Ok thanks Dan. I used to be registered for that, but at one point it kicked
me out or wanted to start charging me money, at which point I stopped using
it and forgot the password etc.

77 is perfect. I will try it.

Thanks again.

Re: [MBZ] And I Just Closed the Deal on This 1995 E300D

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Fan shroud for my 1995 E300D 124.131 should be a 124 500 02 55:

http://mb-teilekatalog.info/view_SubGroupAction.php?lang=E=BM=1=FG=15V=124131=50=015

Looks like a whopping $77.00 from Mercedes:

http://www.mbpartsworld.com/p/__/FAN-SHROUD/7520225/1245000255.html

The EPC is online and readily available to anyone.  It’s a little weird to 
navigate in if you don’t have a VIN, but if you know your type number (124.131, 
for example) it’s not too bad.  Go here:

http://mb-teilekatalog.info

Click on the US flag at the top to get into English for the language.

Click on the “Car” button under “Assortment class".  If you want to look at 
engine, transmission, or steering parts, click on the appropriate button under 
the “Maj. assy” heading.  Everything else is under “Model designation”.  You’ll 
have to do some poking around to find your car, engine or transmission 
depending on what it is.  The buttons under these designations are clear about 
their contents.  For instance, my E300D is under the “E” button, not “300” or 
“300E”.

Poke around and you’ll figure it out.

Dan can you use your vin to get a fan shroud part number for your 95 300d?
I need to put one into the retrofit om606 in the 87.

Alternative is a low profile SPAL fan triggered on a thermostat of some
type.

Cant let the perfect be the enemy of the good. But isnt the drivetrain from
wiltons 124 still lurking about? That could be used for parts or a nice
motor.

I doubt any yard will sell a catalytic converter.  I tried to buy one from our 
local LKQ, no joy.  Very frustrating.  $1600 or more from MB for a new part.

I suspect that the non-turbo front pipes with cat from a 210 car can be adapted 
to fit without too much work.

Not in my neighborhood.

I appreciate your concern.

While there may be some blow by, the engine is fine.  Compression checked out 
across all cylinders.

Again, I didn’t buy this to be a Martha car.  It’s going to be run into the 
ground.  Not everything I buy needs to be perfect, and I know what this car’s 
issues are going in, so nothing is a surprise.  This will replace the 
Tommymobile, which has served it’s purpose well.

I think my point being that you could have got a car without a seemly worn out 
engine for that price or less.

Settle down.  It’s a $2k car and it’s not perfect.  I’m well aware of the cat 
issue and the exhaust.  Again, not something I’m concerned about.

This is going to be a beater within a year, believe me. I don’t care what it 
sounds like or how much blowby it has.  I did not buy it to make it a Martha 
car.  I bought it for the oldest son to run into the ground.

When it shows up it will get the full on Martha treatment, the front bumper 
strip will get addressed, the exhaust will get sealed if it’s leaking at the 
flex, the vacuum issues will be taken care of so it shifts smoothly, and all 
fluids and filters will get replaced.

That will be the high point of its existence, I suspect.

Dude you are going to need a whole new exhaust probably if you don't want it to

Re: [MBZ] And I Just Closed the Deal on This 1995 E300D

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

Now that I am looking at it closer I have to say for the money you could have 
found a much better example. There are 2 big red flags for me. First of all the 
cat being deleted. Like max says the exhaust will not sound right at all. 
That's going to be a major annoyance. The big big big huge huge huge red flag 
is the bit about the oil breather hose re routed with catch can? Wtf? Every 606 
I have owned has had almost zero blow by. The only reason for this "upgrade" is 
if it's blowing a crazy amount of oil out. Do we have any additional photos? I 
am very worried for Dan. This does not seem like a good deal at all, especially 
since it's such a run of the mill car.

Well, I see a couple things, but the price is great and they are really
nice cars when sorted out.

The muffler / catalyst delete troubles me.  Mine sounded awful with no cat,
and not much better with an aftermarket cat.  The exhaust system is really
tuned for the best sound.

No discussion of the AC evaporator, leaking or not leaking or replaced.

What the heck is "valve cleaning"?
