That's what I had initially thought (there isn't really one that works well). There's a bunch of smart people here, so I figured I'd ask just to make sure.


Thanks!

PWM Injection pump

There's a thread discussing the last mechanical-only injection pump for the 300D series...my question is the opposite. What year did injection pump control switch from mechanical to PWM? And will...

There might be if the worm gears are messed up, but the weak link certainly seems to be that circular gear thing next to the numbers. And when you take the pin out, you'll see the polished area where...

Contrary to what the auto parts person told you, I'd highly recommend replacing that receiver/dryer -- the silica inside those things wicks the water out of the air, and they saturate pretty quickly....

I'm hopefully going to make a trip to the partsyards near me to see if anything changed, but the last time I went a few months ago there weren't any W123's.

I'd highly suggest seeing if you can buy back the TD from insurance. Surely between the two there shouldn't be a problem getting it back in shape. To be honest, the main reason I bought the car is...

I'll grab some pictures --- I'm in Lyndon. It's a shame about the TD, I saw a black one for sale near the old liquor store on Westport Rd, but it was gone shortly after.

Yeah, it did make some "small screw rattling around a tiny metal box" kinda sound...plus I guess if the bearings are shot it'd make some "live squirrel trapped in a cage" kinda sound.

Tonight i'll unplug the Aux cooling fan and see if that makes a difference. It's been this way for over a year, so if it is the ACC board slowly frying I'm amazed it works at all.

Hmmm...It's an easy enough fix. I'll unplug it and see if that helps. Is there any chance a W123 could have a blocked heater core filled with dust/grime/etc?
