The tone ring on the rear half shaft axle rusts off. PITA to change from what 
I've seen.

Dimitri, Dwight.
FWIW.
If the lever is down the rack is in the shutoff position and will not
supply fuel at all.
The vacuum shut-off device could be stuck, maybe? (I have a spare).
The pump side plate, when removed, will let you access the rack.
I have an OM602 injection pump with 90k mi. that you may have.
Confused yet?

2023-07-26 Thread Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes
The 1990 300D 2.5 Turbo has been sitting for 5 days and now it won’t start. It 
glows just fine so I think it’s a fuel issue. The injector pump shut off lever 
is in the depressed position. That doesn’t seem right. I can pull it up but it 
just flops back down. If I hold it up while someone else cranks it still won’t 
start. After many cranking attempts it almost started a few times but I was 
afraid to drain the battery or kill the starter so I stopped. Not sure what’s 
going on. It actually did this to me a couple of months ago after the car sat 
for a month while I sorted the relay ground issue but it eventually did start. 
So it seems like when the car sits it develops this problem. Maybe it’s an air 
leak at the injection pump?

Good deal, although I rarely see these (when separated from their car) for

There's so little painted areas on these it's easy to have someone wrap them to 
match the color of your car. I don't think I would bother with the hassle and

[MBZ] my loss is your gain. 91’ Mercedes Benz 300se (mechanic special) - $2,000 (North Charleston)

2023-07-26 Thread Floyd Thursby via Mercedes

Wheels appear to be the best part of the car, lot of rattiness.

Car runs and drives great with its in-line straight 6! Until the trans 
warms up, then starts to slip or not want to shift. I’ve spoken with 
mechanics and done research on my own and the problem seems to be an 
internal transmission oil pump seal. I’ve had the car as a daily for 5 
years but have finally decided to let her go. I’ve kept her up very well 
being close to the star motor family, them being who I started my career 
with, (Paint and body) but we all must move on! Few small problems as 
with any older car but trans and a recent power steering pump leak are 
the worst. Solid motor, solid body, not to mention the wheels alone are 
worth the asking price. This car will need some tlc but it turns heads 
anywhere you go! Be prepared for offers daily once it’s back on the 
road. I have moved on tho, my loss is your gain.
