Re: [MBZ] Does This Look Right?
The correct tire shop repair is to plug the hole, trim the plug inside the tire and install a reinforced patch over the plug and injury, thus ensuring an airtight seal that will last the life of the tire. This repair required dismount , repair, remount and rebalance... I can presume all that was done in good order since a tire shop did it. [name brand shop]?

Re: [MBZ] Does This Look Right?
It’s probably a plug patch. It has a patch inside with a plug that protrudes out they the hole. Looks good.

Re: [MBZ] Does This Look Right?
They’re really plugs, not patches. They look OK but I would expect there to be more goop around them. -D > On Sep 14, 2020, at 12:24 PM, Bob Rentfro via Mercedes > wrote: > > They just patched the two driver’s side tires on the Passat.

Originally the "square" Bosch lights were fitted only to the 280s (and maybe the lesser model coupes?), but starting in about 1983, the the "round" Hella lights were dropped completely and all 123s were equipped with the Bosch lights. The Bosch lights are at least theoretically superior as they have a larger reflector area, but the Hellas do project a better fog beam.

I have the full size Euros on my W123 and my W124. Those are definitely Euro lights as supplied from the factory. A neighbour down the road has them on his 230. Jeff Zedic Toronto 87 300TD 83 300D
Re: [MBZ] Does this look right?
The foggies are round but it does somehow look different to normal euro lights, they could be some sort of aftermarket manufacture or just the angle the pictures where taken at. http://www.mercedes-damien.com/historique/modeles%20sous%20menu/W123/optionsW123.htm Hendrik with euro lights - Original Message - From: "Bob Rentfro" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2006 10:12 AM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Does this look right?
