serious trouble: Going shopping and entering the parking lot, we had to stop and then, still in D for drive the tranny decided that forward is no more. So, the tranny clicks still, when I put in in D, L or S but nothing happend except the engine revs up. It wants to go reverse though, no problem this way However now it sits in the rain on the paking lot and won't move. The tranny recently got a new filter and fluid and it ran much smoother after that. and now. Any ideas what went wrong? Anybody had the same experience and what the heck can I do about it. Thanks for all answeres Daniel Larry T. wrote: There's a piston in the transmission called the B2 -- it fails and you get what you got! I suggest you join us on the Diesel list - I'm not very familiar with the B2 problem except the symptoms - but there are many on the Diesel list who can describe the fix - you maybe able to fix it yourself!
