[MBZ] Hard Starting

Friday night I left work and tried to start our 1982 240D/3.0. It had been in the 20s during the day and probably was about 15 degrees at that time. I glowed and cranked and the engine turned over rather slowly. I didn't keep the starter going long enough after it started, so the engine died. I had

Re: [MBZ] Hard Starting

Have the current draw checked on the starter. If it's getting high, time for a NEW or BOSCH REBUILT starter, not a reconditioned one. Need to have the armature replaced, too much resistance. And do, please, keep cranking until it runs on it's own, else you are likely to run the battery fla

Re: [MBZ] Hard Starting

At 15°, I think the only thing wrong was in your forgetting to crank until it's running. Nothing broke, don't fix it! -- Regards, Peter T. Arnold 2007 HHR, 2.4L/Auto, LT2, 20Kmi, No problems! 1987 300SDL 286 KMI Now lives with Dave Walton, Cleveland Ohio 1995 F-250 PowerChoke 199Kmi 1954 Me

Re: [MBZ] Accidental head gasket replacement done

Ed: You cannot use the easy way on a 103, as there are no holes in the cam sprocket through which you can wire tie the sprocket to the chain. You must get some paint markers and mark the chain and sprocket well enough that the paint won't wipe off (remove all the oil with carb cleaner spr

Re: [MBZ] Accidental head gasket replacement done

Peter, I think early this spring, I'm going to tackle the head gasket in my W124 300E. Seeing a little oil in the coolant. I also want to change the little seals on the valves, and was thinking all along, that it might be easier to just pull the whole head and do it on a bench, rather then mess

Re: [MBZ] Hard Starting

Craig, The most common cause for an engine not starting in extreme cold weather are valves that need adjusting, a low charging alternator, a burned out glow plug, a partly discharged (or old) battery or corroded battery terminal. You can eliminate the battery & charging system & battery terminals

Re: [MBZ] Accidental head gasket replacement done

Hi Peter, You addresses several of the questions I had in my head. In other engines I've changed timing (belts) on, the cam gear was marked. If the 103 isn't, my though was to do as you said, or to be sure not to rub the paint off, scribe the cam gear, and chain. Good advise to get the head tes

[MBZ] spare W124 engine??

Hi Everyone, Can anyone tell me if there are any differences between an '88 and '90 gas engine for a W124? 3 litre engine. There is an engine for sale in town here, and as I'm thinking of picking up another W124 in the next couple of months, maybe picking up this spare and freshing it up and kee

Anyone have a CArFAX open, could please check: 1B7KF2361XJ570032 Dodge P/U, I hope... Also anyone have experience with lift pump failure on 1998-2002 Dodge. I understand that the fuel tank pump is marginal pump capacity. It should be augmented with add on pump to prevent F.I. pump meltdown. -
