IMHO, It's time to change it - at 11 months it's been in there long
enough. There's also a possibility it's dino juice which may allow the

From the technical data book, the 2.2 manual tranny (201.122 chassis) had a
3.23 rar end till 10/85, then a 3.91. Your 2.5 (210.126 chassis) auto has a
3.07 rear end. The manual version had a 3.64

I don't know what to think.
I think you need more miles to loosen up the bearings
more. Then it'll drop some when hot. It's _permissible_
to drop to ~1 Bar at hot idle. It's not _required_ to
drop at all!

I am the same way. But, his old Buick Century wasn't a nice old cheap
car, it was just junk.
Certain of our cars, such as the Frankenheap and Chicken Wagon,

Exactly! I've blocked off a whole week for the operation. The only way to
make the project worse would be to throw in an engine (third one) swap to
boot. (We know where there's a 2.5 turbo in a 201 with a dead tranny that's
tempting).

to the local NAPA, where there's a big sign saying Hydraulic Hose
Repair While You Wait---I live out in the boonies, so this is tractor
country. But they looked at me like I was nuts, saying We can't do
anything with those crimped-on fittings; you have to buy a whole new
line.

I'll take a close look at the throttle system in the manual car to see
if
there's a damper in there somewhere - like the manual 240D had. That
seems
likely to address the bucking, which our 240D did since the damper was
completely worn out.
There should be, and it makes a difference. I added
My M103 in the '91 300E has the opposite symptom - it drops to nearly 0 when
hot at idle. I used 15W50 when I changed the oil, thinking it might change
the idling pressure, but it didn't. I remember hearing (here) that the M103
is known for this behavior, but I don't remember anything else. There
your sender is bad, it should drop to about half.

I suppose it could be. But, the needle does climb to three when I start the
car, so I would guess that means it is working.

yea, thats pretty typical. It does not take much to drop the guage to
zero or close to it at idle. The sending unit is a little flaky, but
not by much.
