We have found a really nice looking oil filter made in Thailand for the

I have cut them open and they look identical to the Mann, Hengst

amazing. Here are the

I just ordered two liters of Power Steering Fluid and a filter from
Rusty. My power steering fluid is BROWN (like oil). Who knows how long
it has been in there. I hope that is enough fluid to change it out.

Can't recall 126s, but on my 123 it only took .5L to do a full flush of the
steering box. Don't think it should take more than a liter to do the whole
thing on a 126.

It depends (don't you love that phrase). However, it does depend on a
lot of things. Assuming belts are properly installed, the environment
will be the major factor in the life span. Here in Houston (and I
suspect other major metropolitan areas), the ozone wrecks havoc on
rubber parts. Belts
There were some early attempts to use diesels on early aircraft. I think
they were too heavy. IIRC Packard manufactued one.

The total volume of power steering fluid in your 126 is 1.3

I have an uncle who was a pro mechanic. He says that belts should last a
long time but you need to apply belt dressing to them periodically if you
expect them to do so. They get dried out and glazed but the belt dressing
will prevent that if done properly and regularly.

They are coming back, one manufacture is thinking about Mercedes CDI.

Question is, are you willing to risk your reputation with these cheap
filters. Just because they look similar does not mean that the quality is
the same. Personally I pay a little extra to get genuine filters.
Also are you willing to guarantee these filters?

Back in the early days of WWII a diesel-powered Messerschmidt 109 was captured
by the Allies, and the propulsion assembly was exhibited at engineering schools
around the U.S.

I wonder how much re-engineering they would have to do to use the Mercedes
CDI for aviation purposes?
Tom, thanks for that link. That is well worth browsing, especially if you
are interested in radial engines. There is also a page devoted to Norberg
radials made for pumps.

I also do not know how he could guarantee these filters. What exactly
would that mean? For example, if you run into problems with your old motor
with 300K plus miles on it, how are you going to prove it was the fault of
the filter? You can talk oil analysis all you want but I would not think it
