It contains a pressure valve to pressurize the fill chamber on the IP. Not adjustable so far as I know, but don't replace it with a plain one! Pete ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change

I was flying business class to Amsterdam on KLM, a regular gig when we went to the Middle East or Africa, as KLM and El Al were the only airlines we were allowed to fly for security reasons. Anyway, I’m on the upper deck of a 747-400 and my seat back breaks before we take off. We’ve already

That’s what he told me. I’ll believe it when I see the numbers. He doesn’t keep records like I do, so I suspect he was referring to a lengthy road trip he did to Atlanta. He probably got good mileage on that. And yes, it does have ICE COLD AIR. I did replace the hoses I could see when I got

Yup. I know that all too well. I actually enjoyed the bunkroom as it had all the amenities of home despite being a little cramped, and when the cabin crew ducked in to get a break they usually brought me food and drinks, too. -D > On Feb 26, 2019, at 10:19 AM, Andrew Strasfogel wrote: > >

Next nubie 124 owner question. Had to utilize the defrosters this morning. I had the defrost button mashed, fan on low and every 20 minutes or so the fan would suddenly go to high, stay there for maybe two minutes, then go back down to low. WTF? Bob R Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 26, 2019,

Re: [MBZ] I Picked up the “Sherman Tank” W124

Oh, and another one.the cruise control...when I went to engage (push up) it it would accelerate like if I were pushing it forward. It would accelerate for a second then pause, accelerate for a second then pause, accelerate for a second then pause and it kept this up until I hit the brake.

Re: [MBZ] I Picked up the “Sherman Tank” W124

IIRC the defrost (left most?) button ignores the fan speed setting and puts you into max fan for "full defrost". If you wanted windshield vent that responds to fan speed its the next button to the right. Still yours isn't working right, I suspect it needs a re-solder... -Curt On Tuesday,

Re: [MBZ] W124 E300D Fuel Leak

YES, that is the pressure relief valve on the back (inside) of the IP.   Has been at least since the debut of the OM621 engine. (1958?) There was a discussion on this list a couple years ago about stretching or replacing the spring to get the relief valve back in spec. Dan Penoff via

Re: [MBZ] W124 E300D Fuel Leak

If it is the same as on the 617, which I think it is. The pressure relief valve is within the body of the bolt so unbolting it will not change anything in the relief valve and for sure turning the banjo fitting will not do anything to the relief valve. Stretching the spring is simple since

When it rains it pours. tonight #1 daughter said her car needs a GP.  OK, I just hope it is not #3. She also said it squeals (in the front) when turning right, or turning right while braking.   That is an odd one.  It reportedly is not a brake squeal.  Other than brake pads, all I can think
