As usual Saga's dont go away.... they just take on new paths.
Ok.... if you dont know the story. Bought for $650 a knocking (nailing?) 1983 300D that otherwise seems to be in a little worn shape but not bad. 197,000 miles. Have oil change records from 1998 - 2000 in Rhine GA. Cant find the business via information. Milage from Last oil change in 2000 and now is little less than 1,000 miles.
pressure washed engine and tranny somewhat.
Removed, cleaned, reinstalled; Injectors and New injector return lines. Very short Italian test drive done (couple miles)
TADAAAAAAAA no more nailing .
(Dance litte jig in a circle and rejoice on success of first symptom healed.
okkkk sooo now I'll do a search of the archives and look forward to hints from yall about things below)
Injector #4 is leaking diesel. Could have been before... could be new. Could be injector, could be return, line could be???
looking for hints!
Valve cover gasket leaks good. Will fix along with a valve adjustment and a peak at timing chain stretch.
Suggestions would be appreciated.
need to replace oil cooler hose. Its got oil on it already
either exhaust leak or burning oil under hood, maybe both.
Suggestions would be appreciated
Rear shocks need replacing. Car floats like cloud nine.....teen. The turbulant cloud. Nine's Cousin I think. A test bounce of the rear of the car shows the need to replace them as very obvious.
Suggestions would be appreciated.
Modulation/pulsing in brake pedal and the brake light is on. Fluid level is below full but not at minimum.
Suggestions would be appreciated.
Slight hard shift, Sunroof moved a smigen more closed when I played with button... no more movement since. 3 windows work. (Passenger rear does not). I suspect all vaccum related
Suggestions would be appreciated.
Good news.... ANTENA WORKS LOL j/k
Other little things for later post. Again I will do a search of the archives also.
PS anyone got a spare car with the piece that the glove box latch catches onto. It is plastic and screws to the top of the inside of the glove box. The latch on the door slips behind it to hold the door shut. Also need pieces to repair the driver door open mechanism. Just the parts you pull to open the door. I'll of course look for junkers around here too.
