Based on your description of the noises I am inclined to be confident
the outer bearing is bad - we get a loud growling noise starting at
45mph or so and getting worse and speed increases. But I don't recall
any vibrations on accel / decel or clunks as you describe.
The CV joint is a question
Thanks for all the great replies! - I will investigate today I hope -
temp is supposed to be in the 70s so it should be nice outside. Just
found the humidity is 100% - Yuck!
Thanks again to all who responded -

Hi Peter,
Ok, I think I understand now. Thanks for the explanation - I may try
both methods to see what happens.
For some reason my brain understands the 2nd method described below.
But it still seems like something is missing from the 1st method - if
the + cable is disconnected, how can
Thanks Peter!
I need to look at the WSM again - I'm not understanding the hub
completely. Or I could pull a wheel and take a look - might be worth
the time because I find the idea of replacing the carrier w/a used one
interesting. Then again, I'm not sure I would gain anything by using a
I'm confused - nothing new there - if I disconnect the + cable then
touch my DMM between the + post and the fuses I wouldn't think there
could be any fuse to draw anything - or am I missing something? Without
the cable connected there's no circuit, right?
Thx

It seems to me batteries are lasting much longer than they used to - I
got 13 years from a Optima I bought mid 2000. But the replacement I
bought lasted 5 years so who knows. I have several lead acid batteries
bought in 2013 still alive and well...
Having found out that I have a short of
Hi Max,
If the GPR is sticking on,, would the GP light be on? I may know the
answer but I'll ask anyway - my 240D had a relay that would come on at
random times - only indication I recall is the headlights would get dim
for a few seconds. But I don't recall if the light came on
Ok, here's the fuse that blew - Position C - it controls the following:
Rear roof light
trunk light
rear door locking system
seat back arrestor
central locking
door lights
reading lights
Auto Antenna
Control Unit Seat Adjustment
But if one of these were left on, I think the battery
Hi All (again),
When looking for my fuse description I came across something I found
years ago - probably in the 90s - called a Mercedes Time and Labor
Calculator.
It used to work but I haven't tried it in a while. Anyway, it's in a
zip file that I will be happy to send to anyone who
Hi Gang!
Tuesday, I put the spare battery from the 240D in my 91 300D and it
fired right up without any charging needed. I put my DMM on it and it
read in excess of 13V and after the GPs heated it fired instantly.
Today, I planned to start it and maybe run it around the block - maybe
more
Hi Peter, just to be sure I understand what you are saying when you
wrote, "not just the hub that presses into the bearing." - I thought
the bearing presses into the hub, not the other way around? Then the
axle slides thru the center of the bearing..., no?
I think it is easy for me to
