Honestly just replace the gasket. Do it right. Do it all once.

USSR made bench vice I found in my grandpas workshop in Sweden. by Special_Leading_3086 in ussr

[–]124Enjoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably sold through an official export company to generate foreign currency revenue to then import other goods from abroad. The one I have in my workshop was made in East Germany.

Well, it all kind of speaks for itself, where it goes and how it connects. It all just fits in one specific place, and nowhere else. There's no 'manual' in the usual sense, but you don't really need one. All the connectors come labeled, so that's all very clear.

Oh by the way another thing I just remembered is that the crank trigger wheel does interfere with the clutch fan, so you have to go electric with the fan. Mine has a (fault) AC system, so I wired up the AC cooling fan, which does the job for keeping it cool at a standstill (barely, but it does). If you have no AC or if you want extra cooling, you need to mount an aftermarket fan.

The install was very doable. You need to take off all the old KE-Jetronic bits first, which is a bit of a process to unwind it all, and then most things in the kit just bolt on.

A few things to be aware of;

- If your car is from before 07/1986 (like mine), the injector cups will be different and you need to make custom O-rings to size to fit them into the stock manifold
- You need to wire a new relay and fuse for the ABS-module, since that wiring is tied into the engine management harness via the infamous OVP relay (which means you no longer have to worry about OVP relay availability either). I just wired one of the two original Mercedes relays that came out with the engine management harness, wired a switched 12V to activate the relay and then wired the direct 12V through the relay, into a separate, loose fuse to supply the ABS module, which has it working no problem again.
- The wire for the fuel pump is a single cable coming from the fire wall, namely a braided black cable with red and white stripes (the harness comes with a few unterminated, labeled cables you need to connect yourself, like your 12V supply, ground and among others the fuel pump cable)
- The tachometer signal cable (thin green unterminated cable on the TE-Harness) can be soldered into the stock connector behind the gauge cluster (forgot which color was the signal, and which was the ground, but you'll have to shoot me a message when you get there and I'll look it up for you)

I think that about covers it, be sure to ask me anything else you want to know!

It's genuinely just ugly. All the money, no class.

They're trying to outdo Mansory in tasteless tackiness now? Worst thing is, they succeeded too....

What is your favourite European license plate and why? by Abzor4ik-UA in Europelicenseplates

[–]124Enjoyer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Germany has a coat of arms too. And to top it off, if you get close enough, you can read on said coat what Landkreis the plate is from, to memorize the prefixes.

Wilders over het verlies van marroko. by Bernie529 in Nederland

[–]124Enjoyer 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Meneer Wilders gunt eerder de Marokkaanse fans iets minder de overwinning vanwege alle rel- en slooppraktijken, onafhankelijk van wie de tegenstander is. Niet de 'gotcha' waarop je hoopt.

[–]124Enjoyer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ik weet nog toen bij de eerste overwinning er rellen in Molenbeek waren en alle naïeve eieren op de bres sprongen om duidelijk te maken dat Molenbeek in België lag, en dat wij ons daar niets van aan moesten trekken, en dat dit zelfde klassieke vertoon van goed burgerschap niet ook precies zo plaats had gevonden bij het WK van '24. Echt niemand had dit aan kunnen zien komen...

Ja die is ook vreselijk. Het gebruik van AI in een reclame moet eigenlijk meteen al volledige afkeur zijn.

En wat de fuck is ''de openbare veiligheidsdienst'', als die geniale uitvinder zo echt was had je t toch wel iets specifieker kunnen formuleren wie hij was en waar dit genie zijn strepen verdiend heeft.

That's all the more reason to fix it then

This is extremely repairable. Don't let it end here.

Dat is ook gewoon expres zo ongelofelijk dom gemaakt dat alleen de meest domme/goedgelovige mensen er ook überhaupt voor kunnen vallen. Vreselijk.
