[MBZ] How much oil in A/C pump?
I have a new Harrison A/C compressor from Rusty ready to go in an '83 240D. A tag says oil must be added but does not say how much or in which port it should be poured. There is no information on whether this is a Harrison R-4 (four cylinder), A-6 (six cylinder), DA-6 (six cylinder), or V-5 (five cylinder) compressor. According to the Haynes A/C manual, the amount of oil that should be added to each type of compressor is varied. The only ports this compressor has other than the hose ports is a plug held in by a snap ring and a brass plug with a green center screwed into the back of the compressor. If someone (Rusty?) can tell me which Harrison compressor this is, I can figure out the amount of oil necessary. Six ounces seems to be the usual amount. I plan to flush the lines, evaporator, and condenser; and replace the dryer. Haynes rule-of-thumb for adding oil to those components after flushing is: Condenser-one ounce Dryer-one ounce evaporator-three ounces Harrison A-6, R-4, or V-5 Two ounces plus the number of ounces drained from the old compressor.

Then again maybe the no-name company should go back to the name of prince. Prince was our German shepherd when I was a kid.

A tag says oil must be added but does not say how much or in which port it should be poured. You have an R4 as you already know. The way the ports are oriented (upside down from GM), you can only put in about 2 ounces before it will run out when you tip the compressor up to install it. So pour a couple ounces in it and at least 2 more ounces into the dryer fitting. the whole system when new would call for about 8 ounces of oil and it is very likely that most of your has been lost due to leakage. With the oil in the compressor, you need to rotate the piston assy and lube the seal. the clutch should face down and what I do is clamp a 14mm deep socket in the vice, set the compressor drive shaft nut on the socket and rotate the compressor a couple turns. It will turn fairly hard but should turn smoothly. by the way, does your compressor have the X embossed into the front bearing cover to denote that the oil feed port is up when installed. How about your old one? If you got it from Rusty, it should be set up for MB engines, which basically mount the R4 upside down from GM applications. There was quite a discussion about whether is important to have the oil feed up but if you have the compressor in hand, I would at least check it's orientation. You can unbolt and rotate the front bearing cover to achieve the correct orientation. Lift the front cover just enough to insure that the O-ring gasket is not sticking to the cover.

Re: [MBZ] How much oil in A/C pump?
I flushed an old Dodge and Mazda using a home made rig similar to the one in the Haynes A/C Manual which is available at Autozone. The flushing solvent is also obtainable there. I didn't have an air compressor then so I used a cheap pump-up garden sprayer to force the solvent through the hoses and parts. I bought tubing and fittings to adapt the garden sprayer hose to the hose I attached to the condensor, evaporator, and hoses.

Allan 1983 300D 1966 230 archer [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have a new Harrison A/C compressor from Rusty ready to go in an '83 240D. A tag says oil must be added but does not say how much or in which port it should be poured. There is no information on whether this is a Harrison R-4 (four cylinder), A-6 (six cylinder), DA-6 (six cylinder), or V-5 (five cylinder) compressor. According to the Haynes A/C manual, the amount of oil that should be added to each type of compressor is varied. The only ports this compressor has other than the hose ports is a plug held in by a snap ring and a brass plug with a green center screwed into the back of the compressor. If someone (Rusty?) can tell me which Harrison compressor this is, I can figure out the amount of oil necessary. Six ounces seems to be the usual amount. I plan to flush the lines, evaporator, and condenser; and replace the dryer. Haynes rule-of-thumb for adding oil to those components after flushing is: Condenser-one ounce Dryer-one ounce evaporator-three ounces Harrison A-6, R-4, or V-5 Two ounces plus the number of ounces drained from the old compressor.

Re: [MBZ] OT: 5kW Chinese Genset

Re: [MBZ] tips on replacing starter (needed)
Hi Steve, I won't write too much, since my experience is only with the 4 cylinder diesel in my 240D, but I have a feeling the job may be similar overall. Basically I learned that the starter, once unbolted (and don't forget to unbolt the wires), should be dropped out the bottom of the car, rather than pulled out the top. After unbolting, the starter needs to be rotated in order to allow it to slip down through the suspension. And it helped a lot to turn the wheels all the way to one way or the other - I forget which way.

Anybody know what job or even group # for this project, and especially any tips or thoughts from personal experience? Steve, For starters, I have no experience with the 126 chassis, so my input is the earlier 116 chassis diesel. Should be similar. You are correct, I just went through my shop manual (78-80 300SD) and no mention of removing the starter. I would start by removing the ground cable, then the air cleaner assy. You can then reach down and remove the big cable nut (13mm) with two wires, and the small cable nut (8mm) with one wire. You almost have to do this by feel but you must remove them first as there will be too much stress if you hang the starter by these cables. Most diesel starters (very heavy) have a small 90 degree bracket that supports the front end of the starter (10mm wrench/socket). You must remove the bracket to allow the starter to move forward. (Note the coolant drain plug in the block, just forward of the starter. If you ever plan to remove this plug (17 or 19mm hex) for coolant service later on, now, when the starter is removed is the time to break this sucker loose and then coat it with antisieze). The two big starter mounting bolts that pass through the bell housing into the starter are internal hex of 10mm, I think. I use about 30 inches of 1/2 extentions and a breaker bar to go in over the back of the transmission and onto these bolts. ONE of our listers claims he can reach down over the fender and break these bolts loose using a stubby hex and a long box wrench! In my prime, I never could imagine doing that! NOTE: Use brake cleaner to rid the hex sockets (and your tool) of any dirt and grease. You must have a good connection to brake these loose and you don't want to round one out. Wear heavy gloves cause when these break loose, you will likely bash into something. Raising up the car enough to swing a half inch drive breaker bar is almost a must for proper leverage. At to the starter, I prefer one with a Bosch solenoid. Good amperage flow is a must with a diesel and some of the after market solenoids are not up to the task. Then compare the length of the new starter with your old one. If you get one that is shorter, send it back, you need all the power that a heavy duty starter can provide. And the bracket will fit. Also, if the starter has a heat shield on it, put it back. Hot soaked starters are prone to hang up until they cool off again. Maybe that is the reason you are changing this starter!? Finally, if your motor mounts have sagged, you may not have room to jockey the starter out of the car. You might have to jack the engine up a little. I have been able to both lift the starter up through the engine compartment, and take it out down below. As one lister mentioned turning the steering full lock will let you clear the idler arm.

Re: [MBZ] PCI-express
Thats a loaded statement... Your other statement that PCI is 100-133MB/s is wrong too, its 100 or 133Mhz I have to check on what the actual maximum is but I know from experience you can do 300MB/s because thats 2 streams of uncompressed 1080i video. According to Wiki (which of course we know is not automatically correct) its 1.06GB/s. Thats between the processor and peripherals so theres presumably considerable overhead. As I say I really worked at it at one point and we never were able to get more than ~320MB/s off SCSI drives even with 2 dual port Ultra 320 controllers with 28 drives. PCIe, according to Wiki is 8GB/s so 8 times the theoretical max of PCI-X. I've heard of people (granted I've never seen it myself) using a PCIe dual channel SCSI controller and 14 drives and getting better than 400MB/s. At that point I think the drives are the slow factor. -Curt Date: Thu, 04 Oct 2007 16:07:37 -0500 From: Luther [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] PCI-express To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15 From what I read, it can handle 16 streams at the same time.

[MBZ] tips on replacing starter (needed)
Steve, I also have not worked on an SD but did change the starter on my '84 300D a couple years ago and my experience was very similar to that elucidated by J. Friesen as my extensions reached back to about the center of the driveshaft in order to get proper fit and torque with a breaker bar. I had also tried a stubby 10mm and reaching from above, but there was no way to get enough torque in the confined space to break things loose. Once these two allen head bolts are disconnected you can remove the starter from below when you've previously turned the steering wheel all the way to the right to avoid things. Good luck, my garage got quite colorful when I did this job. G. M.

I have a 82 300SD, and what Brian and Jim say jibes with my memory. Getting the car up off the ground, having a long extension and perhaps a breaker bar are essential, as is cleaning out the internal hex bolts. Other than that, no big deal.

Re: [MBZ] '77 280SEL
Well, its going to suck as much, if not more, gas than a 450SEL yet have quite a bit less power. Unleess this car is perfect, with no rust, good paint, good interior, and everything worked it might be worth that much. Other wise its worth $500 or less.

Re: [MBZ] '77 280SEL
The 280 is a double overhead cam 6 cylinder with a hemispherical combustion chamber. Mercedes went to the design to overcome the loss in horsepower caused by the Federal Government emission regulations drop in compression ratio. I've owned three, one 1975 carbureted and 2 1979 FI models. The engines run well but they suffer from oil leaks around the cam carrier the leaks are a royal pain to correct, involving the removal of the upper, then the cam lower carrier to replace the gasket between the lower carrier and the head. This also involves removing the gears from the front of the cams before pulling the lower carrier. Fortunately, you just tie the chain to the gears with wire ties everything lines back up during re-assembly. Also, both of mine needed at least mid-grade gas to not diesel when turned off. I believe that overall, they are good engines.

In my experience many wrenches dislike that motor, most of all in North American form. Having driven one in Euro spec (with a stick in a 116, no less) I can attest to its being really nice in the Old World spec. No matter what the vendor says about the body condition, be scrupulous when looking at a 116. They rot, not as bad as the 108s, but once it starts it can gallop (depending on where the car is from, of course). If you want a 116 gasser there really is no such thing as a fuel-efficient option. If this car is the real deal (clued-in owner, sheaf of bills from a decent shop, etc.) then by all means go for it. I love the 116, and I miss mine. -- Mac Steve MacSween Aylmer, Quebec (Canada) Mercedes: '82 300sd / '82 240d (x2) / '60 220s ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Yes, Craig, I was thinking I should restate my instruction to remove the ground cable, which in my mind is the negative ground cable at the battery. In addition, do not forget to replace the engine to frame grounding cable, which often uses one of the starter bolts at the engine end. You can smoke a lot of small wires trying to start the engine without this connecting cable, which may or may not use the starter bolt. NOTE: A little electrical 101--you always disconnect the negative cable first because it is a chassis ground and should your wrench contact the metal of the chassis while touching the negative bolt, no sparks will occur. Many a wrench has been sacrificed to the Gods of Potential Energy by swinging on the positive bolt first!
