Re: [MBZ] Compressor or expansion valve?
The W124 monovalve is not repairable, you must replace it complete. Usually the seal fails, just like the W123 except that it's a rubber fitting instead of a diaphragm, but I've also had the coil go bad. In either case there are not parts, it has to be replaced complete.

There is no W107, only R/C107. There ought to be a C123, but I'm not sure they ever used that designation. Certainly did W123 and S123, though. Never R123. The numbers were probably sequentially assigned, at time of _concept_. Not all concepts get finished, or finished in order. Later I'm sure there was back-filling, re-using numbers that never really got off the ground.

Re: [MBZ] R129 Motor Mounts
Part number prefixes are meaningless for the most part. In many cases they’ll cross over between chassis numbers over time, so the prefixes are irrelevant at that point.

Re: [MBZ] R129 Motor Mounts
OK - my memory is slipping - it's the R129 that is based on the W124. The R/C107 is based on the W114/115. Part numbers. When I owned both a pair of W124s and a C107 I noticed several 107 part numbers started with 124. When I needed a pair of new rear axel half shafts, I ordered them from Rusty - both of them had 124 part numbers, though the left and right were different - the Right one had the teeth for measuring rotation by a sensor for the anti-slip (or what ever MB called it) on the R129 that wasn't on my W124.

Re: [MBZ] Compressor or expansion valve?
The mono valve requires 12v to keep it closed (heat off). Any disruption to the current going to the valve (coil) will allow it to burp open (e.g. bad connection, bad solder joint, etc.) During normal heater operation the valve is cycled open and closed to regulate temp. The repair kit just includes the moving part and it's called a "lifting magnet" A 000 836 06 55.

Re: [MBZ] R129 Motor Mounts
If you stare at the issue long enough it does become obvious. The w113 is of the era of w110/111/112/114/115/116 design class R107 follows the 108/109 numbering scheme of dart board naming With the advent of the w123, we moved to the w126/w124 and needing a replacement for the long in the tooth, R107, follow with a w129. There must be a large hole in the desert where the w127/128 are buried. clay monroe > I turned my computer upside down and shook it, but the bookmark for what I'm > looking for didn't fall out. > On Jun 9, 2019, at 10:14 AM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes > wrote: > > Thanks.

Re: [MBZ] Small world - Benz Edition
Make sure all your gutters are unblocked and that the downspouts divert rainwater away from the foundation! Then regrade with the plastic sheets. We did this for our leak DC house and it solved all problems - cheaper and quieter than a noisy sump pump.

Re: [MBZ] Chevrolet Details 2020 Silverado 1500's New Diesel Engine
Dodge has had a 3.0l diesel since 2013 I think. I drove one in 2014 when we bought ours, it was nice, drove as well as the 5.7l gasser but I couldn't justify the extra cost.IIRC the Dodge engine is made by VM Motori and is used in big trucks in Europe.
