Re: [MBZ] 240D Transmission issue

[mguzziridr]

If it has the plug, is it between the TQ and engine or between the TQ and  
transmission?

The transmission look quite straightforward to R&R. How difficult is itto  
line up the trans when installing? Typical or easy or difficult?

It was bang and then nothing. The linkage is moving the arm on the  
transmission.

Re: [MBZ] 12mm hex for OM603 tensioner -- was My '95 E300 project, progress report

May want to check resistance of the battery cables. It may be one of those  
are going bad and not the starter.

Re: [MBZ] Spork plugs (380 SL)

[mguzziridr]

I just read through this thread and wanted to ask a question about the  
valve stem seals. I finally got the WIS program working and now plan to  
attack the valve stem seals on my 1982 380SL (99,990 miles). My questions  
are:
1. Do you use the spring compressor to remove the rocker arms, with the cam  
lobe in the up position?

2. Is there much problem removing and then installing the keepers?
3. Where can I get the appropriate spring compressor at a competitive price  
(cheap)?

4. Is this job as straightforward as the MB sheets seem to make it?
5. What did you use to hold the valves in place, rope in the cylinder or a  
leakdown setup or something else?

Re: [MBZ] 123 trunk lock question

[mguzziridr]

Remove the rear seat, find the vacuum lines that go into the trunk and  
mitivac each one until the lock unlocks. Onee locks and one unlocks.

240D (123) has been sitting in a building for almost a year. I tried to  
unlock the trunk, and the key won't go in all the way. It goes in 1/2-3/4  
of the way. I tried spraying in the lock with PB, but that didn't seem to  
make any difference. I could insert a 3/32 drill rod all the way and I  
could insert a metal wiper reinforcement (about 1/8" wide) all the way.






First I thought an element was stuck, but later thought something was  
stuck inside the lock. After getting the drill rod and flat metal in, I  
am back to thinking something is stuck.






I figured that I would let the PB soak for a while and see what happens.  
The trunk was locked with the key when it was parked.






I don't think there is any way into the trunk without getting the lock to  
work, other than as a last resort, drilling out the lock. Is that correct?







Yes, it is the right key, it works in the ign and in the doors. Thanks
