[MBZ] '79 240D alternator mystery solved (?)
I just talked to my Indy-'new' reman Bosch is on the green Goddess and it charges fine. They did tear this one apart and found the inside all corroded. He thinks it is because it has been sitting a lot her it the slat air since I bough the 300D 2.5t. I have noticed that under hood of my Forester and the 240D showing increasing white corrosion spots-esp. on the h aluminum. So I guess more Italian tune-ups on the 240D to heat up the alternator and engine compartment and to force air through to dry it up. Will pick it up today. Thanks to all who replied with good suggestions-I have saved them in case this reman bites the corrosion in a few months.

This is the third one in a little over a year. I know Curt Raymond that problem with his 240D and Bosch reman alternators before he sold it.

That is obviously salt air not slat air. Slat air is what you get when you run fast on the Bonneville salt flats. Sorry about the typo.

I was trying to think of where there might really be such a term-flying did occur to me although I know nothing about flying except as a frequent flier.

There is such a thing as slat air but you'd have to be referring to an aircraft. Then there's slut air, used for never mind. -- Jim
Re: [MBZ] '79 240D alternator mystery solved (?)
Well according to my Indy-the regulator probably looked more like slut air had gotten to it. Just drove it home-fine so far.
