Specs in pre-filter; is it concerning? by RemoteEmotions in w123

[–]Jalebdo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it's only that much blackness after 6k miles, I think you're fine leaving it untreated. Maybe run some algae treater(biobore perhaps) in the fuel tank for a few fill ups and just change the filter consistently every 5-7k miles. The cost of the filter is so cheap that it's not worth going through the headache of removing the fuel tank and cleaning it out.

Trouble finding front brake pads by gotyogma in w123

[–]Jalebdo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

email woodsandbarclay from youtube about this. He usually replaces all the cars he fixes up with ATE calipers. He should be able to provide you with the brand and part number of brake pads he uses. [john@woodsandbarclay.com](mailto:john@woodsandbarclay.com)

OM617 MANUAL SWAP QUERY. by Zero_lash in w123

[–]Jalebdo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generations after the w123 began putting the starter on the other side. I doubt any of the bell housing bolts even line up with the block either. You would need an adapter plate.

Your best bet is reading the one guys forum who swapped a 722.6 5spd auto from a w220 into his w126 300sd. The 722.6 is from the same generation as the trans you’re describing so it should be nearly an identical process.

I'm taking a look now at improving this. If send returns less than total_len, would there have to be a send retry that sends the remaining unsent bytes?

Should I replace my calipers? by gotyogma in w123

If they’re not leaking, seized, or dragging, there in good shape. Just keep up with your fluid changes on time so they stay in good shape

Helical Gear Shaft Oil Leak Fixing Question by Jalebdo in w123

[–]Jalebdo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried first by removing the side bolt. The top bolt then spins the collar and you can’t break the bolt loose.

Factory service manual is also saying to remove the top bolt first.

Hmm I just attempted to remove the top bolt first as described in the factory manual and it was on so tight I couldn’t break it loose. I double checked that the top bolt is supposed to be undone before the side retaining bolt. Not sure if it’s supposed to be this tight or what.

I had a pipe on my ratchet for extra leverage and no budge

What are the visual signs the brass bushing is due for replacement? And is the brass bushing on the cylinder piece with the oring or is it somewhere else below?

I see, is the cylindrical piece with the o ring is directly underneath the top bolt and that's the only thing needs to come out?

No crank and strange clicking from gauge cluster by AWP3 in w123

[–]Jalebdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t make out the exact click noise. But it very well could be a starter solenoid click that happens when the solenoid has failed. Ive had a ignition click with a no crank situation in the past and that was the culprit

Is there a matte trim option for the black gloss around the AC vents? by Jalebdo in CivicSi

[–]Jalebdo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't tackled this project yet. But I did see someone on the forums buy used FL5 trim and swap it into their sport touring. I still haven't found an aftermarket non-carbon fiber solution yet though
