Re: [MBZ] 240D clutch

Philip, I had a slave cylinder fail on a 190D, and there was no visible leak. I think just like a brake master cylinder, one failure mode is bad cup seal, so leak is internal. Refill the system, check for leaks, if none the check for pressure at the slave cylinder when the pedal is pushed. No

Re: [MBZ] 240D clutch

When I looked up 003 997 12 52  it is the low pressure hose.   I found a note on PP forum that this is more like the original low pressure hose. N203501 - VW Braided Brake Hose, 7mm ID, Per Foot So, apparently something like the or

Re: [MBZ] 240D clutch

Is that the low pressure hose from the reservoir to the master? The high pressure hose should be more like a brake hose.  I can't imagine the high pressure hose being an accordion. fmiser via Mercedes wrote on 3/1/20 4:03 AM: TRW part number 555-33011-381 I had to grind 3 mm off the end of t

Re: [MBZ] 240D clutch

That said, it may be the slave that went south.    But chances are 50/50 that since then, the master has gotten rusty and won't survive...   Depends on how new the fluid was, how high the humidity was, etc., etc. Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes February 29, 2020 at 1

Re: [MBZ] 240D clutch

If it were mine and I was gonna drive it, I'd buy a new master, slave and hose.  (and maybe even the tube.)  Change em all, filler up, bleed er out, (or better yet filler up from the bottom, eliminating the need to bleed.) and not have to think about it for a LNG time.   As a flipper, ymmv.

Re: [MBZ] 240D clutch

Three possibilities: Low fluid from a slave cylinder leak (brakes work fine) Bad clutch cylinder so no pressure to operate clutch Bad slave cylinder (also low fluid but at the transmission end, not a brake line or caliper) or leaking line ___ http://www.okie

Re: [MBZ] 240D clutch

The PO said it did it before and he took it somewhere and they cleaned something out and it worked fine. He then went to drive it and it suddenly did not work again. Just goes to the floor with no resistance but comes right back up. Will get it into the shop and get under and see what the deal i

Re: [MBZ] 240D clutch

Either slave or master cylinder is probably leaking. Master will drip in the foot well, look for a stain. Slave can fail with no visible leak. Max Dillon Charleston SC Feb 29, 2020 9:19:12 PM Dwight Giles via Mercedes : > Start by checking fluid levels in master & look for leaks in slave > cy

Start by checking fluid levels in master & look for leaks in slave cylinders. Top it off & see. Dwight Giles Jr. Wickford RI On Sat, Feb 29, 2020, 9:12 PM Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > This 240D I just picked up has a dead clutch. As in, it just goes > straight t

[MBZ] 240D clutch

This 240D I just picked up has a dead clutch.  As in, it just goes straight to the floor.  I have never dealt with clutch issues before.  Does the master and slave cylinders need to be replaced or any sort of testing to determine the issue? ___ http://www.o

Re: [MBZ] 240D Question: Dangerous?

The biggest thing which impacts performance of an automatic 240D is proper transmission functionality. If the shifts come too early, which is really common with cars that have not been tuned by someone who knows what they're doing, the car will be significantly handicapped. If you can hit the shi

Re: [MBZ] 240D Question: Dangerous?

Not dangerous but challenging. I commuted 140 miles a day 2 or 3 days a week for 4 years in my 79 240D automatic, much of it on I95 south of Boston. First thing is to chant "Gravity is my friend" & drive it like a bicycle. I described mine as a great middle lane car-~75 mph. I had 2 scary uphill

Re: [MBZ] 240D Question: Dangerous?

My father had an '83 240D, it was actually decent in my opinion. Not the fastest car on the road, but more than adequate, as long as you weren't in a big hurry. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okieb
