Re: [MBZ] New Arrival...and questions
Werner, this set up was only used on the 114/115 chassis, the filter housing was located down on the LS of the engine and consisted of a spring in the bottom of the housing to push the filter which was topped with a very fine disc filter that sat on top of the main filter. The disc could only be placed one way to set down on the smaller diameter threaded top of the bolt which held the assy in the housing. Changing the oil was a very messy affair because the oil would run down upon you when the filter housing was loosened. I solved that problem by putting a drain plug in the bottom of the housing. Now you know about the earlier 240Ds. DWS Werner Fehlauer wrote: OK, is this spring and plastic pre-filter something unique to the older 240D?

Hi All, We have a new arrival - she looks great, is healthy, responsive, and pumpkin orange. A 74 240D, very clean, and the heater blower fan works!

OK, is this spring and plastic pre-filter something unique to the older 240D? Either I missed it, or at least I didn't see such a thing on any of my 126 SDs ('83 and '84) nor my '90D (602).

Re: [MBZ] New Arrival...and questions
it's unique to the 115 and older series cars - somehow, when they made the filter housing top-mounted, they ditched the plastic.
