There are different Sportline sway bars for the W201 chassis,

It sounds like you are trying to mount the clutch to the water pump,

On my 1984 300D, there was no increase in power beyond 10psi... same

Short answer - the note on the other forum was wrong. With a bent-rod
3.5L engine, you have basically 2 viable options:
1) Replace the engine with a factory 3.5L crate motor (long or short block)
2) Replace the engine with a 3.0L from a 1986/87 300D/TD/SDL.
If the 3.5L engine still has

Yes, I'm biased, I own both a 124 diesel and an E500. I'd avoid any
car with the M103 engine unless he doesn't mind being a little short

Just a quick note on the fan clutch. I've read a couple comments that
the fan doesn't do much at freeway speeds, where "ram air"
theoretically would cool the car. This is not correct... the fan does
a *lot* more than you think at freeway speeds. Anyone who doesn't
think so should remove their fan a

could point him toward a specific area to look at that would be great.

By themselves, none. But they do allow you to jack up the fuel
delivery (relatively) safely, without destroying the motor. Seems most
stock Bosch pumps can't deliver more than, say, 20-25% power gain over
stock, without modifying the pump via larger elements. So on an OM603,
that should take us fr

Also - replace the diff mount bushings if they are not fairly recent!

Alex pointed out somthing important that had been missed in prior
posts. On the ORIGINAL wheel size (15x6.5), the 195/65 tire is
optimal, as Marshall and others said. A plus-one fitment isn't bad if
you really want to do that (205/60).
Anything else really requires a larger WHEEL... either wider,

I like them a lot... they're very easy to keep clean, too!

Hi Michael,
A quick peek at the EPC shows that there is really only one part
number for springs for your car. It would help if you specified which
chassis... there was a 280SE W108, W111, and W116 (and maybe more).
The free length of the spring as measured when not installed will NOT
be the same a
lve
seals, so it's definitely not related to valve guides.

5 times, one of the revisions was
to provide a better seal at the coolant passage behind cyl #6, where
your leak is. I'd pull the head & replace the gasket. Be prepared for
unexpected, unpleasant surprises (read: cracks) if the head is a #14.

If you do some searching for these nationwide, typical asking price is
between $7-$12k. So, buying one for $5k and spending a bit on repairs
wouldn't be unexpected. If it's clean and runs well, $5k is a really
good deal, IMO.

My poor W124 only has two.

e two halves of the ALDA. I used Yamabond, but
something similar would work fine.

You guys have first crack at them, next they're posted on the forums,
then off to eBay...

Looking at photos of each on Rusty's website, all I see is the 300E
fan has narrower blades, and the 300D/SDL fan has wider blades. I
wonder how that affects airflow, noise, etc, etc...

This is too cool. Reminds me of Kevin Costner's little trick in
'Waterworld'. I wonder how it would work on a 240D?

Cheap, schmeep! You still got 36 hours to get your bid in! Go for it,
Kaleb... too far away for me. Why aren't there any of these in the
Pacific Northwest?

Huh? I wouldn't touch a 124 or 201 without the factory service manual,
or at least the Haynes. Otherwise you could end up breaking things.

Worst case, convert to an alternative refrigerant that works with
mineral oil, like AutoFrost. The drawback to these is you can't top
off... not a big deal if your system is leak free.

I do. The Shell stuff is a cheap Group III base stock. It's better
than dino oil, but nowhere near as good as Mobil-1 or Amsoil (which
are Group IV/V base stocks). The Rotella Syn is fine if you change it
at 3-5k like regular dino... I would not attempt extended drains with
it.
-D
u
can buy it via the internet, but with S&H costs it ends up being close
to $30 per gallon (or $37.50 for 5 quarts, to compare to the Wal-Mart
jugs). And at that price, we can buy Amsoil from Johnny Bee a lot
cheaper!

Mike will have to translate SWMBPP for us, but I can help with the other one:
FLAPS = Friendly Local Auto Parts Store. (aka 'McParts').
