[MBZ] Porsche 916
Saw one in California in 1980, an aquaintance knew someone who got one stored in a barn for years, sold as a 914, cheap. Same as a 914 except for the 916 badge and the two extra cylinders, not visible from outside. Obviously a clone, since the only one (of the 12 built) to come to the US first went to Brumos Porsche in Florida and is now owned by Automobile Atlanta. Looks like a 914 to the uninitiated but aside from the body shell is a different car. Powered by a mechanical injection 911S engine. Welded on steel roof. Fender flares. Full leather interior. Seven inch wide wheels. Fiberglass front and rear bumpers. Not a 914-6 which was a production car. RLE
Re: [MBZ] Ebay 240D
I would love to have the auxiliary tank in the trunk. Wouldn't keep it full all of the time but would be nice on occasion to fill when the price was right and also to go where ever and not worry about looking for fuel. A win win situation most of the time. Lose a bit of trunk space but that would be ok.

Re: [MBZ] Project 240D in Oregon
Oh man! What am I in for with this old slushy 240D? An exercise in patience, I'd say. Can anybody tell me what the normal driving/shifting characteristics of this 79 240D would be? It seems reluctant to downshift on its own which doesn't help matters any. (And rarely [if ever] starts out in 1 unless the lever is in L.) But the linkage is already pulling as hard on the tranny's lever as will let the throttle go to full stop. -- Jim

I know, I know they're designed for somewhat different purposes, but still, the very loose steering bugs the crap out of me. Jumping in the 900 after driving the 240 for so long resulted in over revving and over steering. I understand the steering gear can be tightened some via an adjusting nut?

[MBZ] Brake Sway Bar
If it's your 126, I had the same thing happen. My indy designed and had machined a collar that went over the end of the sway bar and accepted the stock MBZ bushings and nut. Collar held on with six set screws and JB Weld. Indy did it on his own 126 and it was fine for 7 months when he did mine. Mine's been fine since, about 2 months. Guy had an extra made when he did mine; might sell it to you, but be warned that you have to cut, mark, and install VERY accurately, and also that the sway bar is the hardest steel he'd ever cut--said it took an hour and a half with a cutting wheel to get through it. Can't cut it with a torch because you ruin the temper. The indy is: Doug (owner) Imported Cars, Ltd. Ames, Iowa 515/296-2723 Cost for the whole job to me was ca. $450 Dan Which car? 126 is total PITA. 123 Not too bad. I have no clue about 201 or 124 chassis. IIRC someone here had one break on a 300sd and had their indy attempt a repair. I have no clue how well it is holding up. Under NO circumstances, continue to drive the car.

to
keep it coming - but it stops and will not come any further. I didn;t try
to just pull it out - the motor was pushing the mast up and I tried to

Perhaps it comes out from the bottom?

You undo the nut first, then pull gently on it as it's coming up.
It'll try to overshoot and that's what gets it the rest of the way
out. You don't just pull it out forcibly.
When installing you start it down and feed it the tail. When it stops
(not all the way in most likely) you put in the nut then cycle it up
and down again and you're done.

Jim, Don't know from practical experience, but I've talked to a local MB private specialist in the past about certain vehicles I have been interested in and how he felt about them. Apparently there are a couple, several?, transmissions that do that in MB's past. They were designed to start out in 2nd, and L/1st was only for hard pulls from stop, so the driver would have to know that's how he wanted to start and downshift manually (in an automatic) to get to 1st . this *may* be how this transmission works. In fact, at the time I thought it was so weird I googled it and found some info on how to change that characteristic. That might be the google I used to find this list ... odd circle of events.

Re: [MBZ] another cheap MB W115 possibility
Both being 115 you will be happy to have that donor car. Scavenge the check straps, glass, all sorts of bits, and then go to town getting the 240 running really well. I suspect that after 30 years the IP just needs to be replaced. The seller seems to have done a poor job doing it right. I would not pay much over $250 for a 115 that does not stay running. The 240 is a step up in complexity from Gump. The difference is not so great but the shop manual is really handy in getting those diffs sorted out.

However, I think I may have found a car that can benefit from some donor parts. It's a 1974 240D auto. It's straight and rust free, original paint that seems like it'll buff out ok, interior better than my 220D, but there's something going on with the IP. The car will start up fine with some diesel in the intake, but it either isn't delivering enough fuel to the injectors or not all of the delivery valves are pumping. I don't really believe his story that it was rebuilt but still isn't right (that's a lot of money to throw away). The guy wants to know what it's worth to me. I paid $100 for the one I have now that doesn't even run with diesel poured down its snout where this one does. This one also has the added bonuses of euro headlights, an in-trunk auxiliary fuel tank and a power sunroof as well as AC and power steering. So, what do y'all think that this one is worth considering that my IP can fix the problem or that the original IP can be made to work? I really do like the W115 body style, and since I don't have a lot of money to buy one that's in top shape, I want to find one cheap enough but still worth putting some sweat equity into it as Jim Cathey seems to be resourceful enough to do.

[MBZ] Tandem pump TD and TE
My TD (87) and TE (88) both have Vickers Type 119 tandem pumps. I set out to rebuild both, as the TD pump is leaking and the TE does not have working hydraulic suspension when i got it. I took out he TE pump and disassembled it without special tools. There are 4 bolts holding the pump together. (13mm wrench) The rear pump is PS and it is a vane pump. Be very careful to keep all the canes in the impeller as you disassemble. If a vane does come out,the worn part of one face should be on the counterclockwise side as installed, and out of the impeller. The impeller is held on by a circlip. Once the circlip is out, the impeller will come off the shaft and the bottom plate can be removed. The front pump is the suspension pump, and it has 4 piston pumps driven by a cam. To disassemble, remove each pump. I used two 3/16 pin punches and a screwdriver between them to turn each pump out. The pump has a brass body. Repeat for eeach of the 4 pumps. Be careful not to loose the piston and spring as you remove each pump. There is a roll pin holding the shaft seal retainer in the housing. Remove the roll pin with a 3/32 pin punch. The shaft assembly will now come out. Disassemble and pay attention to which side is up as you take the pieces out. There is another roll pin to remove the cam. it is directional: there is a small hole on the upper side, or rear facing as installed in the car. You are now ready to remove the seal and replace the parts in the kit. I don't have the kit yet, so I can't talk about the installation/reassembly yet. More to follow.

Re: [MBZ] Tightness
Okay, I know Marshall feels adamant about not having different tires on the front than on the rear of the car.

Re: [MBZ] Tightness
Ah. I get the picture. I was walking away from the computer when this thought hit me: If equal traction in the tires - frnt. vs. rear - is critical, then those with big fat tires in the rear and skinnier ones in the front must be really putting themselves at risk. Brian On 3/6/06, Peter Frederick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Each tire type has different rubber, and hence different friction characteristics. These days, I don't think you could find a non-radial tire less than 25 years old, so that's not a problem (radial/bias belt tire mixes can be lethal), but the difference in adhesion to the road can be quite dramatic. Having one tire track better than the other leads to unstable handling, and in an emergency, you can loose control. The best possible mismatch is for one pair on the front and one pair on the rear. That said, I've driven any number of cars with mismatched tires, but believe me, a full set makes a big difference!

Different muffler and tailpipe. And of course the number on the rear. And no one would ever confuse the clatter of a VW engine for the sound of a 911 engine, even if it was a lowly T. RLE

Re: [MBZ] another cheap MB W115 possibility
Is it the same as a W123 jack? I have one that's no longer of any use to me, since rust has gotten to the jack points of my car in a serious way. I carry a 2.5-ton scissor jack instead. I think so. Price? (And I'll check our 123 jack in our 115 to be sure.) -- Jim
Re: [MBZ] another cheap MB W115 possibility
let him know that when he comes to his senses, you are interested. I told him to keep me in mind when he's ready to sell it at a reasonable price. Meanwhile, I think that I'll be hunting for another W115 of any flavor, possibly even a 300D if I'm lucky enough to find one of those because there are only two model years to pick from and fewer and fewer every day!

Re: [MBZ] Tightness
Zoltan Finks wrote: Ah. I get the picture. I was walking away from the computer when this thought hit me: If equal traction in the tires - frnt. vs. rear - is critical, then those with big fat tires in the rear and skinnier ones in the front must be really putting themselves at risk. That's not a terrible situation because it tends to encourage understeer, which most people find controllable. When you can get yourself in trouble is when you have worse traction in back -- for example, two new tires in front and two relatively bald ones in the back, on a wet road. Then you're likely to get ambushed in a corner.

Apparently there are a couple, several?, transmissions that do that in MB's past. They were designed to start out in 2nd, and L/1st was only for hard pulls from stop, so the driver would have to know that's how he wanted to start and downshift manually (in an automatic) to get to 1st . this *may* be how this transmission works.

[MBZ] 1983 300D - Glow Plug Light Problem
Good Morning, On my way to work this morning I had a problem starting my car and noticed the glow plug light did not come on. I turned the key on and off several times and the glow plug light came on every 3rd or 4th time. The car finally started and I made it to work on time. I never had any issues like this before.

Re: [MBZ] 1983 300D - Glow Plug Light Problem
Check the glow plugs first. That's just about exactly what mine did for a bit before I checked them and at that time I only had 1 out of the 5 working. Just pop a multimeter at the end of the glow plug (where the wire attaches and to a ground) and look for 1 ohm. If it's much more, it's probably dead.

Thanks for all the input. Thanks for that useful link, Chuck. From what I read last night it seems little Gertie's outlook is quite dim. I reckon Wednesday will be the day when the labs come back.

Re: [MBZ] Thump stops when braking
I'd be wondering about a CV joint... In my experience a warped rotor will be MOST noticed when braking, not going away...

Re: [MBZ] 1983 300D - Glow Plug Light Problem
Check the glow plugs first. That's just about exactly what mine did for a bit before I checked them and at that time I only had 1 out of the 5 working. Just pop a multimeter at the end of the glow plug (where the wire attaches and to a ground) and look for 1 ohm. If it's much more, it's probably dead. Better is to pull the connector off of the GP relay and measure each pin to ground there. 0.6 ohms is the value. While it's still plugged in all but one of them are wired in parallel and will tend to mask each other, most meters aren't that good at measuring low ohms like that. Plus this will also detect harness faults. -- Jim

Re: [MBZ] Delvac antifreeze
OK, but how much does a gallon of the stuff cost? Even if it's $30/gallon, if I only have to change my antifreeze once every 5 years it becomes worth it. Of course, what's the point of such long-life coolant if it outlasts the radiator hoses? On 3/7/06, Harry Watkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This may be the next good thing.
