Re: [MBZ] 210 parking brakes

I pulled the cable housing loose from the backing plate when I was working on the wheel bearing on my W163. Just grabbed the cable end with pliers and yanked, and it pulled the housing back into place. Mitch. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list

Metro would need a tiny diesel, like a VW TDI or a 1.6L Clean Turbo Diesel (CTD). Unfortunately, General Motors, after totally failing to advertise or try to sell the 1.6 CTD for three years, has announced that it won't be available in 2020 Equinox or Terrain (and they already announced there

Just because its sideways mounted in a VW doesn't mean it can't be inline elsewhere. In fact the '99.5-05 Passats had the engine mounted inline. Pretty weird that VW made both and weird that they had an inline, front drive... Lots of people put TDI engines in lots of things... -Curt On

One other thing to note, it the peach part post, the part the cable attaches to seems to be somewhat flush with the actuator body facing outward where as mine the leaver is pulled in.  The shoes should be resting against the big tab at the bottom.  On mine with one shoe resting on the tab the

But isn't a 603/606 a little heavy for one of those? I think a modern aluminum 250-300hp four cylinder would be nice in those, but wrecked Mustangs and Camaros with good drivetrains keep selling for well north of $10k, and Malibus come with the wrong transmission. Mitch. > On July 17, 2019

Re: [MBZ] The $500E300 did its job tonight

How heavy is it? I was going to make fun of it at first but the engine in a 201 is quite substantial. For a little diesel sports car I'd look to a TDI. The old VE engines like my '98 had can be souped up to 150hp which doesn't sound like too much but remember its a 4 cylinder 1.9l diesel. Very

I need a W210 shifter if you part it out. They’re always gone at the P here when I’ve gone to look. My lockout solenoid on the shifter on my 98 wagon is dead, so I can shift whenever, wherever. -D > On Jul 17, 2019, at 2:01 PM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > wrote: > > Pull the engine,

Pull the engine, transmission, computers, shifter, and all associated wiring harnesses. Would go nice in a W124, W201, or W210. If not a W210, just get an aftermarket intercooler. A W124/201 with 24v turbo diesel and electronic overdrive transmission would be sort of unique. Mitch.

The motor is worth money. Save it. It will drop into any w124 300d, ideally a 1995. Intercooler piping needs some customization. How many miles are on it? I need one for when the current one blows up. On Tue, Jul 16, 2019, 9:21 AM Floyd Thursby via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: >
