Yes, correct on the compressor. Upgrade kits for installing a Sanden are
out there (check on Peach Parts forum, I think there is a guy there selling

Is it possible to get the regular GM compressor and rotate some part (the
front cover?) so it will work "upside down"? Worth looking into.
I will add that this car was never "converted" to R134 it still has the

Haven't seen any reported transmission issues so far, just flywheel issues on
stick shifts.
Actual engine issues seem to be unheard of, all the failures are in the post
2010 style diesel emissions controls.
The 2017-2019 aluminum block 1.6L has had a lot less emissions control system
issues
Detroit engine name system is:
20 = Number of cylinders
V = V configuration
149 = Cubic inches of displacement PER cylinder...
One big honking engine fuel burn would be in Gallons per Mile
rather than Miles per Gallon... but you could "roll coal" better than
any of the other bubbas at
The dickweed quotient is a lot lower than I thought it would be, however, based
on some of the stuff you guys have been posting. For the most part the members
seem to be pretty decent folk and not at all goofy.

Sun Valley doesn’t show anything for that application, but for other models of
the 722.6xx of that vintage they want $2500 exchange with a new torque
converter.

Looks like a 722.6 so nothing too exotic, but i wonder if the 4matic
particular format is different from a run-of-the-mill 722.6
i vaguely recall some discussion of this in the list?

Time to create the wreck in reverse.
Unbolt the hood, once you get it open, Pull the front grill and bumper, so
you can get to the frame structure and have a good look for wrinkled paint
[indicates frame bends, if any] Drill 3/8 hole where the sheet metal needs
pulled forward, put a metal plate
The FB group is full of excellent knowledge from Alex, a world-renowned
123 expert who has watched a lot of youtube vids

They put a diesel in the Colorado/Canyon also. Unless you're into diesel
pickups you've probably never heard of it...

My wife filled up our W123 300D with gasoline. She was able to drive to the
neighbor's,
and called me. Eventually I figured out the problem, and drove it the rest of
the way home,
it would run but wouldn't idle. I

Doesn't look too bad, wonder what would be involved in sourcing a 4matic
tranny

Hard to find fault with this one. Current $12k bid price is a bargain.
