[MBZ] 85 300SD
Hi Gang, Some punk broke the hod star off my car the other week, but this punk did not even take it - just left it sitting on the hood. I received a new star on Wednesday. How do I take what remains of the old star off and how do I put this new star on?

Re: [MBZ] 85 300SD
It's hard to explain without showing you but here goes. The star base is held in by a spring in the base. You compress the two sides turn the spring until it's retained by the holder then lift out the base. Install the replacement by dropping the star in place rotating the soring until the two arms pop out. You'll need a pair of slip joint pliers.

Dave, all I have is sympathy for you, but I am deleting this quickly just in case my '81, which seems to almost be as it should be, gets any more ideas.

Sounds like a runaway starter, shorted on and the Bendix trying to engage the ring gear. Can you determine what the connector that stopped it goes to?

Re: [MBZ] 85 300SD
I hear the familiar tonation of a burned out starter turning while no attempt to start the engine is found. Your starter stuck on and destroyed itself. With any luck that's the extent of the damage, though the ring gear needs to be examined. (Through the removed starter's hole.) The chances are good that it alone was at fault, though it is possible that the starter switch is a culprit, or even something as obscure as the glow plug relay, to which the starter line also goes (as an input). First, get out that starter and have a look. Replacing a ring gear is no fun.

Actually I've been meaning to mention... I had the summer tires put back on my 190D on Friday, had to buy 2 new ones to replace 2 that were worn when I had bad links in the rear end. So they put the two good old ones on the rear first while I went inside to get the 2 replacements. The kid and I talked while he swapped those on $8/hr? Geez When he went to hit it with the torque wrench the car started to roll away because he'd left it on the jacks, probably since I'd distracted him... Got it off the jacks, hit the fronts with the TW and I was off. Had to go out to western MA on Saturday, did about 100 miles. On the way home I started to notice a vibration I didn't like but figured I was just tired. Vibration was back Sunday and got BAD including thunking on deceleration BAD. I got scared until it occured to me the kid hadn't used the TW on the rear wheels. You don't suppose? Yup, the rears weren't even finger tight. Pulled out my lug wrench and tightened, vibration GONE, thunking GONE. Hit 'em with my TW when I got home, its a beam type that only goes to 75 ft/lb. I keep forgetting to go back and get them retorqued, I should have yesterday but it was pouring...

Re: [MBZ] 85 300SD
Worn out carrier in the diff -- the spider gear shafts wear from inadequate lubrication and the resultant oval hole allow them to move and clank. Easy to check -- see how much free rotation there is at the pinion. Should be minimal, but I'm willing to bet you have quite a bit -- half a turn or so -- accompanied by a clunk as the shafts hit the end of the oval holes. Time for a replacment diff, and this time put synthetic lube in it.

Are you SURE the arm is BROKEN? Do you have the door apart yet. It's usually the little (about an inch + -) square plastic slider that usually fails. The slider is easy to replace by drilling out old rivet and brad new copper rivet. If the arm is really BROKEN, you may need new mechanism or splice arm.

[MBZ] '85 300SD engine mounts and shocks
How many mounts and shocks are there on the OM617 engine in this car? AND, how long should they last, approximately? Mounts are two years old and one of the shocks (at least) is about the same age and I am getting some shaking...NOT rack damper bolt type loping. Thanks!

[MBZ] 85 300SD Auxiliary cooling fan thermo switch interment?
The other day when I did some service on my car, I changed the radiator hoses (upper, lower and bypass), thermostat and fan clutch. After reassembly I have had some interment operation of the auxiliary cooling fan (warm and hot, no more cold operation here in Dallas). I believe that this is being caused by the thermo switch on the thermostat housing. At what temperature is this suppose to trip? What does it do besides turning on the auxiliary cooling fan? And why are there 3 thermal electrical sensors on the thermostat housing. One for the aux fan, one for the temp gauge, and one mystery sensor.

[MBZ] 85-300SD Valve Adjustment
Adjusted Valves on 85 300SD. The intakes were between 2 and 3 and exhausts were around 7. Set intakes to 3 lose 4 tight and exhausts to 13 lose 14 tight. Used home made (bent cheap wrenches from Harbor Freight.) Was a bit difficult to tighten ( may make better wrenches) and I would like to see a dismantled valve adjuster some day to understand it better, for me it was not the most intuitive thing. I love in Dallas Tx and the abetment temperature was at least 90F. The hardest part was trying to predict which way the clearance would go when I locked the adjusters, I did my best to keep the top nut steady. The factory Docs have a tool that they use to hold the big nut just above the valve spring. Maybe this would help, don't know. Changed out radiator hoses ( my bypass hose was starting to leak) Used the MB coolant from Rusty, Weird it's not quite clear but it hardly dyed (faint Yellow? Pearl Light is darker that that!)

It seems counter-intuitive, but the explanation I heard is that the RO water is very hungry for ions. In a closed system like a car cooling system I think the problem would be minimized, though, because the water won't stay deionized for long. David Brodbeck '83 300D Turbo

[MBZ] 85 300SD Radiator Hose Fan Clutch service.
My bypass hose leaks a little, nothing dreadful mind you. Yes I have tightened the clamps so I have decided to replace it. I ordered and received new radiator hoses Upper, lower and bypass (what a pathetically small hose to start all this ..), a thermostat and the o-rings - gasket, fan clutch, fan clutch bolts and MB antifreeze, 2 jugs. My fan clutch is hopelessly locked up. It all looks straightforward. Are there any tricks to refilling it with coolant air bubbles and the like? What kind of water would one mix with the MB antifreeze? In the past I have been a believer in distilled (demonized if available) but heard otherwise. I have a new thermostat, have not yet decided on replacement, my old one is working OK.

Distilled water is NOT best, high quality drinking water - water that's not too hard - is best. That's water that measures below about 120 ppm or 7 grains (measure of particulate). With Mercedes approved anti-freeze changed every couple of years, distilled water IS preferable to the hard water that is available in more half the water taps in the US. If you're going to BUY water, get the drinking water from the supermarket rather than the distilled water. It is MUCH less reactive and although the buffers in the anti-freeze WILL neutralize the reactivity of distilled water, it shortens the life of the anti-freeze.

When I did the first rotor replacement on my 1994 S350, I had to remove rolled steel pins from the axle that had no matching hole in the replacement rotor. Three were quite stubborn. I ended up removing the hub, tack welding a short round rod inside the pin, and hammering them out from behind with a 3-pounder. -Dave Walton On 9/7/05, Mike Piles [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all, I'm getting ready to do a brake job on all four wheels of my Mercedes.
