Re: [MBZ] Kevin? you need this: W115 W114
The grill right in front of the windshield. Where the wipers live. Have to remove the wiper arms, undo the five plastic holder pins and gently remove the window gasket lip to remove the screen. With a bright light, shine into the gaping cavern and use a shop vac to suck the muck out and make sure the drain holes are clear. There is a little shelf to ward water away from the fan. Use a thin straw, like from a coffee stir stick to suck a little ATF and after you blindly locate the fan and its shaft, let it leak out onto the shaft. Spin the fan to lube. I like it run for five minutes, just to be sure. On Friday, February 24, 2006, at 05:40 PM, R A Bennell wrote: What air grill are we talking about and where does one put the ATF?

One time about twenty years ago, I looked at a Honda 600 that some kid had gotten from his uncle as a project but never got it running. He wouldn't come down under $300. Most of the paint had been sanded off, and the body was filled and primed, but it didn't look like it had been rusty to start with. Came with a brand new uninstalled starter and some other parts. The kid's parents were moving and he had to get rid of it, but he wasn't going to give it away. I probably would have given him half what he was asking. Next spring, I took a job at a Honda dealer, the owner was somewhat into 600s. One of the 600's sitting behind the shop was the one described above. He told me he paid $50 and they delivered it to him. The moral of this story is to find some way to get the seller to take your contact info and not throw it away, even if you are not able to come close to agreeing on price at the time. I'm sure the week before he moved that kid would have sold me the 600 sedan for $100 and I do the hauling. Mitch.

If that blower works, could be worth hauling. Might even be nice to have alloys It MAY be a wonderful thing to have a running engine also! I'm still trying to figure out if the blower in my car actually works. I turned the three position blower knob and...nuttin! I think I'm going to check FUSES and clean the switch and see if I get any action. Kevin in Hillsboro Oregon 1973 220D
Re: [MBZ] Kevin? you need this: W115 W114
I'm still trying to figure out if the blower in my car actually works. Inside the engine compartment on the firewall near the brake booster is a four-pin plug. Unplug it and you can apply power directly to the blower motor, or at least use a meter to sleuth it out. The four connections are Motor +, Motor -, and the two dropping resistors connected to Motor -. Motor + gets 12V on it, the switch selectively grounds the other three pins. -- Jim

Re: [MBZ] Kevin? you need this: W115 W114
I did spot this one on CL when it was posted on Saturday. I'm planning to wait it out until the guy realizes that $300 is WY too much for that car. There wouldn't be a part of that car other than the engine that isn't either waterlogged, pitted or rusted to pieces by now with all of the glass being broken out of it. I would like to haul it out of there once he reaches the desperation stage and offers it for free. Maybe, I oughta just offer to haul it away and see if he bites.
