I’d try it if I still had my 240D. It’s not like I loved that 4.cyl and I wanted to keep it forever. My thinking is before pulling it and swapping it for a turbodiesel 617 why not experiment on it. ...

That’s good to know. Good catch. I guess it is good to have a look back there after so many years of operation. There is a freeze plug back there on the back of the engine that should be swapped out...

That’s cool you got this fixed. The needle bounce is likely some kind of binding in the sleeve as you suspect.

I’m a big fan of oil separators. My theory is if there’s less oil coming into the intake from the breather circuit, there’s less oil or gunk up the intake and get into the combustion chamber.

On my 300d that sensor delays the activation of ACC on a cold day so you don’t get an ice cold blast of air in your face on startup. Perhaps the 240 has a similar system. Odd because they have fully...

I’d hook up a volt meter to the compressor clutch wire when the car is cold. Go for a ride and see if you lose the voltage when the compressor cuts.
