Exactly -- but that will have to wait for tomorrow or maybe the weekend. [Note to self: *do* disconnect the battery before diving in with an ohmmeter!] On Thu, May 7, 2009 at 10:10 PM, OK Don okd...@gmail.com wrote: when moving the wire bundle that goes to the alternator, there is the

Re: [MBZ] 300E issues

However, the strange thing is that all of the idiot lights are lit up, including the low fuel light by the fuel gauge. The SRS light does go out, but none of the others do. That's normal when the key is on without the alternator spinning. So, the alternator is virtually not spinning.

[MBZ] 300E issues

The 300E died while the wife was driving it today. Fortunately, she was only two blocks from the house and friends pushed her home. I arrived home from work this afternoon to find the hood up and a battery charger slapped on -- charging. Brother in law, Jeff (who is a real mechanic, unlike me,

Yea, its just screws into the back of the alternator. Remove the 2 screws, pull it out, and see if the brushes are worn down. Wonko the Sane wrote: Is that part of the alternator, like it is on a 240D? On Wed, May 6, 2009 at 7:39 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin ka...@striplin.netwrote: No fuse I

If the slip rings aren't worm too badly, I clean them with a pencil eraser before installing the new brushes/regulator. Haven't had one that was too badly worn yet - KOW. On Wed, May 6, 2009 at 7:58 PM, Wonko the Sane don.b...@gmail.com wrote: Found it on the web site. $29 and change. Thanks.

A very long time ago, one if the pieces of avionics equipment I had to maintain and repair (and I can't remember exactly what it was or what it did) at CGAS Cape Cod had brushes and commutator ring. I still have one of the white, square, somewhat-like-sandstone tools that I used to clean and

Re: [MBZ] 300E issues

your engine number is on a plate, but it can also generally be looked up via your vin. also, you can often guess which one you need. for example, if your car is an 86, it's pretty likely you need an early one. an argument can also be made that you can mount any alternator you please if you take

[MBZ] Some issues with Stella

Stella (1985 300TD) has a few issues that I could use some help with. Here we go! I was driving down the highway the other day and the Speedometer suddenly plummeted to 0. The Odometer, which had been spotty anyway, now doesn't work at all. Is there a somewhat easy fix for the Speedometer?

Re: [MBZ] Some issues with Stella

Stella (1985 300TD) has a few issues Those are the very issues that they all have. Is there a somewhat easy fix for the Speedometer? Sounds like your cable broke. My Cruise Control doesn't work sometimes. However, if I hold up on Accel, it will, indeed, accelerate. Suggestions?

Re: [MBZ] Some issues with Stella

First, if the speedo doesn't register, most likely the cable is broken, so no odometer or speed control -- both driven off the cable in the speedo head. It's possible the speedo head went bad, but very unlikely, it's just a magnet and a disk and a bushing. The odometer may or may not

Re: [MBZ] Some issues with Stella

. The airfilter does make sense though as does making sure the valves and timing are spot on. Of course you can always check your tire pressure. ;) -Curt Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2008 07:41:51 -0500 From: Bill Dunaway [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [MBZ] Some issues with Stella To: mercedes@okiebenz.com Message
