[MBZ] Frozen engine
Greetings all, It’s roughly time for my annual MB diesel report and obligatory inquiry. There are rumors that my SIL will be the new owner of W123 240D. The family lives in WI which limits my diesel assistance to verbal support over the phone. But he enjoyed a prior career as a diesel mechanic so I’m content to be a hands off consultant. We still breath a big sigh of nostalgia whenever someone mentions the 74 W113 240D that I sold far too soon. The best automobile ever to roam the earth IMHO. Ok now here’s the question: How does one free up a frozen engine block. It’s a V12 Jag not a Benz but I wager someone here has succeeded in doing it. Not sure if it’s overheated or merely rusted. I once knew the procedures but am drawing a complete blank.

[MBZ] Hello Again and A Question
Hi folks this is Bruce from way back. My fleet of 7 MB diesels has been long retired (sure miss the W113) but I have introduced them to a good friend and am helping him out. Question of the moment: Who is the current online supplier of choice for OEM MB parts? Back in the day Rusty hosted a great online parts service down in Georgia but he closed down. There must be someone else out there.

[MBZ] ATE vs Bendix final chapter
All, I was finally able to mount the Bendix caliper to replace the ATE on the 240D. The rotor had expanded in diameter due to rust and heat deformation and was impinging on the caliper. So I ground off the rust on the circumference of the rotor which relieved most of the interference except for a couple spots. The Bendix caliper was a rebuild and the two castings were poorly matched, the outer casting was offset high. So I applied a little Dremel therapy to the high spots. Now it fits, and on to the other caliper. Bendix rebuilds are a common as coffee cups and very inexpensive, under $50 everywhere. ATE calipers have disappeared, $375 ea. on ebay for full rebuilds, seal kits alone are $25 ea. So the answer is Bendix. BTW, as I was fumbling for a plan, Management asked Can't you just take the part off that other car? (she was kind enough not to say that old diesel that's been sitting in the driveway that doesn't run) In hindsight, the correct answer should have been Yes dear. It was another 240D with Bendix calipers.

[MBZ] ATE vs Bendix Calipers...more...
All, Thanks for the inputs on the ATE vs Bendix calipers question for my 74 240D. It came with ATE calipers. My basic question is whether I can replace *both* L and R calipers with Bendix. I tried to mount a Bendix caliper on the front right but there was interference from the rotor, not sure if it was an incompatible mount or merely rust on the rim of the rotor. Any ideas?

[MBZ] ATE vs Bendix?
Hi All, One of the pistons is frozen in the front brake caliper on the 74 240D. It is an ATE caliper. The other 240D has a Bendix caliper. Is the Bendix compatible with the ATE mount/rotor?

[MBZ] Can not remove W115 Key
Hi All, The key for the 75 240D can not be turned or removed after the engine is shut down. The engine stop plunger button is fully depressed but the key will not turn CCW. The steering lock will not engage either. Is the problem with the key or the steering lock? And suggestions on how to fix either?

[MBZ] W115 Fuel Gauge Misbehavior
Hi All, We've been nursing the W115 fleet along quite nicely...with one annoyance: The fuel gauges are misbehaving in both vehicles. The odometers also are unreliable so fuel management is a challenge for their drivers...and a bother to their Dad who takes their I ran out of gas calls. Question: Short of removing the tank, is there a quick access to the sender units in the tank, or otherwise useful scheme to limber up the floats?

[MBZ] Air in Fuel line?
Hi All, The 74 240D runs great with the 'new' engine but it is hard to start in the morning. It fires up quickly and immediately quits. I pump the primer 50 times, start it again, it quits...repeat...finally it stays running. Definitely feels like an air leak in the IP. The IP governor diaphragm leaks...it doesn' t hold a vacuum like the other IP. So I assume the torn diaphragm is causing the air leak and starting problem. Any other possibilities for the air leak?

[MBZ] Fuel Tank Cleaning
Hi All, I recently purchased a very nice 74 240D and put a good motor in it. It runs sweet, but then dies of fuel starvation. Discovered that the tank is filled with old biodiesel that has the color, texture, and clarity of carrot juice. I have to stop and blow out the tank screen every 5 minutes to get it to run. What is the most expeditious way of cleaning out the tank? I flushed it once through the outlet lines but it is still filled with gunk. Is there an inspection hatch I could use, or should I remove the tank and manually shake and swirl it?

[MBZ] Pulling Motors - Opinions?
All, The first time I swapped an engine, I left the tranny in the car and unbolted the motor. It was extremely slow and tedious. Afterward, I vowed to never do it that way again, and next time pull tranny and motor together. The second time, I pulled the tranny and motor together, and vowed never to do that again. It was faster and simpler, but vastly more physical effort was required. Third time, pulled motor separately, and afterward decided again that it was a mistake. What is the consensus on this list?

Re: [MBZ] 220D Head Removal - Epilogue
Finally got the head off. Had to remove water pump, etc. and fabricated a puller for the timing chain rail pin using a hose clamp and a bolt. The pin came out nicely and I removed the rail and lifted off the head. Everything looked fine...except that 3 pistons were at TDC! #2 piston was stationary. Oh well. I was looking forward to puttering around in the little 220 but I guess a motor swap with the banged up 240D is in the works. Cheers, Bruce -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Re: [MBZ] 220D Head Removal
Jim, I found that the tensioner rail is 2mm wider than the slot. I don't have the shop manual, but the Haynes manual alludes to a 'hook style' rail that requires removal. It mounts on a pin by the crankshaft that requires a special puller to remove which I lack. Don't know why they did that. Would have been so easy to make the rail fit - 30 sec on a grinder. Removing the head is incredibly troublesome. So I tried grinding down the rail with the Dremel, but it's extremely slow. It turns out that everything was fine inside the cylinders anyway (was looking for prechamber damage). So I might just button it back up with the old head gasket and hope it seals. Is there any reason that might not work?

[MBZ] Is it curtains for the SD?
Folks, Need some sage advice...the 84 300SD puts out HUGE billowing clouds of blue-white smoke at low to mid speeds. Not a problem at highway speeds. It also seems to use a lot of oil. The motor starts unwillingly, but runs very smoothly once started. Lots of blowby but still adequate power. But it literally fills the neighborhood with smoke as I leave the driveway. Ran a can of Diesel Purge through it but no effect. :-( Is it time to dispense with it, or can it be saved? Cheers, Bruce -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Re: [MBZ] Glow Plug Current Problem??
There's an extra 'connected' statement in there Jim - You are right, to measure the voltage at the GP, I connected the wire to the relay, and disconnected it at the GP and then measured the voltage across the gap - 10 volts. It was 12 volts across the gap at the relay, with everything else connected up. So the wire alone caused a 2 volt drop. I used a digital Ohmmeter that measure milliohms I will measure the voltage from the + battery terminal as you suggest. Bruce -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Re: [MBZ] Glow Plug Current Problem??
If you're actually measuring (reliably) 0.5 ohm from the relay to the glow plug (and not including the glow plug) you have some seriously bad wire there. Jim - That's exactly what I did. I disconnected the wire at both ends and measure the resistance of the wire alone, not including the GP. It was 0.5 Ohm. I connected the wire to the GP, turned the key on, and measured the voltage at the relay. It was 12 volts. Then I connected the wire to the relay and measured the voltage at the GP. It was 10 volts. The voltage drop was 2 volts. So that tells me that the current across the wire is 4 Amps...not very much. Did I get it right? Bruce -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[MBZ] Glow Plug Current Problem??
Hi All, Back again after a long absence...with a problem... My 85 300CD won't start. It runs great once it starts (w/ jumping, boosting, charger in place), but over the period of a week it got so it would not start period. I replaced batter, GPs, filters, adjusted valves, checked IP timing, etc. etc., basically everything I could without ripping the engine apart. Still no start. Yesterday I checked the voltage at the GPs. At the relay, the voltage was 12 volts, but at the GPs, it was 10 volts! Is a 2 volt drop across the GP wire bundle normal?? The GP wires all approx.1/2 Ohm resistance. What should it be? Could the current be low from the relay (thinking V = IR) ? Need some help here please.

Re: [MBZ] Glow Plug Current Problem??
Something like 1/2V is more like normal, you're only drawing something like 60A (and yes, Ohm's law applies) while glowing. Jim - I measured .5 Ohm with a voltage drop of 2 volts, which means it's only 4A, not 60A. Might there be a problem with the relay? When were the valves last adjusted? Last week. Are the fuel filters clean and full of clear fuel? Yes, also changed last week Do you have fuel at the injectors when cranking? Confirmed An air leak in the fuel delivery line will make the engine very hard to start without a great deal of cranking.

Re: [MBZ] Neutral Start Interlock

[MBZ] Engine Swap?
Hi All, The sweet-running 75 240D is history, having met its match with a Jersey barrier in a rainstorm on I-5 in downtown Seattle. No injuries to the young driver thank goodness, but the front quarter and suspension are badly banged up beyond repair. The motor still runs like the proverbial sewing machine and the tranny is decent. So here is the question: Can I drop the 240D engine into the 72 220D (FNULNU) that has been patiently waiting in the garage for a new motor? Will it match with the 220 tranny? BTW, in my estimation, the late model W115 240D indeed deserves the title Queen of Diesels, approaching perfection in the beauty and simple elegance of its design, construction, and driving qualities. Our late, lamented 75 W115 whisked us around like magic. The 123s, 126s, 116s, and others drive like battleships in comparison. As nimble, smooth, and quiet (yes, a well-maintained W115 diesel can be VERY quiet) as it was after 30 years and hundreds of thousands of hard miles, I can only imagine what it drove like when it left the showroom.

[MBZ] Finally...Interlock Unlocked
All, It took a while, but I was finally able to disable the disfunctional starter interlock on the 74 240D. The wiring diagram for the interlock circuitry shows a rat's nest of switches, lines and connectors. The actual interlock relay is embedded inside the 10-pin box under the dash.

[MBZ] For W115 Experts *ONLY*
Ok folks, I am losing my sense of humor about the neutral gearshift interlock on my 74 240D 4-speed. It supposedly keeps the driver from starting the car in gear, but now it has failed and the starter can't be engaged by the pullknob. The gearshift position sensor switch is fine, but the confounded relay, wherever it is, is locked open. Anyone who can direct me to the location of the neutral gearshift interlock relay so I can fix or defeat it will be conferred the title of W115 Foremost and Honorable Master Consultant. BTW, it is not one of the relays on the firewall or by the battery, as I confirmed the function of both of these and they serve other purposes and work fine, as well as the starter itself which works fine.

Unlike the 75 W115, there is no relay reset button (that I can find) in the engine compartment. Can anyone tell me how to reset the relay (and where it is in case I am looking at the wrong device) or shunt it so I can start the car? TIA, and apologies for never posting anything except when I have a problem! I will post the outcome of replacing the IP on the 82 300CD shortly (good news story).

[MBZ] Engine Trouble?
Hi, Since the old IP in the 82 300 CD wasn't pumping fuel, I found another IP and temporarily installed it in place. I was surprised to find that I could spin the crank even though the IP was locked with the locking pin. The cams are turning fine and the motor has good compression. Where could the IP drive shaft be slipping?

This can cause hard starting when cold and explain the ABS light. It is a silver box relay, located near the battery with a fuse (red) on the top of it, iirc on a w124.

Slater wrote: I have a plea for the list. I'm trying to keep my Mom's 87 300E on the road and I only get word when things are bad. Recently she called to tell me that one day she went to start the car (was probably about 50 F that day) and it would turn over easily but it wouldn't catch and run. She stated that the day before all was fine and dandy. She managed to get it started and came down to my house. She was there for several hours and we went out to start it in my driveway. When you could get it to catch and run it ran very rough unless you took the tach up to about 1800 - 2000 rpms where upon it would smooth out. If you dropped it down into the 1000 rpm range, if you could keep it from stalling, it bucked and I could intermittently hear something like a backfiring sound through the air cleaner (I was standing outside the car). If you kept the engine in that higher rpm range for about 5 minutes until the coolant temp came up to about 60 C, then it would run pretty much normally at all rpm ranges. Once warmed up there was no loss of power or misfiring that I could detect. I checked the air filter and it seemed normal enough. Not sure what to check next. She did mention that her ABS light has come on now and doesn't go off. I could be connected or just a weird coincidence. She added fuel injector cleaner prior to coming down to my house (about 35 miles of highway). I thought about changing out the fuel filter, but that doesn't make sense in light of the improvement in running once warmed up. I would appreciate any ideas. The rest of the family is anxious to get her into some other car which she won't be able to afford and no doubt will turn out to be a death trap tin
Re: [MBZ] Engine Trouble?
Did you transfer the drive sleeve from the old pump to the new one? There is a splined sleeve between the IP and the injection timer on the 615 chassis, and it may stick to either spot coming out. If it's not in there, the IP is not, in fact, connected to anything and will not turn with the chain. Peter Peter, the sleeve is in place on the splined shaft in the engine, and in fact I can turn it with a pair of pliers without moving the crank. Might there be a woodruff key on the shaft that could have sheared?

[MBZ] IP Troubles
Dieselvolk, We're having IP troubles with the 82 300CD. Daughter reported that it was losing power and parked it at a local gas station. I put in 5 gal of diesel and it limped home sounding like the proverbial can of marbles with barely any power. I figured it to be a plugged fuel filter due to lots of biodiesel and being driven on a chronically near-empty fuel tank. After a new fuel filter and bleeding at the filter housing, no firing whatsoever the next morning. I aired out the fuel line from the tank and checked out the shutoff valve, no problems. Fuel weeps out of the injection lines when the primer pump is pushed, but there is nothing whatsoever coming out of the IP when the motor is cranked. No amount of cranking will make the IP push fuel out the injection lines. I removed the No. 1 line and nothing comes out of the little exit hole on the IP unless I push the primer pump. I'm hoping that problem is merely some air in the IP waiting to be bled out. Is there an air bleed screw on the IP for that purpose? My real concern is that the IP is damaged due to a slug of water or something from the bottom of the tank. Ideas, anyone?

W115'ers The 74 240D is running great...except for the buzzer...which goes on when I brake hard, and sometimes when I depress the clutch, but it goes off when I shift into neutral (4 speed manual)! One must put the car in gear sooner or later, after all, so it's a bit of a bother. What is it trying to tell me?

[MBZ] Culprit Found
Dieselvolk, I finally tracked down the hard starting problem with our brand new 74 240D. It was starting fine, then one morning it suddenly took excessive cranking and barely started. It had all the hallmarks of a bad GP as so often happens with the W123s, so I immediately swapped all of them out...with absolutely no effect. DRATS! I had it on on a heavy bio diet, so I changed the fuel filters (which were crudded up badly)...again, no effect. Out comes the volt meter, and the GPs registered 8.5, 5.4, 4.1, and 1.6 volts...wait a minute, why is plug 4 lead 8.5V and not 12 V? New GP fuse (is it really supposed to be a red 16A?)...no effect. Hold on, the GP wires leading to and from the fuse box shouldn't be wiggling that much...in fact there should be ZERO movement...grab a phillips and crank down on the fuse terminal screws...voila! Problem solved. Some day I will learn to check the simple things first. And do the old loop style GPs *ever* burn out?

Re: [MBZ] Mystery Water leak W123 300D (Peter Merle)
Peter, The miniscule leak you describe is likely due to an old weeping coolant hose. First check the bypass hose, then the lower hose. I see the problem periodically in my 'fleet', and it's usually the same fix. BTW, I read somewhere that coolant molecules actually are smaller than H2O and find their way through more easily through old hose. I need a chemist to explain how that can possibly be...doesn't a molecule of ethylene glycol have more atoms than water?

Re: [MBZ] Superglue
How does this work? Do you put the superglue on the affected shaft/gear? Kevin in Hillsboro, OR 1983 300SD 266K miles, Ursula Yes, take an extremely thin Xacto blade and daub some superglue where the cog gear holds the shaft. It doesn't take much. Use liquid superglue, not gel, and it helps if the gear and shaft are warmed up with a light or other heat source.

[MBZ] New Arrival...and questions
Hi All, We have a new arrival - she looks great, is healthy, responsive, and pumpkin orange. A 74 240D, very clean, and the heater blower fan works! A fitting replacement for the 79 240D that we sent to a warm and deserving home on Marrowstone Island. A new thermostat was needed, as well as a slug of oil in the air filter and a fresh change of M1. But after I changed the oil, something made me stop and think. The new car lacks the plastic oil filter screen and shaft spring in the oil filter housing that is on my daughter's 75 240D. Is this standard for the 74, or do I call Rusty tomorrow and order parts? And what happened to skinnerbox.steaky.org? (Yes, I've been AWOL for some time) Thanks, Bruce 82 300CD 348kmi 'His' 85 300CD 253kmi 'Hers' 75 240D 202kmi 'Donner' 77 240D 204kmi 'Blitzen' gone to a better place 74 240D 79kmi FNULNU 73 220D 'It' - Food fight?

Actually, I thought the TruckSUV Mobil1 had disappeared with their last change, since it disappeared from local shelves. But I suspect that Delvac1 will be around a bit longer, as real truckers don't seem to have such short attention spans as car drivers seem to have - hence the maketeers at Exxon-Mobil with their constantly changing numbers and bottle shapes and colors. Also, note that the advertising says that the TruckSUV is for gasoline engines, Diesels don't seem to be included. Anyway, I wouldn't want 5W-30 in my Diesel unless I lived somewhere North of Calgary. I like the idea of 15W-40 standing up to the temperatures and pressures on my engines! Some of us old-timers remember the gas crunch days of the 70s, when the car manufacturers figured out that by using thinner oils, they could save a few horsepower, and hence improve mileage. I believe the trend to 0W and 5W oils is rooted in this concept, which is a good idea as long as you get rid of the car before it gets too many miles on it. The manufacturers have a vested interest in getting people to buy new cars - not keep them for 20-30 years! Using too thin and oil was a big part of the downfall of GM and their 5.7 V-8 Diesel - GM said to use straight 30W, and the gas stations put in 10W-40! It had to be better, because it cost more, right? WRONG! Werner - Get your own web address. Have a HUGE year through Yahoo! Small Business.

[MBZ] Couple Questions
All, Any ideas on these would help: 1. The 82 300CD has a developed a nasty deep loud growly rumble during tight RH turns, worse when power is applied. Sound emanates from tranny area. No noise with LH turns. Is it differential, rear bearings, front bearings, flex joints...???

Re: [MBZ] Bio Standby Hose Package-Rusty
Everybody: I have been running various blends and formulations of biodiesel in my 4 diesels for a couple years now. Here's what I found: 1. New standard braided injector return lines can fail catastrophically in less than one year, spraying the engine compartment with fuel and creating a dangerous fire hazard. Happened twice, thankfully no fires. 2. New tank filler gaskets will rot in 2 years. Goopy melted rubber oozes down the side of car, damaging paint. 3. Fuel tank lines have not yet shown obvious acceleration of rot other than standard rate of decay. I watch these closely. 4. Fuel leaks at mechanical joints are appearing all over. Rubber problems seem to depend on the particular bio used. The commercial bio sources seem to be the worse than homebrew. The latest shipment from a commercial supplier is particularly nasty. I strongly recomend that anyone running bio replace the braided return lines immediately wth Viton or 1/8 hi pressure rubber fuel line. The old style lines constitute a fire hazard. There may be no sign of leakage, softening, or other prior warning before they blow competely off. Yes, you might smell the leak and pull over if one fails, but a family member might not recognize the problem until a fire breaks out. Bruce Levi Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, I'm not too worried about the rubber lines with bio. The other part I've heard is that there aren't many rubber lines that are made with natural rubber that are more susceptible to being eaten by bio. I certainly don't blame wvo for a leak I had on a worn out cracked and split return line on a 23 year old car... As for the synthetic, it's all in how you look at it. I've experienced first-hand how synthetic causes leaks. I switched to synthetic one weekend and then within an hour I had an oil feed line for the turbo that was spraying a stream of oil. Now, I don't think synthetic dug a whole in the line, but I think it unclogged the gunk that was previously plugging the hole... So, whether it caused it or not is semantics, but the fact that synthetic can start leaking when you switch over is definitely true in some cases. Levi (: On 5/24/06, David Brodbeck wrote: Bob Rentfro wrote: Is Viton the super secret good stuff? Viton has very good chemical-resistant properties. In my previous job at a carwash manufacturer we made heavy use of Viton seals for valves and fittings that carried soaps. A lot of the soaps contained D-Limonene, a powerful degreaser and solvent derived from orange peels. It's non-toxic, but it'll swell rubber in high concentrations -- Viton and PVC are about the only polymers that will stand up to it. It's pretty amazing the first time you see a rubber O-ring that's swelled up to twice its normal size. I wonder how much of the biodiesel kills hoses story is because a lot of old cars have hoses that are about to go anyway, and when they fail the biodiesel gets blamed. Sort of like the old wives' tale about synthetic oil causing leaks. ___ http://www.striplin.net For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net ___ http://www.striplin.net For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net Bruce 82 300CD 334kmi 'His' 85 300CD 240kmi 'Hers' 75 240D 202kmi 'Donner' 77 240D 204kmi 'Blitzen' 73 220D 'It' - Do you Yahoo!?

Re: [MBZ] The wave
Zoltan, Back in the 50s and 60s in when I was a youngster riding in my parents 219 and 250S, the standard Mercedes greeting in the U.S. was to give a couple beeps of the horn on the infrequent occasion when another Mercedes was sighted. The quaint custom died after the cars became more common. Bruce Zoltan Finks [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As I drove home today I had a 190E coming the other way on the 2-way highway I travel. The thought occurred to me: The other types of vehicles that I have been into in my life have been sort of specialized, and as such, when you happen upon another one, you give a nod or a quick friendly gesture (as in the Mopar thumbs-up, or the Harley (or really any motorbike) nod or wave). As our Mercedes' flew past eachother, I felt the urge to give some sort of signal, so I just nodded slightly. Eh, maybe Merz isn't rare enough to do that. Maybe I should reserve it for 123s. I know that when I pass another classic 900 Saab when driving mine, I sometimes get an acknowledgement. I think I just may be an entirely too friendly person. Come to think of it, I know that bus drivers wave at eachother. What about semi-truck drivers? Probably too many of them on the road to do that.

Re: [MBZ] Are these cars worth all the effort
All, I second the notions posted above, and I have one more opinion to add, somewhat related to Marshall's. We have teen drivers in the family, and the diesels have proved to be extremely well suited for them. Think about it - Stable, precise and predictable handling, solid mass, zero to 60 measured in fractions of *minutes*, good fuel economy, trim appearance, all coming together in a vehicle that expresses safety, prudence, utility, moderation, functionality, decency, and other similar values that we want our children to learn and adopt, expecially when peers and society are emphasizing the polar opposite.

Re: [MBZ] valve adjustment wrenches?
The bent wrenches are totally unnecessary. Valve adjustments are easy to do with standard open end wrenches, just use a good light so you can see exactly where to place them. The only thing you might consider is file or grind one down to make it a tad thinner to grab the lower nut.

Uses about a quart of oil every 40 miles and looses oil when parked. My guy says he can't tell where it is coming from without getting into it.

I think the front frame can be straightened. I'll look into starting the project only after everything is settled. But it took the hit.

[MBZ] Cloudy Biodiesel
Bioguys, I conducted a small experiment on the clouded bio in my tank. I drew a small sample and mixed it with some #2 diesel to form B80, and left it out overnight in mid-20s temps. Next morning, the fuel had separated with the #2 diesel layer on top and the clouded biodiesel on the bottom. It would thus appear that the B80 mix might flow acceptably after sloshed around in the tank but if left to settle overnight, the bio might clog the filters in the morning.

I'd have to double-check my records, but I think I lost 2 of 6 plugs within 3 years and 30kmi... an embarassingly short life span. I'm not crazy about some Bosch items that are made off-shore, but in general, I still think Bosch makes decent stuff and should be prety close to Beru. I wouldn't touch Autolite, but I'd take a Bosch over Monark any day. I currently have Bosch Duraterm Chromium in my 603 (special import from Europe - dunno why they won't sell them in the USA), but used the plain ol' Bosch #80006 for my dad's 603 and my old 617 with good results. I've also done the full factory afterglow setup on my 603, with the 60-second maximum afterglow, not the later 180-second max (which I think is a bit excessive). For stuff like oil fiters, though, I'd rather avoid Bosch. In their defense, my buddy just picked up a Bosch oil filter for his VW diesel and it was Made in Germany!

[MBZ] Bodiesel cloud point
Green guys, Some of the WVO biodiesel I have been using lately has been clouding up heavily when the temps drop into the 20s. It forms an emulsion with the clouded fuel in the lower half of the container and clear bio on top. Apparently 2 different feedstocks were present in the WVO. Question: Will blending the bio with petro diesel create a solution with a lower cloud point, or merely dilute the clouded fuel and re-emulsify in the tank?

Blue collar skills seem to be in short supply in Seattle. A local construction union chief was quoted in the newspaper saying they were having serious trouble recruiting apprentices ($45K/yr after 1 year).

George, The odometer can be fixed with super glue. First push out the instrument cluster by reaching up behind the dash. Remove the speedometer/odometer unit from the cluster. You will find that the gray metal toothed gear is slipping on the odometer shaft. To repair, warm the odometer under a lamp and using a very thin xacto blade or similar tool, carefully apply a couple small drops of liquid (not gel) superglue on the shaft precisely where it meets the gear. It's a tight fit but it can be done. Let cool and harden. Keep the gear moving a tiny bit if it wants to adhere to the housing. Reassemble cluster and install. I have performed this procedure on a couple of my cars and it has worked perfectly in both cases without any problems.

Re: [MBZ] 300td heater climate control woes
Rich, If switching on the Defrost mode as David suggests does not product heat from the defroster vents, then you probably need to replace the monovalve insert. $40-$50 from Rusty.

Phila. High's team will display its award-winning car at the auto show. By Akweli Parker Inquirer Staff Writer One of the most impressive cars at this week's Philadelphia Auto Show doesn't come from Japan, Germany or Detroit. It came from the auto shop at West Philadelphia High School. The car - designed and built by students in the school's Academy for Automotive and Mechanical Engineering - delivers more horsepower than some Porsches and gets gas mileage comparable to a Toyota Prius. It runs on fuel made from soybeans. Last year, the car was the surprise winner of a competition for eco-friendly vehicles, the Tour de Sol. The students, hoping to prove their success was no fluke, will enter the car again this year. They'll be back despite an effort by school district budget-cutters last year to eliminate the program. It was saved by an outcry from parents and area auto dealers, who see the program as a source of hard-to-find trained mechanics. The high schoolers' engineering feat may have observers wondering why Detroit hasn't already made such a car. This is off-the-shelf technology, and we're not 180 I.Q. people around here, said Simon Hauger, a physics teacher who is the West Philadelphia automotive program's administrator. We're super low-budget, he said, so automakers should be cranking them out. Who wouldn't want a cool sports car hybrid?

My '90 with the 2.5 engine has a similar front panel, which has to be removed to get the rear (trans) panel off. But that panel is larger and more rectangular, and I seem to recall it has 6 screws holding it up. I'm pretty sure that there aren't any side panels. On my car (with 221k miles), both panels have oil-soaked foam but that doesn't seem to be a problem unless you get obsessed with such things. And the front one only comes off for oil changes (I'm too cheap to do the top-sider thing, as the dealerships now do) as I like to check around, especially oil cooler lines, etc. The rear large panel only comes off every couple of years or so for the 30k transmission service.

Werner, can you do me a favor and take a picture of the main (engine)
panel the next time you remove it for an oil change? The 300D 2.5
panel is almost $100 *cheaper* than the same part for the 1987 300D,
and I'm dying to see what the exact difference is between the two
parts.
