I think you can squirt some carb cleaner in, light it on fire, then feed it compressed air from a gun until all the crud is burned out. I posted a video link to it one time. On Feb 27, 2018 11:19 AM, "Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes" < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: I have 5 new glow plugs that

[MBZ] 124 questions

2018-03-01 Thread Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes
First question, are 124 103 powered coupes worth anything? I figure a 104 powered one would be but surely even the 103 ones have some sort of niche? 2nd question, will a 722.3 that was installed behind a 103 work behind a 104? Maybe with a valve body swap at the most? Sent from my iPhone

Tell me about the Michelins -- the LF tire on the SD went bad -- really warn on inside and outside down to cords and the belt separated almost all around the inside and some on the outside. Kinda weird, like it had run really low inflation for a long time but it has been aired up OK.  I had

I don't know about the W123 trannies (mine was manual) but it's easy to change the shift "hardness" on the W124 auto-trannies. Pull of a rubber cap on the vacuum modulator, pull the "T" out with needle nose pliers, turn it a notch or two, push it back in, put the rubber cap back on. Drive it to

So I must have the best of both worlds, an 83 300TD that has an 85 differential in it. I do like that for the lower RPM on the highway but it does impact just slightly on the acceleration. The mileage seems to be very slightly better with the 85 diff but then it may be just that I've slowed

That leaves me feeling cold. At over $5000 for just the transmission and from the looks of it they don't know what they are talking about because the starter on the 617 is NOT on the upper left bu the lower right. Just saying. Mind you if it was $2 or $3000 with everything needed for

I might still be interested. When I get this one out for a bulbectomy I was planning on taking a deeper look. It’s the original and hasn’t been touched, so I’m sure it’s tired. Probably needs belts, rollers, etc. Make me a deal...and you know it would get a good home. For what it’s worth,
