Re: [MBZ] 116 300SD starter
The click _is_ the starter relay, on the starter. Either the starter is bad, or the wiring to it is feeble. The latter can be diagnosed with a voltmeter. (Feebleness can include the battery itself. The voltmeter is all you need, but of course wielding it properly counts.) Especially do not forget to check the grounds. Because it's clicking, you know the key and neutral safety switches, and the wiring to the starter relay, are all good. You measure: 1) Voltage of battery, both off and with starter 'engaged'. 2) Voltage across starter, both off and with starter 'engaged'. 3) Voltage across each of the 3 (4?) big battery cables, with starter engaged. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Thanks. I may have to pull the air cleaner to get a better view of it. I thought maybe the battery I put in it was low but. It appears to test good. It’s on the charger and will try it again later.

Re: [MBZ] 116 300SD starter
There is no starter relay. You either have connection issues with the battery or ignition switch, or a bad starter.

[MBZ] 116 300SD starter
In moving some cars around this afternoon, I plopped a battery in this 300SD and went to start it and just click. It does not sound like a click from the starter but a click from a relay perhaps. Car ran when parked, yea yea I know. It has been sitting about 6 months and not sure if something is going on with the starter solenoid or something else.

Re: [MBZ] 116 300SD
Mitch, I'm not totally familiar with all the CA, National differences. It's not real easy to put an 81-85 engine in a 78-80 300SD. The 78-80 had different glow plug relays (even within those years, but definitely different than the 81-85). There is also a difference in the transmission vacuum structure so you'd probably have to use the 81-85 tranny also. Battery is located differently so different cables, and on and on. I'm not sure the effort would be worth it. But then after reading a lot of emails on multiple Benz lists, I've come to believe that some people will attempt anything just for the macho buzz of having accomplished it. But to Kaleb, this car is still probably worth more than $1800 in parts. I just had to replace the tranny in my 1980 300SD (around 425,000 miles and just finally quit) and I had a time finding one. I lucked into a low mileage (I hope, not that recyclers would bend the truth) used one at Catalina Recycle in AZ. So far, it's good. And don't think about finding the rebuilt rear half axles, etc. etc. About 3yrs ago the number of parts for the 116 started dwindling on eBay and elsewhere, so if you want to buy it for maybe $1200 and part it out, you would probably make a profit.

As it is now, it will only run when the temp sensor kicks it on which sitting at idle does not cool very good. It sounds undercharged. When sitting at idle, the temperature (AC receiver) ought to go up to the point where the fan kicks on and cools it back down, incidentally improving the cooling.

The bottle doesn't list any precautions, and I've been told that it only acts as a 0 weight oil when cold - so no problemo. It isn't harmful. The amount of bad information and boneheaded opinions on this subject are positively cosmic. The biggest detriment to using M-1 0W-40 is that the viscosity when hot (rated as 40) is actually at the very low end of the range for 40 weight oils (there isn't one value but a rather large range). It's much more like other M-1 xW-30 weight oils than the other M-1 5W-40 weight oils. All of the M-1 oils have additives that will dissolve most sludge and will result in seals that have already swollen to shrink toward their original size. This CAN result in increase oil leaks. In addition, ALL of the Mobil 1 oils have additives that will inhibit leaking at soft seals, BUT it takes time for them to work so it is usual when changing from conventional to Mobil synthetics, for oil leaks (that already exist) to first increase and then decrease over about 5-10kmi. If you remove the M-1 and replace it with some other oil before the additive works, you will of course NOT benefit from the seal swelling effect and the leaks may actually get worse.

Nice, but Buy it Now price is wy too high even with only 78kmiles on her! Maybe $4k is a better range. Still has the original 85 mph speedo. VIN is about 100 higher than my former 300SD.

[MBZ] 116 300SD radiator and Bendix front calipers.
OK Folks, Here's a chance for someone to pocket some of my hard earned cash. The radiator in our 79 300SD has a leak and the left front caliper is frozen up. The radiator may be repairable or maybe not. I am looking to purchase a radiator and 2 Bendix front calipers (LR) used. Anyone wanting to sell said items, please contact me here or privately. My intention is to return the 300SD to daily-driver status and take the Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo (which is for sale for $3000) off the road. This should get us by until I can bring the white 300TD, located in Tn. back to life. I plan on using the wagon as my daily- driver from that point on. I am also offering for sale at this time a 1984 300TD. It has some rust but nothing structural, mostly surface. There is a small leak in the hydraulics of the SLS that I have not yet identified and it needs a driveshaft center bearing to be able to be driven anywhere. 202,000mi engine and trans are real good. $1800 takes it right now, as is where is. I have a few pics that I will send to anyone interested. I am pressed for time and space, something has to go. I have not advertised locally yet. Thanks, Johnny B. I Mac Therefore I am
[MBZ] 116 300SD Axle
Sorry if you've seen this before. I sent it yesterdayand thought it might have slipped off into the either when it seemed the list might have been down for awhile. It looks like my new to me 1980 300SD needs a new right side axle. By the looks of the boots someone has been here before. Is the consensus still to look for a decent used set because rebuilds don't hold up? What vehicles would make suitable donors? Could I swap in the whole rear section of a later 126? Bob DuPuy
