Vib damper on my '80 240D was poorly secured with 5 or 6 smaller bolts; some
came out; others sheared; damper and pulley finally came off and dropped
SWMBO on road; long distance truck driver gave her lift to a phone. 'Think
the car had about 60 kmi then - my second MB disappointment; first was when
exhaust pipe broke apart at rear end of muffler at 40 kmi. Third was when
timing chain in '91 350SDL broke at 89 kmi.

I was thinking (but hoping not) that would not only be the only fastener
as
large as that, but that would also account for the poor cooling. It
sounds
like it might be a PITA to change out. Anyone BTDT? Tips and tricks?
Pull
radiator first? Replace with even higher grade bolt (if available)?
