right guys im after some information on my 5.0 V8 its aproaching 90k miles and almost due its B service, do these need anything special doing at that kind of mileage like cam belt (are these belt or chain driven?) etc.
Also i need a new AC Compressor as its leaking from there any suggestions...
Meaning you have to beg, steal, borrow a special, Mercedes one, if you don't want to have your head taken off.
Is this just a Mercedes thing or does the same apply to other manufacturers?
Once in a while the drive belt for my air con compressor will slip. Nothing major, the noise is just a bit embarrassing! I can see all the belt needs is to be tightened up a little, but thats where my problem starts. On early W126's the belt could be tensioned by using nothing more than a 19mm...
Must be cheap or free but can collect within 30-40 Miles Bolton Manchester.
Bought a Tyre Changers and my little 1.5hp compressor is fine bar when it comes to breaking the wall of a tyre.
So need somthing a little bigger...or a lot bigger...
Must be 240v not 3 phase
Not bothered if it needs...
Can anyone lend/hire me a through the spring type road spring compressor ? Id be quite happy to pay for courier both ways. OR, can you sell me a secondhand one ?
I need a spring compressor to change the springs in my W210 E320, does anyone have the special one I could borrow (if not too far from Cambridgeshire) or buy?
Thanks
In a bit of a hurry yesterday I managed to clip a large stone on the apex of a bend:wallbash:
The front felt heavy so I pulled over....yep punctured tyre.
I pulled out the funny looking space saver only to realise that it is kind of folded flat to save even more space, saw on the side of it...
Hi
Newbie to this Forum.
Have a 1998 W202 C240 Sport Auto. It has been great for over 3 years with no problems, but now the air-con is U/S, and after a dye tracer test I am informed that I need a new compressor (where have I heard that before). The dye was showing leaks at the inlet and outlet...
I have my old front spring compressor for sale. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. Works perfectly.
It is for 210's, 202's 140's 124's etc.
£50
let me know via PM.
Had Compressor replaced on the advice of aircon workshop (new) due to no A/C and regassed.
Now find compressor not engaging no charge, so my guess is electrical fault. Checked fuses appears to be OK. Before i spend more big bucks can someone advise best route to follow re the most likely...
Hi guys,
Just had the airmatic compressor replaced on my car from a local indy, for the first few days everything was fine, then now when the compressor kicks in it is very noisy and a vibration through the pedals can be felt, the car still rises perfectly however.
When the pump was fitted...
I had my Air Con Condensor replaced in June 08, the guy put the dye in to find the leak etc so there has been plenty of dye in my system.
I've just done a oil change and notice my Air Con Compressor is full of green dye !
I've just been to Kwik-fit who told me there is a leak on the system as...
Hi, Anyone know if it is possible to replace the pulleys on the A/C compressor and Power Steering pump on an E320CDI. The plastic pulleys were shattered by a broken V belt, during a recent front end accident and as both units appear undamaged otherwise, it seems an unwarranted expense and...
Scrap pump so i thought i would strip it for a look see, very interesting if you like that sort of thing.
Works on a wobble plate, plate rotates causing the pistons to rise and fall, very fine engineering, you can see the wobble plate in the bottom pic
From a truck same capacity system gas...
I’d like to pick the brains of the knowledgeable types on here about a particular problem with the AC on my W126 300SE.
A few weeks ago a horrible noise started from under the bonnet. Subsequent investigation by a mechanic revealed this to be a faulty AC compressor, so this was removed and a...
Wonder if anyone can shed some light. On start up from cold my 93 E320 estate has a funny sound, much like the exhaust manifold has a hole in it (it seems the same as a compressor sucking air), then after 2 minutes or so it disappears, only appears again when the car is started from cold.
Am I...
