Hey guys,

I think I misspoke. My multimeter is set for 200 ohms and the readings are all .7 ohms except for the #6 GP, which reads 1.2 ohms. For some reason I was thinking that I should be...

E300D rhythmic rough idle

I think the long and short of it is that I'll have to take it back to the mechanic to look at hoses/o-rings again, but here's the symptom:

About every 30-45 seconds or so, I get a brief rough...

Well, that's exactly right. It could have been worse and as eatonT9999 pointed out, it could have happened at highway speed. The shop put in used parts, and had to paint the fender. There wasn't...

I haven't called the insurance folk but I do have photos and if they don't require an inspection (it's fixed now), I suppose I could get some coverage from it. I've not filed a claim in many years...

Thanks guys. I took off the fan this AM, and am going to run an errand and see how it goes. I've ordered new blades but not the new shroud yet.

Wouldn't it overheat if I removed the fan entirely? Average temps this time of year are on the 60's though, I do mostly highway driving.

Broken fan blades make for idle vibration w/E300D

This was a little surprising to me, but the physics of it make sense.

The back story is that I had my car ('99 E300D, W210) in the shop last week... evidently the fan shroud didn't get clipped in...

Just about 199k on the clock. I'll let y'all know what they say about the issue. Really bummed. As of this weekend, my worst issue was that I needed a new o-ring on the shut off-valve!

Unhappy E300D control arm disaster

It started as a pull to the right this AM. Felt like the car was all over the road when I would brake. So I knew something wasn't right. I called my mechanic who said to have it towed in. Before...

Thanks so much. Yes, I do hear some flaps moving if I switch things around to defrost or recirculate. Would love if it were a simple solution, but also realize I don't get to choose!

Sporadic A/C blower outage

I realize this isn't specifically a diesel issue, so maybe the moderator might move it appropriately. Or fine if it stays put here.

My E300D (1999) has an A/C blower motor that has occasionally...
