[MBZ] Bimby / injector bypass hoses

2007-08-27 Thread Wonko the Sane
Bought a length of injector bypass hoses from Rusty a while back -- maybe a
year ago.

Have replaced "factory" hose on both of my diesels (VW & Benz).

EVERY LINE HAS LEAKED and has had to be replaced. I am getting at the most
six months out of a section before it cracks and leaks.

The frustrating part here is that neither car was leaking before the
replacement -- I was doing preventative maintenance.

Now, this isn't Rusty-bashing. It is more of a question. Rusty certainly
doesn't manufacture the hose.

The hoses are cracking at the nipple. Am I doing something wrong in the
install?  I just put the hose ends on and shut the hood. Is there a special
"nipple grease" or something that I am not using? Maybe a bad run of hose at
the factory?

Re: [MBZ] Bimby / injector bypass hoses

2007-08-27 Thread Kevin
How are you removing the old ones? If you have induced any rough edges on
the injector, that will happen (using knives or being too aggressive with
pliers can do that).

The other possibility is you have the wrong hose, but don't expect Rusty sent
you the wrong one.

Re: [MBZ] Bimby / injector bypass hoses

2007-08-27 Thread Peter Frederick
Were the old hoses hard?  I've seen them break like glass with age, and 
if any remains on the nipple, it will simply slice the new hose and 
cause it to "crack".

Clean off the nipples on the injectors -- likely there is some old hose 
material on there.  I put them on by grasping the hose with a pair of 
needle nosed pliers just high enough not to hit the top of the nipple, 
and pushing them straight down.  Too much "stretch" going on seems to 
cause them to simply split.

I take a pair of pliers and grab the old hose along the nipple and 
"crush" it off (without actually touching the nipple).  This pulls all 
the old hose off most of the time.

Check for chunks of stuck on rock hard rubber!

Good idea. I might order another length from Rusty, hit all of the nipples
with light sandpaper, install new hose and see what happens.

I was very gentle when removing the old ones (and the leaking ones). More
wiggle back and forth until it comes off.

Re: [MBZ] Bimby / injector bypass hoses

2007-08-27 Thread Tom Hargrave
The hoses that Rusty & all other MB parts dealers sell are made of fabric
covered natural rubber & they have a shelf life. I suspect that Rusty's
supplier has gotten into some old stock. It's not his fault but he needs to
know about it so that he can send feedback to his supplier.

Thanks,

Had that happen with hose bought from a California dealer several years ago. 
Hose bought from Rusty since then hasn't leaked.  I drive about 25 miles per

occasionally?

Interesting, I did them on my 190D awhile ago (last fall maybe? it was cold 
out...) and they're just fine.

Well, they're not leaking enough that I'd notice anyway.

Did the 240D before I got rid of it and AFAIK they're still fine too. A 
coworker owns that car now and while its had issues that isn't on of them.
