Re: [MBZ] Craigslist archive?

[SteveB]

I set up a Google Voive phone number for Craigslist. It allows me to block
anyone that I do not want to hear from anymore. I have not had to block
anyone but it's a nice option as well as I get text messages at my regular
phone, where the number is forwarded to, and a voice mailbox I can check on
the computer. Phone listings move faster for me.

Re: [MBZ] sheared off bolt in knuckle

[SteveB]

I did the exact same thing on My 2003 Outback about 3 weeks ago but I did
not use the impact, I did it with the breaker bar. The car is from Chicago
so I attributed it to  corrosion and low grade asian materials. I drilled
and tapped and replaced the bolt. Were you R & R'ing the CV?

Re: [MBZ] 240D Transmission issue

I am in Atlanta now with the 240D. Everything went perfect until I got to
the hotel where we are staying for the ball game. I shut the car off and
came back out after registering and the car was completely dead. Nothing was
powering on. It turns out I missed tightning one nut. The one on the battery
cable. It was about 1.1/2" from  the battery. I stuck it on and the car
started right up. I had to laugh.

Re: [MBZ] 240D Transmission issue

[SteveB]

I am getting ready to install the replacement transmission on my 240D.
Anyone replace the torque converter seals on these that can offer any tips
on getting the old one out? It looks fairly simple but would like any
suggestions you may have. Once that is replaced I will reinstall the tranny.
I plan to put in regular trans fluid to intitally start it up, run it for a
couple of minutes or less and then drain the mixed old/new fluid and replace
the filter and fluid with mobil synthetic.

Re: [MBZ] 240D Transmission issue

[SteveB]

Interesting turn tonight on both my cars. I talked to Don Plowman, the
previous owner of my 1987 300D. He replaced the engine and did the trap
oxydizer recall on the car. It was his wife's daily driver. He is the senior
mechanic for Hendricks Mercedes here in Charlotte. He has worked there for
32 years. We first talked about the turbo that blew on the '87, and then the
240D. After we got past the "how much do you want for the car", we discussed
the transmission issue. Tomorrow I am pulling the trans pump. It sound quite
simple and it would explain what happened. with the car. I will follow up
tomorrow. If I didn't get up at 4:10 every morning, I would be out there now
working on it. The turbo will have to wait for the weekend as he has me
looking for a relay issue.

Re: [MBZ] 240D Transmission issue

[SteveB]

Well I sold my SL yesterday, and put the 240D into the garage, so I will
drop it tonight. I can't find any information on the transmission in my
electronic Benz manual, so if anyone knows the .pdf document name, I could
use it. 3

Thanks,

Steve

[MBZ] 87 300 D turbo troubleshooting

[SteveB]

Today on my way back from looking at a 380 engine for my SL, my turbo quite
working on my car. I had started out from about 10 mph when I accelerated
aggresively and the car gave a nice black cloud of smoke, and developed a
high pitch whine wheneevr the turbo was suppose to be working. I drove it
home about 30 miles  with no boost. It runs fine, just no boost,  temp
normal, oil pressure normal. I turned 392,000 miles on the car today, but
the turbo is only suppose to have 100,000 miles on it per the previous
owner.

What do I do to trouble shoot the issue and determine what I need to R&R?

The W123 manuals are available for free download on thepiratebay.org. Type
in w123 and they come up. You will need a bit torrent software to download
it.

Re: [MBZ] looking at '87 300D

[SteveB]

My 87 300D has the 17 head, with 190,000 on the motor and 390,000 on the
chassis. Runs great, average around 25 mpg driving fast, but I have seen 30
mpg driving it at the speed limit. Paid $1050.00 for it 3 years ago but had
to repair where it was rear ended prior to my owning it. I had offered $1000
to his asking $1750 on Craigslist, but he said no he would wait to see what
he got on Ebay. I bought it off Ebay for the $1050.00.

Should hit 400,000 in 39 weeks or less.

Re: [MBZ] fuel leak

My tank vent was plugged and the tank collapsed, causing the stress crack
that started leaking. May be something to look at.

Re: [MBZ] fuel leak

[SteveB]

I used some 2 part epoxy sold for fuel tanks, on my 240D and it had held for
the last 2 years. It was on a crack on a flat surface and not a corner so if
it's the corner it may or may not work. Is there a strong vacuum on the tank
cap when you fill it from near empty?

Re: [MBZ] OM603: Bubbles in Expansion Tank... Cracked head?

Is there a chance you did not loose any antifreeze, but it went into
the overflow chamber located inside the fender well? There is a tube that
goes from the plastic fill tank toward the battery and then down to this
chamber.

1987 300d coninues to run when I turn it off. There is plenty of vacuum and

this vacuum shutoff adjustable, or is there a diaphram I need to replace?
