Re: [MBZ] 1985 300SD odometer repair - follow up
Odometer gear follow up: (Referenced to odometergears.com/mercedes.html E1,E2,E3) On my unit upon removal the E1 gear was trashed, 3 pieces, crumbs and the brass insert. The E2 and E3 gear looked fine, however after I tried to clean the other 2 gears the E3 gear crumbled, I went Obsessive Compulsive on it and glued it back together and like I previously indicated it is currently working. On my unit the E1 and E3 gears were made of the light nylon colored stuff and the E2 gear is black (this is in contrast to the pictures on the web site where the E3 gear is black. ) I suspect that the light colored stuff is the root cause of the failure ( it got old). My E2 gear looks real good however at this point I am replacing the E2 and E3, I have all ready replaced the E1 gear. Speaking of the E1 gear, from the web site: The E1 gear will press on with your thumb. Take a pair of wire/side cutters and squeeze firmly on the brass fitting on the drive shaft. It should slide right off. This gear will be a press fit over the plain shaft. Well I was unable to get the gear to push off, I became real concerned of the force I was applying and that other plastic could break. I used a 6 pair of Klien diagonal cutters and cracked off the brass insert kind of like what a nut splitter would do. The E1 gear did press on at this point with out major fuss but this does require some care.

Re: [MBZ] 1985 300SD Odometer Repair
George, The odometer can be fixed with super glue. First push out the instrument cluster by reaching up behind the dash. Remove the speedometer/odometer unit from the cluster. You will find that the gray metal toothed gear is slipping on the odometer shaft. To repair, warm the odometer under a lamp and using a very thin xacto blade or similar tool, carefully apply a couple small drops of liquid (not gel) superglue on the shaft precisely where it meets the gear. It's a tight fit but it can be done. Let cool and harden. Keep the gear moving a tiny bit if it wants to adhere to the housing. Reassemble cluster and install. I have performed this procedure on a couple of my cars and it has worked perfectly in both cases without any problems.

I guess given enough saw blades and glue, but why? The W123 oil pressure gauge is mechanical. To use the W126 electric oil pressure sensor you have to change oil filter housing. Found this out trying to put a W123 OM617 in a W126. W126 speedometer is electric, W123 is mechanical.

Re: [MBZ] 1985 300SD Odometer Repair
You need new gears which are easy to install yourself www.odometergears.com To remove instrument cluster: #1 get metal coat hanger #2 cut two straight pieces about 6 long #3 put a 90 degree bend in each about 1/4 inch up from one end making an L #4 put one L on left side of cluster one on right. Push the small part of L inbetween cluster and dash. Twist each one such L is pointing towards center of cluster. #5 Pull. Cluster comes out and you can disconnect stuff on back. Then side out from behind steering wheel. Not that I found that for all the cars I have played with you can just grab instrument cluster by hand, no metal hooks or L things, and just pull out.

Re: [MBZ] 1985 300SD Odometer Repair
George... Trampas has it right but BTDT and a couple of cautions -Number the stuff you disconnect, so you will know where to put it back. Particularly, electrical connects. - To disconnect oil pressure line, be gentle and find some small hands if you can. I think it is 2 10mm open end wrenches. One to hold the fitting on cluster and the other to turn flare nut. - Cluster should slide out to the right. between steering wheel and dash.. AND most of all... While cluster is out and oil pressure line is disconnected DON'T start the engine!!! Good luck. and Take Care, Chuck Phoenix AZ On Feb 9, 2006, at 1:47 PM, Trampas wrote: You need new gears which are easy to install yourself www.odometergears.com To remove instrument cluster: #1 get metal coat hanger #2 cut two straight pieces about 6 long #3 put a 90 degree bend in each about 1/4 inch up from one end making an L #4 put one L on left side of cluster one on right.

George Larribeau I'll bet you reset it while you were moving. Don't do that anymore. www.odometergears.com$25 any gear. You can make hooks out of wire hanger but you should be able to remove lower panel and wiggle a couple of fingers behind the IC push it out, no need to remove wheel. Unplug your wires and pull out the rest of the way. No oil pressure line on your model. The speedo repair isn't too bad to do, don't go getting sneaky and knocking miles off while you're in there.

The 300SD uses electric oil pressure sensor, thus there is no oil pressure line.
