Re: [MBZ] anybody know anything about 4wd?
I believe some of those are electric activation of hydraulic clutches, so low or bad fluid can do strange things in there, like make them fail to shift in or out, or "hang and bang" when shifting in or out of 4wd.

[MBZ] anybody know anything about 4wd?
On my new suburban, when I bought it, 4wd did not kick in. Turned out bad electric 4x4 actuator. Bought new one at autozone. Now it kicks in. Problem is, when it does goes into 4x4, it starts pulling hard to the right. Tires are fine, all the same, nothing like that. Goes straight when in 2wd. Also noticed today if you try to engage it going more than about 20 mph or so, it seems like the front axle or something bangs 2 or 3 times then kicks in. I also noticed today that when I took it out of 4wd, it did not actually go back to 2wd till the next time I took a right turn several miles later. Tried it again later, it banged a couple times and kicked in, same thing, would not kick out till I turned right. Its almost like its applying more power to the right side than the left from the front axle. -- Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] value 300D
In the factory, they put a bare chassis on the rack, then bolt on the evaporator, then build the car around it. Unfortunately, the evaps are made of dis-similar metals, and so generate leaks.

Mine have 275,000 and 350,000 miles. The paint and interiors on mine are good. I'd guess between $3,000 and $5,000, but might be lower now. Depends on what you'll offer, and what they will accept. Check the alignment of the belt tensioner and idler pulley, AC evaporator, and how it runs/drives in general. Records?

The only ways I can think of to check the evap are to look at the service records (it's been replaced, or you'll probably have to replace it in the next few years), or have an A/C shop stick a freon sniffer in a cold air vent in the dash to see if it's already leaking. If the system is low on freon, just assume it's going to be costly. Wilton's W124 looked like this a few days after he started on the evaporator replacement: http://okiebenz.com/pipermail/mercedes_okiebenz.com/attachments/20080610/f374d39f/attachment.jpg Mitch. ___ 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
