[MBZ] 190 2.2 t-stat

2008-01-08 Thread tony . bateman
I'm about to replace the thermostat on my little buddy 190d 2.2 manny Billy
won't warm up past 50c. I call him billy because he climbes like a goat, this 
being my first diesel (I'm hooked already) I'm amazed how hard it is to lug 
him down, I've done lots of t-stats on Detroit v8s right up front on top.
when I locate this one I plan to open the drain plug down by the tow hook,
drain the radiator of yellow juice, replace the tstat (with valve on top)and 
refill the reservoir. My question is vapor lock do I need to worry about 
starting up with empty radiator (full reservoir)what am I missing? Why does
everything get more complicated the older I get. The more I learn the more I 
realize how little I know. Thnx in advance, Tony

[MBZ] 85 280SL

2007-12-30 Thread tony . bateman
I just ran over and took a look at this SL, looks good
But I'd have to find/put engine in I guess, probably not worth the 
hastle but I like the six and the bumpers on a euro. I figure
3k or less for the car, and $2500 for another engine installed
5-5.5k for a sweet little SL for the summer.

[MBZ] 85 190d 2.2 manny

2007-12-15 Thread tony . bateman
I just got this little guy a month ago after owning various gassers
and its a real treat to drive, one question I have, the temp gauge 
doesn't get past 60c and oil pres pops right up to 3 and stays there.
These are probably trivial but I've taken an interest in this car
and will be asking lots of stuff. Thanks in advance for any help. Tony
