Polish it hard and it will turn silver! The gold color is just a plated 
surface (cadmium?).

Re: [MBZ] part number for gold PIN (aka new rack damper bolt)

2006-11-17 Thread Steve MacSween 
IIRC when I upgraded my blue SD, the new RDB I got from the dealer was
silver not gold. And it did the trick.

But that was a few years ago so maybe this got lost with some brain cells
along the way ;-).

I had a Topaz diesel, the starters for the car were $750 years ago. The
engine was made by Mazda and they got good gas mileage but could not get out
of their own way. 

I got mine from a shop who could not get the car to run, seemed it ran out
of fuel never to run again. They burnt up starter trying. I paid $200 for
the car, found a start for $350 with 1 year warranty. Loosened fuel line,
pressurized fuel tank with shop air using a rag and air blower in fuel cap
neck, started right up, next day drove from NC to Florida in the car. One
year later and 4 starters I sold car for $1.

Its caused by leaking window seals.  If they are not replaced, this is
