I'm having difficult removing cracked footrest. Footrest is connected to plastic kickplate with 2 plastic rivets. Kickplate seems attached to car body with a clip on the inside. I cannot remove kickplate no matter which way I pull it. Also, do I destructively remove the 2 plastic rivets holding the footrest? Do you sell new rivets? Thanks for your help.
At ca. 154,000 miles I have been slowly bringing the engine performance back to snuff. I recently rebuilt my turbo using your excellent kit. The compressor and turbine blades and shaft were in excellent condition so I opted not to purchase the replacement set.
Prior to the rebuild my boost pressure at 4000 rpm was 9 psi. Following the rebuild, there was no improvement in boost pressure. Per your instructions, I tested the waste gate (with a bicycle pump) and it appears to work.
The ALDA tube and Banjo bolt are clean; I've installed a new air filter, adjusted the valves following your instructions, installed rebuilt Monarch fuel injectors, and did a diesel engine purge (which was clean) and replaced the fuel filters.
Quick question. What should I look for in regard to the capacity of a multimeter in regard to max amperage, etc for it to be effective for all possible testing uses on my '82 W123 and '92 W124 300D turbodiesels?
Any other recommendations for "multimeter must-haves" are welcome.
Thanks!
driving home yesterday and started to hear some clinking in the engine...not that unusually, then a little more, became on and off, almost as if metal was dragging on the ground...then became a permanent loud noise....i pulled over and while the sound is a tocuh louder when i accelerate it is there regardless...seems to be coming from near all the belts...any suggestions welcome...thank you....
Our beloved 1982 300D has been acting up this past week and I'm hoping someone could steer me in the right direction toward figuring it out.
removed the rear bumper and associated rubber trim pieces because the black trim piece running the length of the bumper was loose. Further investigation revealed it's time to conduct some corrosion control on all the metal parts.
Looking inside the bumper one bumper shock has separated from the bumper. I plan to just drill holes and bolt the bumper and shock back together. However, the bumper is severely corroded where the bumper and bumper shock contact, possibly a case of dissimilar metal contact.
