Re: [MBZ] Replacing W140 Motor Mounts

Sharpie marks with anything I replace on the car with the mileage and date, when space permits. If you pul a filter on one of my cars it will have the mileage it was installed at and the date. And it gets entered in the database with date, time, cost and part information. Example from the

Re: [MBZ] Replacing W126 Motor Mounts

The W126 chassis is a little different from the W140, but not much. I can’t recall if the lower bolts are regular 13mm heads or if they had socket head cap screws like the W123 - I’m sure someone here knows. Definitely do one side at a time - it makes it a lot easier to align things. The W126

Re: [MBZ] OT: Practical solar application

My bad. I'm guessing that is because of heating issues which would be minimal outside, but I get it. I might even have known that at some point. The single wire stuff is tmmw or something like that, it has a higher temp rated insulation. --R (sent from my miniPad) On Sep 3, 2015, at 6:25

[MBZ] Replacing W126 Motor Mounts

I simply wrote a check to the indie to replace 'em in my SDL several years ago. 'Not as good a feeling of accomplishment, but certainly made the car more enjoyable. 'Same for the 124 when I got it 11 years ago. I normally would have done 'em myself, but it was already getting a lot harder

Re: [MBZ] Thinking about bidding on this

Judging from the rocker panels, I'd call that terminal rust. Also has signs of a cheap paint job. Its wet in the photos, which is a always a big red flag. Why is the air cleaner off the car that should run and drive? Interior is baked. And the seats were restuffed with something other than

Re: [MBZ] Replacing W140 Motor Mounts

The lumbar bladder, NOT the orthopedic one that has like 5 different sections, is a piece of cake to replace. You can do it through the back cover, which comes off with a couple of screws at the bottom and then just pulling down to remove it. With the back cover off you can see the old one.

Re: [MBZ] Replacing W126 Motor Mounts

OM617, right? I think the first step is to loosen the top and bottom bolts on each mount, then raise the engine by jack with a big piece of wood supporting the oil pan. There may be heat shields and stuff (exhaust?) to remove prior. From foggy memory, get the new mounts top bolt going first,

Re: [MBZ] Replacing W126 Motor Mounts

I've got to replace the mounts on one of the SDs. I vaguely recall you have to put a jack under the oil pan or somewhere to lift it a bit, then do something to get the old ones out and the new in. Any memories of that job, anyone? I have a pair in the garage somewhere that came with the

Wow. Doing this job for the second time, this time on youngest son's S420. I bought the special wrench for the top mount bolt, which costs about $15. Best $15 I've spent (so far) when it comes to special tools. Got the passenger side done in about 20 minutes. The driver's side is next, and

Thanks! I hoping to put an end to the pneumatic issues that I have discovered that appear to have plagued this car for years. I spent a while studying all of the records last night, including the complete history from the MB dealership where it was purchased and maintained for the first ten

Re: [MBZ] Replacing W126 Motor Mounts

As memory serves, you also need to disconnect the little anti shake shock absorbers near the oil pan. All of my mount screws were metric socket head set screws so you'll want quality metric allen hex bits for your 3/8 inch ratchet set. Be sure the allen hex goes all the way into the screw

Possibly, but even today's electric aircraft carry two people for an hour. This one carries one for 10 minutes. However, the cost is WAY less than the commercial aircraft. I'm more interested in an electric Cri-Cri myself . . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkEHIv1o7u8
