w115 240D troubles and questions
nothing is as simple as it seams. here is my problem, the fule gauge isn't working so i went to the dismantler and got a sending unit... still doesn't work. is there a way to test the sending unit? what else could there be other then the gauge its self? i don't think there was a gauge in the car i took the sender out of.
now for a fun question. what is the foot pump to the left of the break peddle for? anyother quarks of the w115 i need to know about?

the foot pump would be your windshield washer.
The instrument panels in those cars are particularly known for having grounding issues with the electrical guages. Tom W

The W115 is as simple as it gets. There can be issues with the vaccum in the dash for the A/C switchover.
Sounds like you replaced a bad sender with another bad sender.

BTW, a quark is either a subatomic particle or a type of low-fat curd cheese.
 You probably meant quirk.

fixed its self.
got up thismorning to take the car to school and tha gauge was working. i was having battery problems last night. had to jump it to get it in the garage to adjust the valves. so i left a battery charger on it. and its now working. everything is working as it should. I took the car to school and put it up on the lift. no major run or anything. the car looks great. I changed its oil... now that was a *****. that filter housing doesn't like to drop down. it got hung up on the frame and the oil pan. so i giggled it. and just as my teacher was walking by the dang thing gave free slipped out og my hands and dumped oil all over the shop.... oops. i had to use an air gun to take off the pil pan drain... some monkey before me torqued the crap out of it with a pair of channel locks... it was all scared up, but not to bad. got it installed and everything is working great now. still has blow-by but you can turn it off and turn it back on as many times as you want. i think i'm going to drive the car to see my dad 2 hours from here as the final shake down cruse. One other question. what is up with the air filter? i bought one from napa and its the wrong type. i think i have a oil bath filter. so what do i need to clean it?
