Re: [MBZ] how to hold my crankshaft

John - I decided to make my own special tool as I have access to a small machine shop at work. I took a 4 X 6 piece of 3/8 aluminum plate and drilled it to match the hub bolts then bored out a 2 dia hole in the center of the bolt holes to accomodate the big crankshaft end bolt and the big

Re: [MBZ] What about tach? Was: Capacitors for Speedo

Allan - Before you buy anything or try to repair the amp first measure the resistance of the pickup coil. If you unscrew the amplifier you then measure the resistance between pins 7 9, if I remember correctly. The resistance should be fairly low like 200 ohms, again from memory. My pickup coil

Re: [MBZ] Low oil pressure?

Bill - I guess you have checked the easy stuff. O-rings on the oil filter bolt, proper filter, proper oil viscosity? It is also pretty easy to drop the steel portion of the oil pan to see if there is loose stuff in there that may be being sucked into and blocking the the oil pump inlet screen.

Re: [MBZ] I found one!

Kevin - The motor runs, but the seat doesn't go anywhere. likely the actuator cable has worn out ends slipping or sometimes they are coming out of the socket on the motor Also, the power seat switch knobs are missing leaving only little pieces to grab onto, if the switch isn't

Re: [MBZ] W116 servo unit does not run after swopping

Joopster - I think that your system is enough like my '81 107 that I can say that if the blower fan comes on it is probably not due to a lack of system vacuum. If your old servo had a cracked case it may be that your servo amp is blown or just that your 2 Amp fuse for the system is open. If you

Re: [MBZ] 5.0 euro high idle, what controls it

Kaleb - On my '81 380 it is controlled by an engine temperature sensor mounted in the rear of the right cyl head, but on some of the later years it was controlled by oil temperature and the sender was down by the oil filter. Do you have a 126 or 107 CD manual. If so I can direct you to the

Re: [MBZ] OT: Genset

Actually there is quite a bit of water vapor that comes out of the tailpipe in most any engine. The water that you see dripping out of your tailpipe each morning is not from condensation, it is water vapor, a by product of the combustion process. When the engine is warmed up, the water is still
