Will I regret it? Is the jack now ruined and unsafe? I used ATF for 20 years in my floor jack.. As mentioned, ATF is a kind of hdraulic fluid. Engine oil is fine too. The anti foaming qualities of hydraulic fluid are an important consideration. But a floor jack is not likely to suffer from foaming. MORE IMPORTANT: Do not keep hydraulic fluid around where someone can mistakenly used it for brake fluid. It will eat the brake seals, and your brakes will fail.

Re: [MBZ] 126 climate control
Thanks It does explain the symptoms Seems most likely a leaking vacuum pod.will check it , mostly behind the centre panel mak My guess is that one of the pods has a vacuum leak, and when the ACC goes to actuate it the vacuum leaks away and the system defaults to the defrost vent pattern. Maybe the footwell pod? Use a MityVac on the lines coming out of the electric vacuum manifold behind the ACC panel.

Re: [MBZ] 126 climate control
Hi I have checked the vacuum lines and the tee connectors, all ok. Does the air only ever come out the defrost vents (windshield or wind screen)? If so I would first check your vacuum lines and make sure they are correct under the hood. The vents are controlled using vacuum, thus most common problem is the black plastic Tee on driver's fender cracks and the climate control goes to defrost all the time.

I don't have a clue as to what may be causing the problem. I have had a few things worked on lately, including a tune-up, with new spark plug wires and distributor, cap and rotor, etc., which seems to rule out those things as the issues. The only thing that I know made a difference in the idle, and I assumed might be part of the hesitation problem, as the hesitation showed up not too long afterwards, was a part (wish I could identify it for you) that reduced the idle from 1,000 to 1,100 rpm at idle in park, to 550-600 rpm at idle in park. This part plugs in just under the air cleaner housing in the front, top part of the engine, if that helps identify what it might be. The engine idles smoothly when in park, neutral or in gear (runs about 450 rpm in gear at a stop and there is no tremble). My second problem is an intermittent hard starting problem (the starter was replaced not too long ago and the problem just manifested itself). Sometimes, I turn the key and it starts right up, like it always used to. Now, though, if it doesn't start immediately, I turn the key and it cranks for a few seconds before it finally starts. The last time that happened, I saw smoke come out from the rear of the car (couldn't tell what color, due to the ambient light). That was the first time I've ever noticed smoke come from the tailpipe in the 13 years I've owned the car. My trusted mechanic closed shop and is leaving the N.O. area since Katrina.

Re: [MBZ] Serpentine Belt Tensioner Components
Thanks for the useful info, well prepared in advance for the replacements. Regards mak The original tensioner arms and idlers used on '84-'85 OM60x engines seldom lasted more than 50-75kmi. The later ones seemed good for 75-150kmi. By the '90s they may still be better (the aftermarket ones MAY not be - I haven't had any of them in long enough to know). Factory shocks seem to last 75+kmi while aftermarket ones seem more likely to fail by 50kmi. The belts on my cars seem to go for 75kmi as long as the arm and idler are in good working order (a bad arm, idler, shock or any belt driven accessory will cause a belt to fail prematurely).

Hi! Just finished replacing the components of the belt tensioner - took
about 2 hours - removed the shroud and fan then the other pieces - but I
could figure out how to get the upper pivot off - thought it was a allen
bolt but closer inspection says no. But I looked at it closely and
decided
it looked fine anyway and re-used it. The lower tensioner pivot and the
spring and damper all had play in them and the engine is much quieter now.

It's all in your lovely owner's manual. I still don't think I fully comprehend the vents, but it seems like the center vents (not the defroster vents) are only supposed to blow AC. Exactly, though they will blow vent air as well, just not heated air. Refrigerated air is not supposed to come up the defroster vents unless the next-to-defrost button is pushed. (Useful in very warm and humid conditions, I've had to use it once or twice.) If you have lost vacuum to the ACC system it will revert to defrost. Or the pod that shuts off the defrost flaps could be broken. Or the pod that runs some other flaps could be leaking, sapping vacuum when it tries to operate and allowing the defrost flaps to open.
