baptized in diesel and revelations chapter 1
So next month it will be 3 years since I found this wonderful community and got my first diesel MBZ. Those of you who remember, it was a lovely 1975 240D 115. Looked good but wouldn't run. Since then with the sage advice here I have been through 5 of these cars of which 3 are in my current stable, an 81, 84 and now an 85 300SD. Do you notice a pattern towards the 126?
I have learned a lot from reading and asking and aking and asking... and very, very rarely have I not been given great advice on how to diagnose, but more importantly help in understanding these cars... That being said I take you to my revelation. While working on the new (to me) 85 the other day I loaded the cd manual and printed off the ACC diagnositcs as well as the functional and vacuum specs for the system. In reading them I was dumbfounded... IT ALL MADE SENSE. Now is that coming of age or what? Some of you may think aw, it's no big deal. But I gotta tell ya folks. Really made me feel warm and fuzzy to know that I knew what that stupid pdf was trying to tell me. Thanks to every single one of you for all your help over the past 3 years! God help me if I find more 126's in need of salvation. My wife may divorce me.. but if she does I can guarantee she's taking the 84 with her...

It's a proven fact that time flies faster than you realize when you get to be our age.
