Re: [MBZ] Prices on parts
i really have no set business hours, gerry, beyond usually being around from around 10 to 6ish on weekdays as i can talk to suppliers and ship then. i haven't responded to your email as i have no one to talk to about removeable diode assembly. i'm presuming you don't mean the voltage regulator in which case i'm wondering where one would even get such item. i couldn't figure that out till monday as i'd have to see if it can be special ordered from bosch but it's a request i've never seen before as most people don't rebuild their own alternator, but at most will just replace a bad voltage regulator and otherwise just the whole unit an aftermarket hueco glow relay is 105 bucks based on the pricing scheme i have for you guys. they seem adequate and tend to be made in germany (i can't actually check that until monday) but they aren't the read deal ones mercedes uses, which are hella and $179 the vacuum actuator is probably going to be genuine and $35 as i haven't seen any oem or decent aftermarket ones around in a while, but maybe i can find one monday air cleaner mounts that are not APA/URO about 2 to 2.50 each. instrument cluster bulbs are under a buck each.

Re: [MBZ] Prices on parts
Not knowing the official name and too lazy to look it up, I described the voltage regulator as a removable diode assembly. It's the little gizmo held on with two screws that can be replaced without removing the alternator. I can get a hueco glow relay for $85.xx plus $5.xx frt elsewhere, but your price is close enough considering. ... Here's a corrected order; all for '83 300D: 1 Hueco glow plug relay 1 Voltage regulator for Bosch alternator 6 Air cleaner mounts 20 Instrument cluster bulbs (I'll order the vacuum actuator with a later order since I want to check the condition of the others which may need replacing as well.)

It's not really a bad job. You want a soft faced hammer (plastic) to drive the pulley off it you need to, you don't want to dent it. You may not need, to, it's been a long time since I replaced one.

Re: [MBZ] 'Nother Sondy Tale
Of course, the column-of-twos dog arrangement is occasionally, but rarely, used in Greenland. The fan allows each dog to zig and zag a bit to pick its way amongst rough ice for the most efficient path, and it reduces the chances of more than one dog at a time falling into a lead (open space or crack) in the ice. 'Also enhances the quicker and easier recovery of just one dog from the water instead of several if they are pulled into the water one-after-the-other in a column of twos. BTW, I'm certainly no musher - far from it; merely recounting some of my observations and a bit of info gleaned from several mushers in Greenland and some reading.

Re: [MBZ] Diagnosis Confirmation, Please, now HELP?
Here is where we're at: I have the pulley off and can see the snap ring that holds the clutch coil on. However, I don't have enough room to get a snap ring pliers into the center of the coil to get at the snap ring. I have a right angle set of snap ring pliers, but they're not long enough to reach. I see a set at HF that has removable bits but it doesn't look like they are that long. I may go that route and see if I can fabricate a set of bits that will reach into the recess. It's a damned tight spot to work in, and there's very little room to maneuver tools around, not to mention I'm having to work with a light and mirror at the same time. If it wouldn't be such a PITA, I would pull the radiator so I could get a straight shot at it. Suggestions, PLEASE!!

Re: [MBZ] Diagnosis Confirmation, Please, now HELP?
I actually attempted to make some new bits for the snap ring pliers using 10 gauge finishing nails, whihc are just the right size. Unfortunately, the pliers just won't hold them tight due to the length and the amount of leverage being imposed on them (this snap ring is really tight!) I have two directions I can go at this point: 1.) Retreat and reassemble everything, or; 2.) Drain the cooling system and pull the radiator to see if I can get enough clearance to get at it straight on. This one is iffy. I looked at possibly dropping the compressor so I could get a straight shot at the front from below by just letting it loose and allowing the front of it to tip down, but it appears that there is a solid line on the back that is bolted t the engine and near impossible to get at.

Were you not able to wrap the extensions tightly enough with wire? Would some notches filed in backsides of the plier tongues help to secure the wrapping wire a little better?

I actually attempted to make some new bits for the snap ring pliers using 10 gauge finishing nails, whihc are just the right size. Unfortunately, the pliers just won't hold them tight due to the length and the amount of leverage being imposed on them (this snap ring is really tight!) I have two directions I can go at this point: 1.) Retreat and reassemble everything, or; 2.) Drain the cooling system and pull the radiator to see if I can get enough clearance to get at it straight on. This one is iffy. I looked at possibly dropping the compressor so I could get a straight shot at the front from below by just letting it loose and allowing the front of it to tip down, but it appears that there is a solid line on the back that is bolted t the engine and near impossible to get at. Anybody with suggestions Im so damned close to this and I just can't get it! Aaaargh!!!

Here is where we're at: I have the pulley off and can see the snap ring that holds the clutch coil on. However, I don't have enough room to get a snap ring pliers into the center of the coil to get at the snap ring. I have a right angle set of snap ring pliers, but they're not long enough to reach. I see a set at HF that has removable bits but it doesn't look like they are that long. I may go that route and see if I can fabricate a set of bits that will reach into the recess. It's a damned tight spot to work in, and there's very little room to maneuver tools around, not to mention I'm having to work with a light and mirror at the same time. If it wouldn't be such a PITA, I would pull the radiator so I could get a straight shot at it. Suggestions, PLEASE!!

Re: [MBZ] Diagnosis Confirmation, UPDATE
I considered that, but one of the hard lines that goes around the back of the compressor is bolted up in a way I don't think I can get at it. Thanks for the suggestion, though. I relented and drained the cooling system and pulled the radiator. Major PITA, but only took about 15 minutes. I knew that would be the case just as it is with 123 and 126 chassis', too, as they all come out in a jiffy. Just a mess I didn't want to deal with, but Took a couple of tries with the snap ring pliers but I got it out. Drum roll, please... The ground wire was broken on the clutch coil right behind the pulley. wah, wah, wah No worries, as there is no way we could have seen it without pulling everything off anyway, but at least it confirms that the clutch coil, was, in fact, not working. So I'm taking a respite to recover from my frustrations and in an hour or so I'll start putting everything back together. More as I know it, and thanks to all who offered advice and suggestions.

Re: [MBZ] 1984 Mercedes 300D mono valve
Good advice from Wilton. The monovalve stops water flow when energized if it's working right. I fixed mine twice; once when it was cruded up (my fault) and once when the diaphragm tore. In all probability, the insert is all that needs to be replaced and it's an easy job. Funny story. Had my 82 300SD in a local AC shop to top up the R12. The tech had the engine idling forever before he finally got started. After adding some R12, all the temps and pressures looked good but it was not blowing ice cold, not by a long shot. The tech played with it a long time but it never got better. When he finally shut off the engine it wouldn't restart. After charging and jumping he got it started again and I left. Turns out he ran down the battery (idling with the AC on and the blower on high) so far the battery voltage got pretty low. So low that the monovalve let hot water run through the heater core, heating the AC air. After I got out on the road with enough RPMs to charge the battery it was fine, and has been ever since. -Original Message- From: Mercedes [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of WILTON Sent: Sunday, September 15, 2013 7:02 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] 1984 Mercedes 300D mono valve Get the monovalve repair kit from Gary, fix it and enjoy BLOWING ICE COLD again.

[MBZ] monark VS bosch injector nozzles
I saw the discussion about Jaime's new monarks, etc. As i understand it, the Monark nozzles are the only ones still made in Germany the new Bosch come from India now, i am told. I've also been told that the Bosh factory rebuilds have inconsistent pop pressures and bad spray patterns but i don't know that personally. The WVO folks swear by the Monark.

[MBZ] ChowdaQ 2013
