Pictures & Questions!
 
OK, here are some better(?) pictures . . . (Before I clean it up, just the way I bought it, other than my 1st aid kit on the back seat & tool kit on the floor . . .

Like the "cup holder" I was given!:eek: It does work, but . . . not quite classy!:confused:

The hood pad seems to just be a piece of foam glued on, is this right? The only rust I have found is on the bootom of the hood, above the battery area . . .

What style of glow plugs are these?

This is down in the pass side front of engine compartment . . . what is it, and why is one line unhooked?

Another view . . .

The drivers door "clicks" when you open or close it (besides does not close/latch if you close it too hard) The "RED" arrow moves back and forth in the space of the "BLUE" arrow . . . what is wrong, how do I fix this?

Today on my way home, I decided to get a 0-60 time . . . talk about PROFORMANCE! I did 0-60 in 11 seconds! Man I was flying!:D



Oh yeah that was 60 kph!:P


0-60 mph was 26 seconds . . .:rolleyes: seems like it is lacking in this area! IIRC it should be 20-21 area?

You have pencil (fast) plugs. The circled thing looks vacuum related. That's about all can say about it with certainty.

aaa 07-13-2009 09:55 PM

Those are pencil-style glowplugs, not the loop ones.

The line on the passenger side appears to be EGR related. Something electronic is supposed to switch the vacuum to the EGR off and on. It's not important, as long as that open end there isn't leaking vacuum away (block it off, and find the other end that connected to it and make sure it's blocked off".

Looks like a nice car. it looks to be a 237K mile car but a nice one. The timing chain at 60K is not at all normal, I cannot imagine how that could be.

Best of luck with it.

Good looking buggy. Looks to be in decent shape.

Are pencil-style better?

Here is more pics! They are small hard plastic lines . . .

If this is EGR junk, I should just remove it all . . . I believe I have read that here somewhere . . . I'll have to search some . . .

Yes very solid, but needs some elbow grease . . . I'm gonna change all the fluids, and air filter, previous owner said that oil was changed about 1k ago, but no documentation:eek: Fuel filter look fresh . . .

Paid $1800 it was 169 mi one way . . .

Rear diff has small seep . . . over all seems good to me, handles well . . . drivers seat needs some help . . . wash and wax should make it look great, vac and shampoo shoud do wonders for interior, dash has a few small cracks . . . windshield has a small chip/crack . . .

Yeah, that vacuum thing that is disconnected is EGR related. If you don't have an emissions test there, you might consider finding a pre-82 240D and swapping both manifolds to rid yourself of all that crap. There is a butterfly valve in the middle of that mess that can't be doing good things.

No emissions testing here:D

I remember seeing a butterfly valve when I looked down into the intake when I pulled the air filter . . .is that what your talking about?

My 81 is the spitting image of yours right down to the wood dash.
I had a bent steel wheel so I put a set of bundts on.
The 4 speed is fun but still slow. Enjoy the simplicity

JEBalles 07-14-2009 09:37 AM

Slow? maybe, but I got the same times as a few not-so-good porsche drivers in autocross in my 240. great car, wonderfully simple and reliable. You even have the crank windows! My biggest problem is I have about 100 times as much rust as you (25 years in salty new england)

zeke 07-14-2009 09:39 AM

RE door - you need a new door check - you can buy one here they are pretty inexpensive and really easy to install. You have to remove the inside door panel to do it, but you can find great write-ups on removing them all over the place. I need a new one on the wagon - same problem.

Looks to me like the dark brown hard line goes in that soft rubber recepticle. Not 100% sure, but I think that is the same two lines (colors) on the EGR in the wagon. Many people disable the EGR, making sure to block the lines to seal the vacuum.

Really nice looking car! Rear seats are in really nice condition!

Even with the clean-up, you got a good deal. Enjoy! My 240 was a stick. People saying that they are slow haven't driven an automatic 240.

That egr system does have a butterfly, take it out and the spaghetti on top of the cam cover too.
Plug off the two holes on the side just below the intake.
This is my old 82 240, a friend has done the work, he drives it to this day.

rs899 07-14-2009 12:45 PM

Yeah, I guess you could just gut the intake manifold to delete the butterfly valve you have too. The airflow might be better on the old style one, if you can find one.
