A tired Benz diesel starter needs a new armature, not just new brushes and a turned commutator, which is all the "rebuilt" ones usually get. Bad windings is the real problem. Bosch rebuilds have a new armature. Peter ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new

Re: [MBZ] 240D Starter Problems

You should check the current draw on the starter as well -- when those direct drive starters get old, the resistance in the winding goes up, they turn slow, and draw a colossal amount of current (2000A). A grinding noise could be two things -- a bad starter over-run clutch (those usually sc

Bought a Gwagen with an additional blown 240D engine , big end failure at #1 which threw a rod and punched a hole in block . Was wondering if the block is repairable? Main bearing foundations not affected. I suppose it depends on just where it punched through, and how structural that area is.
