Re: [MBZ] Jittery W123 speedo - LUBRICATION
I like the empirical method. Swap in another speedo, observe and react accordingly.

I'm probably wrong but it is my understanding that things can't be lubricated. Can, and have been. I had a 'shrieker' that responded well to lubricating the bearing in the head. -- Jim ___ 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

Was it jittery at low speeds as well, Jim? On Fri, Mar 20, 2009 at 9:29 AM, Jim Cathey j...@windwireless.net wrote: I'm probably wrong but it is my understanding that things can't be lubricated.

Re: [MBZ] Jittery W123 speedo - LUBRICATION
Was it jittery at low speeds as well, Jim? I don't remember, actually. But you can lube them, and except on a 107 (which mine was) they're fairly easy to get out so it couldn't hurt. -- Jim ___ 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
