Subject: [W126 Coupe] 1991 ASR problem

 

I need a favor.  Are there any listmembers in Houston who have a 1990 or
1991 SEC with ASR?  If so, would you be willing to help with a
diagnostic problem in my car (also a 1991 with ASR)?  Here are the
details:  My car is under the care of John McIntyre at Bertini's
European Motors on I-45 North near The Woodlands.  He has gone through
the lengthy and complex diagnostic procedure required to localize an ASR
problem to the Electronic Accelerator Control Unit (126 545 13 32).  The
problem is that this is a ridiculously expensive part ($2200. wholesale
through Rusty, $1300 rebuilt through Beckmann Technologies) and I want
to be certain it's at fault before taking the plunge.  John suggested I
query the list to see if anyone would be willing to let him install my
defective part in their car temporarily as a final check.  This is the
best way to completely eliminate the possibility of a false negative in
the diagnostic procedure.  

 

I realize I am asking a lot.  Of course, all costs and potential
liabilities would be on me, and I would insist on buying you lunch.
John is a highly trained and respected mechanic, and I can offer my own
assurances that your car would be well taken care of.

 

Thanks,

Tom Griffith
