Re: [MBZ] Audi diesel
hmm, interesting. There was a little sliver of plastic in the pan when I pulled it. Outer edge was sort of rounded like the complete piece would have been a circle. Peter Frederick wrote: You would have to take the valve body apart -- not something for the faint of heart. There are something like 15 check balls in various sizes in there to drop The one thing you can check by pulling the pan is probably the governor, but I don't know for sure it's accessable on that tranny just through the pan. On the SDL, a common failure is for the plastic drive gear to break, causing a no upshift condition. Not bad to replace, but you also have to remove the bits from the two associated check valves, otherwise they get jammed open. Peter On Mar 15, 2009, at 6:25 PM, Kaleb C.

I've noticed that on my 300D (191 K miles) that the valve cover gasket is seeping some oil. Also, last fall I had a problem with the flat vent tube from the valve cover to the air filter -- it kept popping off of the valve cover. I put a hose clamp on it and now it's oozing oil too. I did check the tube before I put the clamp on it and it did not seem obstructed in any way. Now I'm wondering if maybe it is, or there is a blockage somewhere else? Thoughts?

Re: [MBZ] Audi diesel
You would have to take the valve body apart -- not something for the faint of heart.

On the SDL, a common failure is for the plastic drive gear to break, causing a no upshift condition. Not bad to replace, but you also have to remove the bits from the two associated check valves, otherwise they get jammed open. Peter On Mar 15, 2009, at 6:25 PM, Kaleb C.

[MBZ] cheap 300D turbo w/intercooler converted to 4 speed
1980 300D Mercedes Benz Tubo Diesel Manual Transmission Reply to: sale-nqtac-1071551...@craigslist.org Date: 2009-03-12, 9:45AM This is a "One of a Kind" for sure. The body is a Mercedes 1980 300d. It came from the factory with a 3.0 five cylinder non turbo diesel and a 4 speed auto transmission. It got about 27 miles per gallon, but was a little slow. So after the motor threw a bearing I just went ahead and put a rebuilt 3.0 five cylinder TURBO diesel from a 1982 300SD. But that motor just kept killing the auto trannys I put in. Well, I started to look for a Mercedes 240d Manual Transmission. Kinda hard to find. Then I had to make the linkage, get the drive shaft made, find a shifter, get a clutch plate and flywheel, etc. I've got over $500 in the tranny and fitting it to the engine. The motor is 120 hp stock. I put a intercooler and free flow air filter on and turned the injector pump up. It runs very well, starts well also, I just put a new set of glow plugs in. Now the "other" stuff. It leaks oil around the valve cover gasket. Bad. I think the oil trap on top of the valve cover is plugged/resricted, or the hose from the oil trap is to small. It'll have to be fixed to dive a long ways. It leaks about one quart every 50 miles. You can see it "crawling" out around the valve gasket. The body has some rust in the back wheel wells. Only one window works now, the driver's side window and the sunroof work. I know its the wiring and/or and bad connection. It'll need new tires. It's almost 30 years old. Call (417) 884-5178 and ask for Joe or use the email shown. * Location: Sheldon -- Kaleb C.

[MBZ] OT: Morse code, was - 2004 C230 Kompressor ?
Yes - there is a LOT of code on the air. Will be till us old foggies die off -- My code was never very good, but if it's repeated enough I can still read most of it. Morse code requires the least amount of equipment to transmit, and is very efficient in terms of bandwidth used, but is now blown away by the new digital MFSK modes in terms of the most distance per power, or the least power needed to communicate (Morse code used to hold that honor).

I actually did some wrong math. I was looking at something else. Its going to be closer to 800 or a little less E M wrote: You can put all new tires on both the 140 and your truck for $600? Next time I need tires, I'm crossing over to the US! lol Cheapest tires for the 300E could cost about $4-500 here.

Sure isn't going towards fixing potholes!! lol 2009/3/15 Kaleb C. Striplin Well it looks like Im going to spend about $600 on getting new tires for the 140 and the truck. Probably going to go with the altimax H rated tires for the 140. I notice on my new suburban I have one tire in the back that does not match the other 3, anyway, its supposed to be aired up to 50psi, after about a week, its down to 30. Sprayed it down with soapy water, it seems to seep air in various spots just in the middle of the tread. Guess that tire is just old and worn out. So, on the truck, the 2 back tires are down to the wear bars, but the 2 front tires still have a little bit left, so I will probably put new tires on the truck, and transfer to the good tires over to the suburban for now. I would really just like to get new tires for it as well but will wait a while I guess. I still need to get new tires for my other 190D but need to do the shocks. ball joints etc first.

All of a sudden, it was like night and day - he could hear it. When he was doing a cross country test ride years ago, the instructor got out his chart to be able to decipher the ID code - but my son heard it just like it was someone speaking and the test instructor was amazed anyone could catch that code that fast.

Re: [MBZ] Audi diesel
You guys would die to have the audi diesels we have over here. . I have an a4 diesel and I would say it is great. Today I returned my rental car which was a citroen and it was very very fast and fuel efficient. Very efficient. . My audi does fifty five to sixty mpg and this citroen was better! What you get there is not as good as what we have! The current diesels are awesome. . My dream car, he I needed one, is the CLS 320 cdi. I see it everywhere!

Re: [MBZ] OT - Stupid
A buddy and I were redoing his bathroom and kitchen below, had to take up the subfloor on bathroom above. Kept telling him to watch out and only step on joists. he got a brain fart and stepped on the sheetrock, went through, and landed on his man parts. He rolled around in agony for sometime and finally got back to work. He had a child some time later, so I guess he was OK. He learned quickly though. --R Mitch Haley wrote: Archer wrote: Now that you mention it, someone did say something about a smoke test. One problem is that the roof was built using prebuilt trusses that make it nearly impossible to get up there and move around without sticking a foot through the ceiling drywall. I probably ought to hire it done. I walked the length of my parents' house a couple of months ago. 12" fiberglass batts between prebuilt trusses on 24" centers, with 1/2" drywall nailed underneath. I put on knee boots and walked on the trusses. Since I was threading my upper body through the truss bracing, there wasn't any danger of losing my balance. The fiberglass popped back up pretty well after I walked on it. Just go slow, don't stomp (you don't want nail pops in the ceiling paint) and put your feet on wood, not gypsum.

Re: [MBZ] load range
Looking at truck tires, says I need load range E on my truck. Right now its got 265 75 16's I believe on it. Calls for 245's instead. On tirerack, when changing to 265 instead of 245, seems the tires are actually a little cheaper, but dont say they are load range E. Is the load range have to do with the max PSI of the tire? In the case of my truck, back tires are aired up to 80. I was not sure of load range was the weight rating of the tire or how much air it could be blow up with. The D's I (mistakenly had) put on my truck were rated to 65 PSI, and had nearly the same weight rating as the E's I'd thought I was getting. After the catastrophic tire failure last summer, while loaded, I had E's put on. E's are what my dad insists on having on his truck, and what I thought I had been getting in the first place. The E's are rated to 80 PSI. E's are also known as 10-ply, versus the 8-ply D's. You want to haul ass in your jacked Chevy, D's are great. You want to haul 1-2 tons of crap in your truck, use E's. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

[MBZ] Stuck in 3rd.
The Manual Tranny on My 240D hung up in 3rd Friday afternoon. Went to my buddies shop and put it on the rack. Thinking that one of the shift arms had come a loose. The way my lucks been going lately it couldn't be something that simple. And I was right. The tranny has something locked internally. G Time to make a run to the German Bone Yard Monday. There is a 240D with a rod thru the block that has a Manual Tranny. Just hope it hasn't been sent to the crusher yet. In case it has Kaleb do you have one and how much you want for it.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Hot water
From: Wilton Strickland In Summer 1945, my 15-year-old brother and I (11) rigged a shower in a small shed on the farm. 'Put a wash tub (galvanized steel laundry tub) on the roof, drew water from well nearby with chain/pulley/bucket and filled the tub in morning up and down a ladder. 'Laid coupla scrap boards on the dirt floor for us to stand on "in the shower." 'Used a nail to punch holes in a gallon coffee can and set it over a hole in the roof; 'end of the day water was hot; he'd go up on the roof and pour hot water into the coffee can/shower head for me, and I'd pour for him. 'Bet we were the only farm boys for miles around who were getting hot showers at the end of the day. Wilton -- That was pretty clever; an early solar energy heater. It's too bad modern kids don't have to improvise like you and your brother did. This was the 1940s too but I was a city kid. Parents had sold home in a small town in Indiana and bought one in Tampa. Florida which had a bathtub but not a shower. Few people in Tampa had showers back then since most lived in older houses and bathed in bathtubs (or washtubs if they were poor), but I wanted a "modern" shower. I built a shower curtain frame out of half inch galvanized pipe and put it around the tub which was in the corner. The plaster wall was protected with painted tempered masonite. I took off the bathtub water spout, put on a galvanized "T" fitting, screwed the water spout on it, ran half inch pipe up the wall, put on an elbow, a short piece of horizontal pipe, another elbow, and a shower head. A big cork pushed into the bathtub spout turned it into a shower bath, and with the cork removed, it was a usable bathtub again. A few days later we heard my father cussing in the bathroom. As usual, he was leaning over the tub, running the water for his Saturday night bath, but the water was coming down on his head; not in the tub. I had forgotten to take the cork out. Over time my mother and several visiting relatives also got "showered" that way. I could never remember to take out the cork. In that respect I suppose they were happy when I went off to college.

Re: [MBZ] Audi diesel
Not too bad -- belt driven OHC, so all you gotta do is take off the vacuum pump, loosen the belt, and take off the injection pump drive if its' on the rear (on the VW it's on the main belt). Then remove valve cover and unscrew the head bolts. I think you can disconnect the exhaust and pull the head with manifolds (both on the left side on this one).

Re: [MBZ] The 140 is back on the road
But the W123 chassis also was produced with the 3L TD engine (top speed about 120) and the gasoline 2.8L six, top speed almost 130 mph. Same weight, give or take a bit, same handling, same tires.

The Sumitomo is H rated (130 MPH), the other 2 are T rated (118 MPH). Speed rating is not just about 'speed'. Lower speed rated tires have sidewalls that are not as stiff and the softer sidewalls affect handling and in some cases, safety.

Re: [MBZ] Audi diesel
I'm sure that Rusty has a cure for your tranny issue. If the car is in as good a condition as you say it is, and you'd keep it, it would be worth the price of a tranny from Rusty.

Re: [MBZ] wonder if I should buy this?
Looks like there are wires running parallel to the injection lines - to heat them perhaps? It has the dreaded earlier climate control, though the AC doesn't work, so maybe it's not an issue? Are the tires any good? You need a car to drive (if you don't finish one of your projects) - On Sun, Mar 15, 2009 at 2:12 PM, Craig McCluskey wrote: > On Sun, 15 Mar 2009 11:41:05 -0500 "Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] load range
Load range is the maximum load the tire is designed to carry at the max pressure marked on the sidewall. But it's not all about air pressure - 2 tires can run the same air pressure & have a different load range. I know I sound like a broken record but its all about tire sidewall design. Run a lower load range than you are supposed to, run with a load and your tire sidewalls will overheat. You can't make up the difference with more air.

Right now its got 265 75 16's I believe on it. Calls for 245's instead. On tirerack, when changing to 265 instead of 245, seems the tires are actually a little cheaper, but dont say they are load range E. Is the load range have to do with the max PSI of the tire? In the case of my truck, back tires are aired up to 80. I was not sure of load range was the weight rating of the tire or how much air it could be blow up with. -- Kaleb C.
