Re: [MBZ] Nice 190D Low miles
It's a 201, not a 124. 124's are the 300Es, 300Ds, 400Es and 500Es from the late 80s/early 90s 190D prices have gotten really high in the last few years. He's asking $5500, which I've seen a few 190Ds go for on ebay. Depending on condition and how much you're really willing to spend ... might be a winner.

You can be crusing down the interstate and suddenly feel a power loss that lasts less than 1/2 second...something exactly like taking your foot off and back on the throttle. Also, at cold start it's very rough and needs to have enough throttle to keep at least 800-900 RPM to run somewhat smooth and not die. Glow plugs are barely 2 years old and the injector pump and injectors were replaced by the P/O (maybe 50kmi ago). I've replaced all the rubber fuel line from tank to primer in the last 8 months. I'm thinking from my experience in the semi-diesel world that I have a lift pump that's weak. I read 07.1-145 Checking fuel pump and bypass valve and it seems that the bypass valve can get clogged and needs to be cleaned and the spring lengthened to increase tension. Is there anyone else that has had an issue similar to this where cleaning the bypass valve fixed the issue or did they have to replace the fuel pump? (btw fuel, primer, lift...they all mean the same thing in the big diesel world) TIA all, The lift pump almost never fails (and the engine will still usually run if the fuel level is above 1/2)!! Look at the tank screen, the inline filter, the main filter or a plugged VENT line. A plugged vent line is the thing that most often causes the symptoms you describe in a Mercedes diesel (vacuum develops and prevents unrestricted fuel flow).

Re: [MBZ] S600 wiring
injection harness are the most replaced item and then the engine harness. you'll go through alot more injection harness's because it sits on top the motor where the heat is. alot of this has to do with the averall amount of heat in the engine compartment.

In reading on another list it has been notice that replacement actuators after oh about 96 have different coloured wiring, leading one to believe perhaps the wiring or part supplier changed things to the better. If said vehicle has any cracked wiring instantly subtract $8K? Lastly I'll note that some folks have discovered that right behind the engine is a plastic water distribution device (dual mono- valves?). That has a tendency now to crack (age/heat) and dump all the coolant. It is a bit ugly to access for replacement, kind of stick on engine, put engine in car, what you to remove it later? Why is that firewall in the way. In general you want to pay a bit extra for a 98 or 99, and ask about the evap and wiring.

The car was sold to me by the original owner and he drove the car from Fla to Wash D.C seasonally. I DID NOT PUT A MOTOR IN THE CAR AND SEE NO PROBLEM WITH IT.is the question answered yet? - I don't think he gets it. Maybe Marshall should send him some hard data. :-) D.

They're nice cars. Nimble in comparison to your 123-126 experience. The Euro 190D I recently picked up looked just like the one on e-bay. Florida took its toll on the paint. I think the car is silver in the pics. It looks like cream inside. It probably really is a good deal except paint can be expensive, then again, you may want to try clear coating the upper damaged surfaces only. I went for the whole paint job and stripped all the trim, bumpers etc off of it. $678, not the greatest but respectable. In the springtime (maybe sooner), I will help it out a bit. I don't know if this is good reference but I paid $1200 for mine 1986 2.5 5 Cyl (not 4 as yours is advertised) 62,000 miles, original owner. I had to do a ton of this and that but I now have a near perfect low mileage MB diesel for $2600. If I charged myself for the labor, I may have close to $5,000 in it. Either of these cars should hold up nicely for a good ten years if cared for properly. I love mine, had several before, no inherent problems. Well maybe the wiper. Johnny B. I Mac Therefore I am

Subject: [MBZ] 240D Belt Problem
Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2006 09:07:02 -0500
Had a strange problem with my 78 240D last Thursday - was on the Interstate
doing 70 or so when I heard a bump and noticed the dash lights on and water
temp rising - knew a belt was gone so I switched off and coasted to a stop.
The AC belt was off its pulleys and laying on the engine bay - the
alt/water
pump/ crank belt was no where to be seen. I saw it a 1/4 mile down the
road
in 2 pieces! Anyway - couldn;t get the PS belt loose to remove so I cut it
and got my spare belt from the trunk - didn;t have proper wrnech to adjust
the alternator so the belt would fit so I managed to pry it on over the
main
pulley - it was a little loose but it got us home.
All new belts (the old ones were only about 5 years/30,000 miles old) and
now all is well - but it has emphasized the need to do a detailed check of
the belts more often than I did. I usually check things over about once a
month but since becoming disabled and no longer driving to work the 240D
was
being used less less I obviously wasn;t checking things often enough.
It always starts instantly (without block heater) in weather to the
teens - but it seems quieter now that it has new belts. Anyway - take a
few
minutes to examine your belts - it ain;t NO fun to work on the side of the
road! I feel *very* fortunate to have been able to wrestle the belt back
over the pulleys so we could get home without a tow. I've also updated my
tool kit to include wrenches needed to loosen retighten the alternator.
I
can easily get along with out AC and PS - but we ain;t going NO where
without the water pump. Oh yeah, I'm glad I had a razor to cut the PS
belt - made life easier -

yep, you are exactly right, its going to either be that or the tank screen is plugging up. I am leaning more toward the overload valve since the problem goes at goes.

[MBZ] Misty eyed was Kaleb's latest haul.
WOW! Cool car. I have always liked the old 250's. My first Mercedes was a 1971 250. Mine had the 2.8 motor (I don't know the code) I think halfway through the model year they switched over. It was a great car over 400,000 miles when it finally crapped out. I had sold it to a friend and he drove it for 3-4 years. He was on the highway and something happened (I am guessing oil pump died suddenly). He said he heard something lost all oil pressure and before he could get it shut it, the engine was toast. I loved that car. Mine was bright red, white/ivory interior. I always liked the looks of the coupes. What year is this one?

You can be crusing down the interstate and suddenly feel a power loss that lasts less than 1/2 second...something exactly like taking your foot off and back on the throttle. Also, at cold start it's very rough and needs to have enough throttle to keep at least 800-900 RPM to run somewhat smooth and not die. Glow plugs are barely 2 years old and the injector pump and injectors were replaced by the P/O (maybe 50kmi ago). I've replaced all the rubber fuel line from tank to primer in the last 8 months. I'm thinking from my experience in the semi-diesel world that I have a lift pump that's weak. I read 07.1-145 Checking fuel pump and bypass valve and it seems that the bypass valve can get clogged and needs to be cleaned and the spring lengthened to increase tension. Is there anyone else that has had an issue similar to this where cleaning the bypass valve fixed the issue or did they have to replace the fuel pump? Luther, Don't overlook the possibility that it is the boost protection switch, mounted on the intake manifold. These will go bad and cut fuel just as you describe but at only 6 or 7 psi instead of 14-15 psi. When the switch closes it interrupts the pressure signal to the ALDA and the engine gets fuel, the equivalent of an unblown car, which feels fairly anemic You can pull the wire from the switch to see if your problem goes away. Or you can remove it and rig a test connection with your mitevac or air compressor. Or a remote possibility is the turbo unloader valve is failing and the pressure is excessive. Unlike when the wastegate opens to limit further boost and power, when the overboost switch activates, power instantly drops about 30% (but the engine should NOT stall - there should be sufficient fuel to allow the engine to run at about 70% of full power). Check this by disconnecting the electric line to the switchover valve of bypass the pressure line thru the switchover valve (directly from the intake manifold to the ALDA). Vacuum in the tank can choke off fuel/power and may even cause the engine to stall, but simply opening (and then reclosing) the gas cap and letting air rush in, restores fuel flow (at least for many miles). This tends to happen unpredictably but usually only after you've been driving for a while.

[MBZ] Counsel, approach the bench
This brings up a not-very-interesting question---was the /8 the last MB with a column shifter? And if so, was it ever offered with a bench seat instead of buckets? I have seen (in the boneyard) 115's with a column shifter and the 'bench' seat. What it was was a small cushion (built just like the regular seat bottoms) that sits in the tray, and in conjunction with the rather generous armrest serves as a center seat for small fry. In fact, I nabbed the interior from one of these that was in pretty good shape. As the Frankenheap has a column shifter as well as a floor shifter, and as boy- racing is really pointless and stupid in a 200D anyhow, I've toyed with the idea of restoring the column shifter so that the extra seating would be available. Probably never happen, though. I have the handle, but I'd probably end up fabricating the linkages. -- Jim

Re: [MBZ] ISO 300D turbo (W123) in GOOD condition
No affiliation, but I looked at a beautiful 1984 300CD turbo last week. She's in Columbus OH. Orient Red with palomino leather interior. 2 owners (1 family), almost zero rust, complete records, 285Kmi. Non-smoker. A/C is R12 and needs new hoses. Antenna mast doesn't work. Driver seat may need new springs. Hauls ass.

Re: [MBZ] Power steering fluid change

Re: [MBZ] 240D Belt Problem
It depends (don't you love that phrase). However, it does depend on a lot of things. Assuming belts are properly installed, the environment will be the major factor in the life span. Here in Houston (and I suspect other major metropolitan areas), the ozone wrecks havoc on rubber parts. Belts usually last me 1-2 years maximum (I change them when I see them start cracking). Hoses are a bit longer, but wiper blades last me less than a year.

Re: [MBZ] 240D Belt Problem
I have an uncle who was a pro mechanic. He says that belts should last a long time but you need to apply belt dressing to them periodically if you expect them to do so. They get dried out and glazed but the belt dressing will prevent that if done properly and regularly.

I wonder how much re-engineering they would have to do to use the Mercedes CDI for aviation purposes? Tom, thanks for that link. That is well worth browsing, especially if you are interested in radial engines. There is also a page devoted to Norberg radials made for pumps.

Re: [MBZ] More cool specials
I also do not know how he could guarantee these filters. What exactly would that mean? For example, if you run into problems with your old motor with 300K plus miles on it, how are you going to prove it was the fault of the filter? You can talk oil analysis all you want but I would not think it fair to pursue the vendor of the oil filter that you chose and installed. If you don't like the idea, then do not use the new filter. However, we are seeing more and more things come out of the far east that are a good or better than many of the products that we used to produce in the west. It was not always like that but it is becoming more so on a daily basis. Any engineers on here with the facilities to do some testing? It would be interesting to know if there is any difference in the oil based upon the brand of filter being used. I have not been around here long enough to know if y'all have been through this in depth but I know there has been considerable discussion and some reasonable data on other forums relating to various oil filter manufacturors. I am sort of a believer that if I change the oil often enough, it likely is not going to be a huge issue what brand of filter I use. I ran a 77 Ford and then an 86 Ford over a hundred thousand with minimal wear using basic house brand filters and oil. I changed both at 3000 mile intervals and never had any issues (apart from headgaskets which is how I ended up having a look at the cylinders etc.). If you plan to run expensive synthetic lubricants and want to extend your change interval then you should either pay for a premium filter (and hope you get what you pay for) or possibly, change the filter mid cycle. My 2 cents. Your mileage may vary etc. Randy B -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bob Rentfro Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 2:38 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] More cool specials Hendrik asked the tough question: Question is, are you willing to risk your reputation with these cheap filters. Just because they look similar does not mean that the quality is the same. Personally I pay a little extra to get genuine filters. Also are you willing to guarantee these filters? I don't believe Rusty can be duped He does this for a living. He's not going to fling out a piece of crap out there for us. He certainly can make more money selling us the filters we're used to buying. Why would he risk invoking our collective ire?
