If there is motor oil on the fitting on the brake booster (or on any other vacuum hoses along the main vacuum hose) then the vacuum pump is failing. Greg Fiorentino '85 300SD '80 240D 4 spd. manual '79 300DT (with new crate engine) '95 and '97 Crown Vic -Original Message- From:

You are right. I can pull up parts for the 99 E300, but nothing comes up for me either when I try the 95. -Dave Walton On Sun, Apr 26, 2009 at 9:45 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin ka...@striplin.net wrote: I tried that and its not working.  In fact, so far, I h ave not been able to get anything to pull

Re: [MBZ] 87 MBZ 420 SEL High temp

Sorry, I am slow on this one (was admitted to ER and spend 14 hrs there due to my heart pulse at 160 for an hour). Did you check the temperature switch in the engine? I had this problem in my 190E which runs high even though I did flush the system, changed the radiator cap, change the

[MBZ] OT: Frozen A/C evaporator

Turned on the air conditioning this afternoon, for the first time. Was a little stuffy, 82 degrees inside... Tonight I notice that the thermostat is showing 79 with the set temp being 77. Air at the registers is cool but flow seems awfully low. I went down to check the furnace and there is

Re: [MBZ] OT: Jetta 1.8 Turbo

I must have had a bunk one then, since my Aries tossed it's belt at about 110,000 miles in the middle of the night. No engine damage, but it was a PITA -- I had the new belt in the trunk but had not installed it because the crank pulley was held on by a funky Torx head type bolt I couldn't

Re: [MBZ] torque for valve cover, OM617?

But it does, by any measure. I discussed this at length with a lubrication engineer from FMS (or whoever the company is that makes phenyl phosphate ester additives for oils) when I was doing a project for him. Much greater film strength, vastly superior abrasion reduction, far greater

Re: [MBZ] OT: Frozen A/C evaporator

Check the evaporator temp sensor -- if it's bad, it can cause the compressor to run when it should be off, and in certain circumstances (outside air temp under 90 F, for instance) cause the evaporator to freeze up. Could be a bad expansion valve too, but the evaporator temp sensor should
