[MBZ] DIY toe in adjustment
Hello all I am getting ready to change the tie rod and center link on my 1985 300SD. Is there a way I can properly adjust the toe in my self? Also my steering wheel is not properly centered. If I pull the centering plug on the gear box and center the gear box should the steering wheel then be centered unless someone really screwed something up? Thanks Mike Piles
Re: [MBZ] DIY toe in adjustment
I was planning on making one, the procedure as I envision it would be to scribe a line down the middle of each of the front tires and measure the distance between the lines on the front of the tire and on the rear of the tire, the difference being the toe in. The only thing tat I am concerned about is that it would be possible to get the measurements correct between the tires but yet have the toe set incorrectly by having the distance from the centerline of the car different on the two sides of the car. For example for discussion sake lets say the total toe in is to be 1/4 inch. Assuming 1/8 inch toe on each side. It would be theoretically possible to set the toe on one side as 0 and on the other side to 1/4 If I'm all wet or if anyone has any experience or ideas please clue me in.

Re: [MBZ] DIY toe in adjustment
If I can get toe adjusted for $35.00 I'll probably do that. I didn't want to pay for a whole alignment It was aligned last year and the parts I'm changing will not affect the Caster/Camber. For a spreader bar I was thinking about using one of those adjustable bars that they use to secure a load in the back of a truck.

Re: [MBZ] Fuel price wackiness
My Jetta is a 2000 model TDI. Inside the filler neck is a button (on the left side as you look in the filler hole) that gets pushed down by the fuel cap when it is put on. The vent is there for fuel expansion. Any way if you press this button while fueling you can put another 1.5 gallons of fuel in +/-. The shoe horn is a figure of speech. I normally fill my Jetta using the vent trick to the point where I have clear fuel all the way to the top of the filler neck. I never have had a problem with fuel expansion.

Also any tips would be appreciated. Thanks Mike Piles Be sure not to overtighten the bolts that attach the pan to the transmission. That's a VERY common mistake and can damage the gasket or pan and sometimes require that they need be replaced. If tightened too much the pan WILL distort and that can cause fluid to leak. You can also CUT the gasket and transmission damage is likely (do NOT ask how I know this). Torque on the pan bolts is 7 Nm (that's only 5.2 lb-ft). If the pan is not distorted that's all the pressure it takes to seal the pan. More is NOT better. The drain plugs (pan and torque converter) have a 14 Nm value (that's only about 10.4 lb-ft).
