Re: [MBZ] ACC servo or monovalve?

Coupes and wagons got the turbo first too, didn't they?

Yes, that's true.  I think that this one's an early '81 since the 6 digit 
chassis number begins with two zero's (I can't remember the whole thing 
right off hand).  It doesn't have a turbo though.

I was thinking about something I observed yesterday with my 1981 
300CD.  It

has the horizontal push button unit, and it doesn't have the servo.  I
haven't poked around enough to find out if it's been taken out or if it
wasn't equipped with one originally.


Though I've talked about it, I don't know of anyone who has ever swapped
out the Type II system for a Type III.  You have an early Type III is 
all,

I'm sure.  Coupes and wagons got the turbo first too, didn't they?

(Type I is the manual system, I guess.)

Regardless, enjoy!

[MBZ] ACC servo or monovalve?

2006-04-22 Thread kevin kraly

Hello everyone.

I was thinking about something I observed yesterday with my 1981 300CD.  It 
has the horizontal push button unit, and it doesn't have the servo.  I 
haven't poked around enough to find out if it's been taken out or if it 
wasn't equipped with one originally.  I'll know a lot more on Sunday when I 
can poke around to my heart's content once it's in my garage.  Were there 
any late '81's that had the later style type II? ACC system with the 
monovalve?
