Not sure what type actuator you are talking about, but it sounds like the old
type. Check eBay item 290134199414.

Would anyone be kind enough to send me the applicable pdfs so I can
track down the Air Conditioning wiring on an 87 300D 124? I seem to
have misplaced my cd. I out it out so I could look up A/C related
stuff, but now I can't figure out where I put it.

I don't think you need to play with the IP *unless* there's a reason to
suspect it has changed without help from you or a technician - if youfound
the hold down bolts loose then it may have changed, but if it's the same it
was when it ran good, I woud not think it changed without help. Uness

Perhaps that explains why they were willing to blow it up

I agree it was a 124 - same color as mine - but they don't have style - it
wasn't a diesel! ;-)

Fred's AC question makes me think of my '96 Dodge which has never had any AC
work done to it. It seems like its not cooling so well anymore, whats the
wisdom on this? There are kits that come with a gauge, presumeably they come
with instructions. Presumably this kind of kit is pretty stupid proo

James, If you dont want to tear into the injectors yourself - all yellow
pages usually have at least 1 Bosch authorized service center - if you don;t
see one (look under engines), look under truck servicing - most will work on
the small diesels also -
If you still can't find one, contact me of
Curt.
The diff. on a 201-190D, DT etc bolts directly to the subframe, not rubber
mounted.
Of course I'm known for my flights of fancy, so check it out.

I thought there was one on the old mbz.org site, but I
couldn't find it.
It's not difficult, it just involves a lot of brute
force sort of work. Start in advance and soak the
bolt really, really well with penetrating oil. You'll
need a breaker bar to get it loose, I guarantee. Lube

We'll be out of town for a week or so. Heading to the wilds

Leaving in an hour or two, but if anybody wants to chat cars
in Alta, Driggs, or JH e-mail nowish!

Does anybody have a writeup on subframe mounts? My 190D needs 'em and I was
thinking of doing them myself. Good excuse to buy a floorjack I think.

Yes! A ten-cylinder two-stroke pump, in the case of the ND.
(Two-cylinder for York, four for R4, six for A6, ten for 10P15C,
you get the picture!)
