On your 124, you can just completely eliminate the engine fan and just have the aux fan come on. It is more than enough to keep the engine cool. Sent from my iPhone ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To

It quit working at all. Brushes were el wornouto. Shot. Nothing left but the springs. Armature looks very worn. I opted for a new motor via Mr. Q, who comes up with a gizmo for all needs. The old motor is available for the cost of shipping if anyone wants one to rebuild. Why are you

Did I miss any other source of lockout for the starter? I don't think so, there's not much there. Just that and all the wiring. You can use a jumper on the fender-mount block to trip the starter more-or-less directly to make sure it's not the starter itself. Maybe. -- Jim

87 300D Finished up the 124 fan project today. Turned the key to start and got glow, but no starter. The car has not been run since May 25. Worked just fine before that. I did not hear any relays clicking with the key on. SO, I thought maybe the battery was down from the parasitic

I used a kit from Mercedes-Source which included a tool. The tool was the box end of a 10 mm wrench welded on to a shaft and bent to fit so you can pound on the fan hub to remove. Attached are a couple pictures. The working end is about two inches after the bend, the other about one inch. Max

I have the fan out. The instructions from the nameless forum are pretty good, but don't tell you where the two hidden bolts are for the wiper unit. I have been trying to punch the shaft of the old motor out of the plastic fans using a long punch and a 20 oz framing hammer. When that did

Next question: The CD does not have anything about lubricating the monowiper mechanism. On the back of the cover, there are 2 large screws and 3 smaller screws. Which one should come out to remove the cover for cleaning and lube? I thought maybe the 2 big ones, but the cover didn't seem

IIRC, which is not likely, both the 2 large screws and the three small ones have to come out to get the cover off. Yes, the arm had to be moved several times to get to them. pay very close attention to where everything lines up for re-assembly. I don't have any suggestions for the fan problem ---

Ja, I figured everyone is in the yard or working on their cars. I did figure out the in/out mechanism. The big screws DO stay in place. To remove the cover, first you have to take off the 17MM nut and washer on the underside, then remove the steel clip on the shaft, then remove the crank

Hi, All. Well, today I went to the JY and proceeded to pull an heater fan for my 201. Brain fart city! Took one out of a 300E (can you say 124?). Any one want a good Fan motor assy. with porcupine for $40? On another note, this afternoon I briefly saw a BMW Vixen motorhome. Odd looking
