While we're talking wipers has anybody ever lubed a 201 wiper? When its real
cold out the wiper on my '85 190D gets real sluggish. This car has the sliding
monowiper, I can't remember the specifc term, it goes in and out during its
travel.
I'm thinking I'll drip some ATF into the motor and lube all the linkages too.
What should I lube the linkages with? I've got some sunroof grease hanging
around...

115 Experts,
The passenger side wiper does not move on the 75 240D. The shaft
does not turn. I think the wipers were turned on when they were frozen
to the windshield. Would someone be so kind as to post the short
version of how to fix it? I hope it is not an onerous a job like the
heater fan...
Thanks,
Bruce

Thanks to all that replied for the tips. I'm looking forward to another
interesting cross country journey with my trusty side-kick Wulf.
Highlights include painted desert, petrified forest, 5 days at Benedictine
Monastery in silver city, NM, Alma, CO (highest town in N. America), CO Hwy
130 (or 150?) (highest paved highway in North America), St. Isidore the Farmer
Romanesque Church outsie of Denver and the Cathedral of the Plains (largest
Church west of the MS river when it was built by German immigrants in KS (many
of whom were Volga Germans from Russia. The ones that did not escape back to
Germany during the war were liquidated after the war by uncle Joe). The ones
in KS faired much better!
Will give an update on performance and any probems encountered...about 2,600
miles round trip...not really a big deal.

On the injection pump. ADA for NA engines, ALDA for turbos. Earlier
cars don't have either mechanism. The Frankenheap does not, for
example.

Absolutely. All the ADA does is cut fueling at altitude to prevent
grotesque smoking. Cuts power, obviously. A turbo is what actually
makes up for the thin air so that you don't notice any difference,
and the ALDA is what adjusts fueling (at all times) to maximize
available power without smoking.

Drive normally.

ALDA/turbo? If you don't notice any power difference at altitude
it's working.
> 4) any tips on driving up and down mountains?
Upgrades are excellent Italian tune-up fodder. On long downgrades,
if you find you're riding the brakes downshift to maximize engine
braking instead.

Again count me on this one. Hammie's lock had gotten a little sticky and I
figured I'd lubricate and live with it. Well the day came when I hopped in the
car and it was no turney. I fought with it for 2 days, lube, heat, wiggle.
Finally had it towed to my Indy with the expectation of a big bill. He managed
to wiggle it and get it turned saving the big money. Then it got sticky again a
week or two later but before it got stuck I had it over there getting a new
lock.
Dory the 190D pulled the same game right after I got it and at the first sign
of balking I had her to my Indy, I needed another key anyway...
This is really a game of pay now or pay BIG later but you will pay.

Hendrick who always has something clever after his name.
You should really heed this advice, lest you want to be known as
Hendrick who thought he'd try to save some money and is now pulling
his hair out because he has to drill out a hardened lock cylinder.
No joke, the ignition lock is telling you it is going to fail in the
not too distant future. When you can no longer turn the key it will
be impossible to remove the lock cylinder without a lot of effort.
Its not a pretty sight. Many on this list once thought they knew it
all and went about trying to avoid fixing the problem and came up
with all kinds of ideas. None have been successful and many of the
aforementioned folks will bear testimony to their foolishness. 1(800)
741-5252 good place to start or visit your local dealer with VIN to
get one keyed to your car.
