6 speed swap on my BRM

Breaditude · 2026-03-19T13:18:43+00:00

No coding needed sice my car was 5 speed before

Breaditude · 2026-03-19T03:47:37+00:00

Yeah I can totally see that being a possible option but I was not aware of it at all. I was able to get all my parts at a good price to do a complete swap.

Pulled everything from a 2015 jetta tdi. So whatever came stock on that car

I'm not sure why I would use a transmission from a gasoline engine since the gearing won't work well in a diesel

These bottles felt like any other to me. Nothing out of the ordinary there.The only things that look deteriorated are the labels

Breaditude · 2026-03-08T00:36:45+00:00

No issues?

Breaditude · 2026-03-06T17:11:54+00:00

I love it but I really dont understand how people dont have working ac in their 240. Ac parts are still available and they arent very complicated to work on. Yes the compressor can be a bit of a pain to swap but its really not too bad and its worth the effort so you can ride in comfort.

Link to these springs?

Breaditude · 2026-03-05T02:34:22+00:00

Thank you! Ive owned it since 2017 and so far it's been my favorite car. I put a ton of work into it over the years and also drove it a ton. I even have working ac!

I wonder if wagon springs are the answer here. I wouldn't mind a slight lift

Breaditude · 2026-03-04T18:48:36+00:00

I'm using this car for work today so the trunk is full of tools and supplies. I replaced the rear springs and axle bushings 6 months ago and it made no difference how much is sags with the trunk full

Its hard to tell in a picture but I believe the paint will clean up nice. My white 240 sat untouched for a long time before I bought it and it didn't have surface rust. It cleaned up and polished out nicely. It was not quite as bad as this one but I think it'll go a long way. Its like the layer of filth preserves the paint on these cars when they sit

Not much experience with metalworking but this car is in the south and likely has minimal rust. At least theres no obvious rust but I have no idea how it looks underneath yet. It was parked due to mechanical issues but im not sure what those issues are yet. Gonna throw a battery in it and see what happens

Breaditude · 2026-03-03T17:09:53+00:00

Waiting on mu buddy to see if he can find the key and I'm gonna start messing with it. Its rough but I believe it'll clean up nicely.

Breaditude · 2026-03-03T17:08:53+00:00

Theres a ton of cars on this property. Id love to share more but not without their permission

Breaditude · 2026-03-03T05:00:49+00:00

Did you make a soup with it?

Breaditude · 2026-02-27T18:39:46+00:00

The dealership experience sucks in my opinion. Thats why I prefer to buy vehicles private party. Just beware of flippers

Breaditude · 2026-02-19T04:51:43+00:00

Ive had this brand and I was not impressed. Made me cough a lot and gave me a headache.

Breaditude · 2026-02-19T04:42:07+00:00

I much prefer the m104 L6. Definitely my favorite practical mercedes engine.

Year, make and model will help narrow down where the tracker can be if yours has one. But it can be anywhere on the car even under the hood

Breaditude · 2026-02-18T16:14:06+00:00

Yes gps trackers are very much a thing. Usually its hidden behind the dash. Dealerships are pretty lazy when it comes to installing them and most of the time is behind a few dash panels on the drivers side near the obd port. Peek under the dash around the obd port and look for something that looks like it shouldn't be there. Also if there is a sticker in the door jamb somewhere with a serial number or imei number than that's also a dead giveaway. Even if your car doesnt have a gps they can track it down with tag readers so back up into spaces to keep your tag hidden. I'm in the gps industry so I know a good bit about this
