[W126 Coupe] Off topic..... again

[Attila]

          Hey Jim.  Here are a couple of numbers:
                            419-6163 (office)         514-9132 (cell)
        Also, I have the brake light.  It is out of an '89 and it only had
        65k miles when I removed it.  Come check it out one day.

  Off Topic Because of my phone not holding enough background numbers I lost the phone number to a member of this forum that called me, he lives in Jacksonville Florida if he could please call me back that would be great. 904-598-9080 he is putting his red W126 back together. On another note I need to replace that crossover pipe on the exhaust of my W126 does anyone have one? I think they call it an accordion pipe? Another item is the rear window brake light, need one of those mine fell apart.  Any help would be appreciated. Jim

  Get a can of  very fine  ground pepper and pour the can in to radiator, run the engine for  twenty minutes with the  heat on and then twenty minutes with the  a/c on.  Pepper will not hurt anything, if it does not work no harm done   Pepper does not dissolve...ever.

  Mike, 

   

      Not physically able to do the DIY projects these days.  I have tried the Bar's Stop Leak for the evaporator, but it still leaks out in less than 3 days.  I wanted to try the cryo seal, but I don't know of any shops around Chicago that use it, so I am hoping I can get a mechanic to tackle it without reaming me in the process.  I would be willing to pay a grand for the labor.  I am going to get the parts this weekend.  Are there motors or what that open the center vents or gears?

   

  Sincerely,

  John C. Conley

  My first thought is that is going to be a very big labor bill from the mechanic. The evaporator replacement is the huge job on pretty much any MB, more hours than needed to replace the engine!! Have you thought about a DIY on the evap? All the rest of the dash items would be done while the evap is being R&R'd and that would make them DIY also. Nothing terribly hard to do it, just LOTS of steps to get it done.

   

  Later,

  Mike R

  Hi guys and gals,

   

       I think I am going to have to replace my abs sensors on my 140 diesel.  I had them cleaned and blown out with compressed air and I still get an intermittent abs light.  I am also going to try to have my evaporator replaced and while I am in there, I want to know if I should get the bulb for my fuel gauge replaced, and my center vents don't open when I roll the dials to open them. The little lights inside the roller dials don't light up either.  Any ideas on what I need to get before I give the car to the mechanic?

  I bought mine at Importvision.  I have both, clears on my SEC, clear/red on my wife's SEL, and smoked on my SEL.

    I see on ebay now currently two different styles of the clear lens tail lights.  One with all clear accross and another with red lens and clear on the outside.  Anyone reading this have experiance with either of these?
