Re: [MBZ] Glow plug conversion Q.
Curt, et al. My olde '81 Rabbit had a copper strap connecting all 4 plugs (insulated between) that went to the (puny) timer/relay. Only benefit of separate wires is even -ish volts-drop-per-meter for each GP and maybe easier fault location. TTFN Fred Moir Lynn MA Diesel preferred.

I've bought the proper pencil type big base plugs from Rusty so I wonder if I can swap them in now and get to updating the relay later. My system has a solenoid (big relay) at the firewall. A beefy wire runs from that to the rearmost plug. Another beefy (10ga?) wire runs from that to the second to rearmost plug etc. all the way to the front where the wire chain stops at the first plug. Theres a ground strap there but its not connected to anything. What do I need to go to the newer plugs, can I just swap them into this system?

Re: [MBZ] Weird trans issue - '78 240D
Hi, Curt, et al. By my experience, non-release of clutch is usually something like the disk not sliding on the input shaft, (rust/dust-filled-oil-goo), or the T/O bearing is getting tight on the shaft from the same stuff, or dry seizure of the pilot bearing, (ball, or sintered bronze/brass). The fact that is is worse cold would seem to point to goo. Low clutch may be worn paatz, T/O, Cover fingers or worn/Mal-adjusted cylinders. What is the history of this slow onset? Dwight?

Most times I just start in reverse to avoid the grind but lately its been cold enough I need to scrape the windshield. Once I've driven enough for the engine to be warm it'll shift in to reverse no problem... The clutch engages very low on the pedal throw compared with other MBs I've driven. Dwight had mentioned his mechanic said the car needed a clutch but I can't see why other than *maybe* it doesn't disengage well... Does the '78 have the same trans as my '83?

Re: [MBZ] Weird trans issue - '78 240D
Curt. Goo is usually from leaky seals, either engine rear main or trans input shaft seal added to dust, asbestos/ceramic/organic or just plain old MBZ dirt. Some transmissions have no input seals, just an oil slinger. The clutch slave may also be moist from failing seals and dribbling into the clutch housing, though you would see falling M/C fluid levels and a low pedal. Cure is to remove trans and Stare and compare, coupled with a rigorous cleaning of all parts. Someone else's comment about Hypoid oil in the trans is worth checking out, as it would not be beyond the realm of some Furrin kaar eggspurtz to screw things up by using the knowledge gained under the local shade tree!

Re: [MBZ] Weird trans issue - '78 240D
Phillip. The clutch operates by pinching the clutch disc between the flywheel and the clutch cover. The clutch cover has heavy springs or a spring disc to perform the pinching. when the clutch pedal is pushed down the clutch cover retracts slightly from the clutch disc thus releasing pressure on one side of the disc, the disc then slides slightly along the splined transmission input shaft away from the flywheel, thus releasing the pinching of the clutch friction disc. With me so far? IF the friction disc does not slide it will drag on the flywheel face. The pedal travel is a purely mechanical feature dependent upon the geometry of the assorted mechanical and hydraulic parts. We are entitled to our version of the truth, even if it is wrong.

Not so? Not so. For the gunk to cause it to not disengage fully, the pedal would not move all the way. The driver with his foot on the pedal can supply _way_ more force to push past gunk than the springs can to return. Thus it's the return/engage, not the release that the gunk will interfere with. -- Philip ___ 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 ___ 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

Hi, All. I'm using Norton IS on this 2.4ghz Pentium with 2gb memory, not a fast machine, the av runs in the back ground with no apparent slow down, and no virii since installation. The previous series of Norton was a dog, so AVG was tried, much improvement. It, however, after a few updates/upgrades, was slower than the Norton it replaced. Tried Avast, not too bad, lacking some of the better features of a higher end program. Gave up and went back to Norton, the newer system seems to run mostly in the back ground, invisibly. I'm happy, for now. YMMV Fred Moir Lynn MA On 9/5/2010 1:05 PM, Rick Knoble wrote: Several thoughts on the subject. Consumer versions of Symantec Norton are resource hogs as someone else noted.

I'm thinking tire pressure so this morning I checked, 40psi all around. Sidewall max says 44 so we're still safe there. I pulled the fronts down to 36 and took a test drive which seemed to show some improvement but its still not right. Rear shocks are new as are all the rear links.

These are 14 wheels I forget the exact tire size but the sidewalls are big Maybe this afternoon I'll go all the way down to factory pressure and see what happens. On my other 190D I was running a bit above factory (factory is 28/32 I think I was running 30/34) which seemed to no hurt anything.

Re: [MBZ] A VW for Dan
Alles.

Maybe so, but, it would take a while to get to that speed!

Hi, all. Car:- 190DT '87. Problem:- Viscous fan. I have a fan center from an M103 that fits into the metal fan blade assembly and bolts up to the hub for a OM602. Only caveat is that the control spring has a label on it that indicates reverse (from OM602) rotation. Is there any good reason to observe this rotational direction? I'm assuming that MBZ engineers are much smarter than yours truly and did this for a good reason. Ideas? TIA.

[MBZ] 602 Rings
Hi, All. Are there any reliable products for freeing up stuck rings? This is the '87 190DT from Conn. and, though I have it running, it runs on 4 cylinders only. There is pressure enough to operate the injector on the dead cyl. (tried two). The head and intake were worked on recently, very clean etc., though the assembly of the engine leaves something to be desired. Small parts in the trunk, exhaust not bolted up properly, missing rear engine hoist bracket, clip for fuel heater connection missing, etc. This car must have been inside for most of the last 12 years and only spent a winter or two outside. The engine seems to be OK except that it sat outside for at least a year and I just wondered if the rings became stuck during that time. Marvel Mystery Oil would do no harm and may free up the rings, however there may be better or more effective treatments available, if only I were smart enough to know which they are. Hence my supplication to the genii of this list.

Whatever that is called I need to fix that bit of wiggle and I'm sure I can fix it for less than the $450 the shop wanted to fix it for.

Re: [MBZ] Conn 190DT Update.
Curt. Have not had time/courage to restart it, yet. I'll have to do more checking as there is no history available. Looking at it, the head is clean and freshly rebuilt looking, the turbo is pristine, there is no coolant in it and the belt trensioner is unhooked from the shock. I have no idea if it was started after the head work, or if it was started and shutoff in a hurry and sold to some sucker from Lynn MA! After the surprise the last time, I'm checking very carefully.

Re: [MBZ] Conn 190DT Update.
Walt. Thanks. I would have clapped a board over the intake but could not wrestle the bloody pipe off, cutting the fuel line seemed quicker and it did stop. In retrospect, I should have checked everything first. I'm getting too old for this S**t!

Re: [MBZ] Conn 190DT Update.
Mitch, et al. True. That presupposes that I was expecting the engine to run away. It was one heart-stopping surprise and a mad scramble to shut it off with a non functioning shut off. When it ran against the limit at X thousand rpm, it was exciting, peripherally, whilst attempting to shut it off, I heard the engine go up another 500 rpm or so, that was fraught with explosive possibilities! The next attempt will be under more controlled conditions. (I Hope!). Let's see:- Co2 extinguisher, check. Hard rubber ball, check. Working stop lever, check. Freed up rack, check. Fuel line slicing knife, check. Ability to run the quarter in 0.2 secs, Ummm, nope.
