Re: [MBZ] Couple Questions

I had exactly the same sort of noise on my 240D before new front wheel 
bearings. Ride in the passenger seat (get somebody else to drive...) and see if 
you can feel it with your feet.

All,
   
  Any ideas on these would help:
   
  1.  The 82 300CD has a developed a nasty deep loud growly rumble 
during tight RH turns, worse when power is applied.  Sound emanates from 
tranny area.  No noise with LH turns.  Is it differential, rear bearings, 
front bearings, flex joints...???  And the for the wiseguys on the list 
(you know who you are),  I refuse to drive to work with LH turns only!!
   
  2.  The 85 300CD A/C compressor won't turn on.  I tried the ACC from 
the 82 which works ok but it had no effect.  What other switches should 
be checked?  The A/C previously worked fine.
   
  Thanks,

Well, let's see. The oil pump picks up oil from the pan and forces it
through the oil filter and then it goes to the oil-needing parts on the
engine. So, one side of the oil filter goes to the engine and the other
side to the pump. When you do pour oil into the filter housing, it
couldn't go into the oil-needing parts of the engine, since there's too
much restriction. That leaves the oil pump, behind which is the pickup and
the pan.

Yup, seems to me that pouring in the filter housing will flood the pump
with oil.

I've had this happen with bad motor mounts.  If it also gets loud and
rumbly when you shift into reverse, take a look at the left motor
mount.  It's  probably collapsed.

Sounds can telegraph surprisingly far.  It could also be bad motor 
and/or

tranny mounts allowing the drivetrain elements to hard-contact the body
under turning stress.  Or the exhaust system.  You could go under and
yank hard on the tail of the tranny and related items to see if there
was unwarranted movement.  I'd vote for bad mounts, or a bad half-axle
or wheel bearing.  The noise alone would probably tell the experienced
diagnostician what it was, if he could hear it personally.

  2.  The 85 300CD A/C compressor won't turn on.  I tried the ACC from 
the 82 which works ok but it had no effect.  What other switches 
should be checked?  The A/C previously worked fine.


The low-pressure safety switch on the drier?  How's the state of charge?
A recent leak can deplete the charge in a hurry.

Does the Compressor clutch engage with 12v applied directly to it?

Good idea, Luther.  I should have thought of that.  Will do next time I am
near that store (probably within the next week).
