Re: [MBZ] linkage rod
You don't need it. I took the one off my car last fall. Apparently its there to close a butterfly and make more EGR pressure at idle. Just make sure the butterfly is jammed open. When I did I was amazed how much more power I had. -Curt Date: Thu, 14 May 2009 21:58:36 -0400 From: Anthony Galioto agali...@gmail.com Subject: [MBZ] linkage rod To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Message-ID: 241b87e30905141858g3450fe33g46e97379df14d...@mail.gmail.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 My car was acting funny so I looked under the hood and saw that a threaded rod in the linkage was missing. It is the rod that controls the moving part that goes down to the air intake. To maybe allow more air to get to the engine when the accelerator is pushed down. I don't know any damage can be done by running the car this way. The balls on each end are still there. The car is running and shifting fine. If anyone can tell me what size the rod is (not the length but diameter) or if any one has one I am willing to pay for it. I do not expect a freebie.

I don't imagine the new part would be that expensive.

Re: [MBZ] linkage rod
Thanks Curt, But which way is it open? If I push it one way I feel the spring pressure the other way it just bounces.

Re: [MBZ] linkage rod
Thanks Curt, But which way is it open? If I push it one way I feel the spring pressure the other way it just bounces. Which way is the rod pulled when the throttle is opened? That has to be the open direction. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] linkage rod
Open the air cleaner, look down the hole and see if the butterfly is open... -Curt Date: Fri, 15 May 2009 09:09:38 -0400 From: Anthony Galioto agali...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] linkage rod To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Message-ID: 241b87e30905150609u61fc3114h96dd703db6e0b...@mail.gmail.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Thanks Curt, But which way is it open?
