Re: [MBZ] Compressor seal part numbers?

I pulled the clutch on the one in my first SDL without any special tools.    I suspended it from the clutch with the bolt loose, and whack the bolt with a hammer. I got a seal kit on bay of fleas for  ND 10p15c I did not, however replace the shaft seal.  I replaced most stuff behind the clutc

Re: [MBZ] S500 trade

The mystery here is why he's considering the trade at all. He's a mechanic, and _hates_ German cars. He's a Chevy snob. I, however, love them, and Dad had that 560SL that he loved, so he got to spend a bit of time around it. Maybe it's not so bad? Or maybe it's because that quad has been fo

Re: [MBZ] S500 trade

157k on a M119 is nothing. 20 years on the plastic cam oiler tubes is everything. Does it go klatta klatta klatta? Have the rear window regulators died yet, or the glass tilt/slide sunroof? But other than that, it's a great car that'll get 20-25mpg on the open road from premium of ever increasin

Re: [MBZ] S500 trade

Depends on the condition. If you were going to get a W140 chassis car, this would be one of the better ones based on the model year. 157k on a well maintained M119 is nothing. -D > On May 9, 2019, at 2:07 AM, Jim Cathey via Mercedes > wrote: > > My brother's got a 2-stroke Suzuki quad that
