addenum- i also replaced the crankshaft gear that drives the timing belt- it was wasted too- made setting the ingition timing impossible.

just got done digging thru my piles of sh 1 t in the basement. mercedes used engine shocks on their v 8's and diesels in the mid 80's and earlier. managed to dig up an engine shock (m b part# 1162400248 - stabilis pn 04.22040303.) this shock's overall length (fully extended) is 7.5 in as opposed to ...

can't believe anyone would pass up a clean t4wd for a bad balljoint! bring it to me- i' swap it out in 20 mins! all you have to do is put a load on the tapered pin and smack the control arm with a hammer. just wish i could find a car like that for sale here in MD. I NEED A CLEAN RUST- FREE BODY.

i got a t2wd wagon from a former girlfriend (long story- not going into it now) a few years back- same story- no power, loud knocking noise (i SWORE it was a rod knock.) turned out to be a loose crankshaft pulley.. put a new/used pulley and key in and gooped everything up with loctite (the crank was...

"running rich" is when you're getting too much fuel for the amount of air supplied to the engine. what you're experiencing is elevated idle speed. could be a sticking choke plate or fast idle cam or a myriad of other possibilities.

petros- had the same condensation problem with my '88 three years ago. i removed the lights,dried out the water [tissues, followed by compressed air] cleaned the seam between the lens and main body and then ran a bead of marine 5200 sealant completely around the seam. MUCH more durable than silicone...

petros i assume your 240d had the high- mount york a/c compressor. best way i found to fill the cooling system was to remove the t- stat, fill the block and head, reinstall stat, open the bleeder above it and burp the air out. you're right, they are tanks [although as a friend of mine once said &quo...

addendum to my latest post. problem with soldering- both surfaces must be VERY clean-almost impossible to do reliably without tank removal [just ask any plumber]

sorry if i stepped on anybody's toes with my earlier post here. just trying to help. i agree with splatterdog - radiator time. petros- thanks for the welcome-prechiate it. as for where i got my info- it comes from a particullary painful experience i had 10-15 years ago. was doing a 'side job' on a m...

have you checked the a a p diaph in the carb? if ruptured it will let raw fuel run into #1 cyl [as i recall] also, i once had a problem setting ignition timing on a 3ac [couldn't quite advance timing far enough- advanced dist one tooth and then timing would not retard quite enough] turned out the ca...
