Re: [MBZ] 124 wiper motor question

Yes that is right. Only I took apart the box, cleaned out all the old grease, and put in the Moly grease. I think I did that on the 300D about 10 yrs ago, and it has been troublefree since. I did the 300TE and 300TD before that, but both of them are gone, so I can't testify as to the

Re: [MBZ] 124 wiper motor question

Craig, I don't know, but the size of the wiper blade might be a clue. At some point MB changed the wiper design which allowed for a longer wiper blade. My '87 uses 22 inch blades, if your '90 uses a longer blade (I don't recall if 23 or 24 inches) then it probably has the latter design which is

What is the delineation between early and late models?  I should do this to the girlchild's car.  I think it is a 95, I forget. --R On 2/27/18 9:26 AM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: If I recall correctly, the early models had to be disassembled to get to the gear train. Later models

Re: [MBZ] 124 wiper motor question

If I recall correctly, the early models had to be disassembled to get to the gear train. Later models allowed you to pop the plastic cover off and get right at the gear and rod/bushing. Made it far easier to maintain them. -D > On Feb 27, 2018, at 9:14 AM, Meade Dillon via Mercedes >

Re: [MBZ] 124 wiper motor question

On my 124.193, the mono-wiper assembly was very difficult to open up, lube, and put back together. Basically the entire motor / transmission / linkage assembly has to come apart, so one has to carefully scribe marks to get the timing right during re-assembly. On the later cars, I think there are

Agreed. This is one of the first things I do on cars with the monowiper. It’s a fairly easy job and assures that it doesn’t puke. -D > On Feb 27, 2018, at 1:37 AM, Curley McLain via Mercedes > wrote: > > Uh, the obvious: Lube the mechanism with Moby grease? > >

Re: [MBZ] 124 wiper motor question

Uh, the obvious: Lube the mechanism with Moby grease? The monowiper is fine, but does need the mechanism greased ever 20 years or so. Dwight Giles via Mercedes February 26, 2018 at 8:36 PM Former lister John Peterson ( aka,clam cake Sam @ the Q) has,had wiper

Re: [MBZ] 124 wiper motor question

You need to grease the oscillation mechanism. Remove wiper assembly, then remove the cover -- on some of them, you can remove the allen head screws on the windshield side of the "hub" and lift the cover, off, others need to come out of the car. Once you get the cover off, clean up the
