Re: [MBZ] this guy is an idiot
The subject of this thread should be changed from this guy is an idiot to we guys are enthusiasts. Conversely, guys like me are content to know simply that yeah, I'm going a bit faster than the speedo reads, and I have somewhat higher miles than the odo reads. On one of my vehicles, I was able to determine that the speedo read 7 low (due to taller than stock tires). I did this by observing the bright digital readouts on some modern GM products such as Caddies, etc. as they cruised next to me. In a way though, having taller tires, or higher rear gears does keep some wear an' tear off the vehicle by causing the drivetrain to turn more slowly, eh? So the lower odo. reading is truthful in a certain sense. On the other hand, accelerating with a higher gear ratio places more strain on said drivetrain. Oop, I'm starting to sound like an enthusiast. Brian On 3/31/06, John Berryman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Mar 31, 2006, at 10:13 AM, Kaleb C.

Almost all mechanically driven speedos compensate for different rear-end ratios with different drive gears run off the output shaft. According to Angie (the tech I knew at VDO in Winchester that last worked on my speedometer back before they closed that facility and service), the gearing in the speedometer head is matched to the differential, NOT to the transmission. The 201 transmissions are all interchangeable without any speedometer change (except for the I, II, III marks on the face that depend on engine and transmission gearing). The speedometer (or at least the gear set inside) MUST be changed whenever the differential ratio is changed.

The transmissions are ALL interchangeable and the odometer and speedometer will read distance and speed correctly when they are changed if they read correctly BEFORE they were changed. If the gearing is incorrect, the speedometer AND odometer will read incorrectly by a fixed percentage. If the needle is offset (this should be checked and set whenever the speedometer is serviced) the speed will be of by a fixed amount (say 8 miles per hour fast - like my 190D 2.0 does) at all speeds and distance will read correctly.

Take the speedometer out and find where the needle comes to rest (you will usually have to move it to the other side of the stop peg as most properly calibrated speedometers come to rest at between 5 and 15 mph BELOW - on the wrong side of - the bottom mark on the speedometer). Then since you read 67 mph at 60 mph, you remove the needle and reposition it 7 mph further counterclockwise - then gently turn the needle clockwise and lift it over the lower stop so it is positioned pointing to the 10 mph point (the lowest reading on the scale) and there is spring tension pressing it against the 7 o'clock stop. Then when you are driving at 60 (where it used to read 67) the needle will only have moved to a reading of 60 since you repositioned it 7 mph further counter clockwise. Marshall I can see how that would surely help. I need to borrow my buddy's new GPS and take it for a ride. I could even make temporary marks with a Sharpie at pertinent speeds so I can know how fast I'm really traveling. If its off by a percentage it will get calibrated to the rear. If not I will move the needle back. Thanks Marshall, I never came across a speedo error worth noting in the past, hence the confusion with how the final drive ratio is compensated for. The good thing is, if it turns out that its off by a % my actual mileage would be that much lower and the car would have been receiving all its service sooner than required.

Re: [MBZ] this guy is an idiot
I dug around a bit and discovered that usually most foreign cars imported into Japan were left hand drive, versus the proper right hand drive because of the prestige, which now makes sense why the dealer asked if the car was from Japan.

Re: [MBZ] this guy is an idiot
Larry,
I mostly agree with you. I've spent the better part of a month slowly
defunking my '85 190D. Considering the overall neglect I've seen throughout the
car the grunge doesn't really surprise me. I need to schedule a trip to get
detailed (courtesy a gift cert from my in-laws). A real steam cleaner would be
just the ticket for removing the grunge thats pushed into the carpets, I got
the upper layer of slime off.
As a side note the coffee sachet I mentioned the other day has done its job
admirably. I'd used some glue inside the car and the smell was hanging around
bad, since putting in the coffee last week (about 2oz of coffee in a little
packet I made from a papertowel folded over) its pretty much gone.
That said when I was a teenager I'd spend countless hours cleaning and
meticulously detailing the inside of my '84 Ford Tempo. The interior of that
car was sweet. There wasn't any surface rust either but a bunch of places with
paint that was only vaugely the right color. The floor was rotted to bits
though. Every year I'd peel back the carpets and fiberglass up the holes. Then
jack the car up and use sheetmetal screws to attach stovepipe (cheap and
available) so it'd pass Maine state inspection.

On the topic of reman. starters: I know that getting one from a McParts is
frowned upon, but I must admit I got one from AutoJoke with a lifetime
warranty. The thing that I noticed tonight is that the solenoid has the name
Bosch stamped on it, and the main starter body has made in Germany, or some
such on it. So it appears to be a rebuilt original equipment unit.
I thought that the much sought after Bosch solenoids could only be found at
the pick pull.
Most budget rebuilds (no matter what the warranty) have been cleaned,
painted and BROKEN parts have been replaced - no more than that. If the
bearings have not failed, they are almost NEVER replaced. If the old
solenoid operated, it will often NOT be replaced. If you are selling the
car, it's an inexpensive way to get it going. If you'd like a modicum of
reliability, DO NOT BUY A BUDGET alternator or starter.
A genuine Bosch
