Re: [MBZ] Part number for 617.912 engine shocks - Bellvilles
Barry Thanks for your helpful reply. Now that you mention it, I do believe my fixer saying a long time ago that the struts functioned exactly as you say. Yes, all the engine mounts have been renewed very recently. But we haven't ever looked at the Bellville washers. To my knowledge (18 years of owning this glorious wagon), the header pipe has never been detached. Could the washers malfunction anyway? Or maybe, just maybe, one of those dawky pimpled butchers employed habitually by exhaust-fix franchises pulled things apart on a previous fix? Cheers Euan Christchurch NZ >>Euan - Save your money ,and maybe go to a knowledgeable M/B fixer. All the little shocks do is to dampen out the shaking when you shut off the engine, high compressions engines shudder a bit as they stop. Have you replaced all three engine mounts lately? How about the Bellville washers on your header pipe, are they assembled correctly and tightened per the instructions in the manual?

It depends on the engine number. There are 2 possibilities. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Euan Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2006 12:00 AM To: mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: [MBZ] Part number for 617.912 engine shocks Hi there colleagues in alms Can someone with the relevant EPC please dig out the part numbers for the two little gas-strut dampers either side of the engine block in my 1985 300TD (non-turbo)? My MB-fixer has removed the old ones (said they were stuffed) to take the downstream vibration out of the exhaust system. By my logic, the struts should dampen the engine-block vibration down; removing them must surely free the block up to /generate /vibrations. Thanks indeed in advance.
