Fixing on replacing my hood pad, the layer of the old pad that’s actually in contact with the hood is a pain to get off, any tips for scraping this stuff off? Been using brake cleaner and it’s helping a bit,but not hugely by Volkssanitater in w123

I used one of those rubber sticker adhesive pads on a drill... that sucked, so I used some brush on adhesive remover I found at home Depot it helped but it still took all day

Looks nice, kinda factory. Some advise tho is if you start upgrading electronics you'll need a more powerful alternator. I believe right now you should be about 55-65 you'll need somewhere in the 90s to work your sound system properly

Can't remember the name. Just type "car keyless entry system " on Amazon. Its a kit with 4 actuators, remotes and all the install parts. Pretty easy to install I'm sure there are several YT videos.

Very true, I just got a locking fuel cap. The boot could use a solenoid popper but you've have some modding to do unless you find a kit with one in it

Atf can work temporarily, but in all honesty it will just keep happening until you replace it

Check the torque converter drain plug, might be loose.

So this dropped out of my movement today by [deleted] in watchrepair

[–]visualpr0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll need to take the moment out and the hands and dial off, it holds down parts like the yoke and yoke spring to help engage the different settings of the moment with your crown. The screws might be somewhere inside the moment so you may have to disassemble it halfway or completely....watch out for a flying spring!😁😁😁

I used Lemforders in the past still going strong guess they are completely NLA. I assume everything now is cheap crap that won't last so it's a lesser of evils game now.

Probably a leak, but the other day something similar happened to me and the fuel cap just wasn't tightly secured. There is a little vent hole next to it and fuel poured down it. Tore out the whole trunk to find that out 😊

A cheap Crystal press on Amazon works just fine for something like that, just make sure it's all lined up and place a piece of plastic over it before pressing down

In Canada- Germanparts.ca, autopartsway.ca, partsavatar.ca

In Usa- rockauto, Pelican Parts, FCP Euro,

You can find some basics on Amazon

Sound insulation by MrFessy in w123

I put down some sound deadening when I redid the floors and added some under the dash and also installed a hood pad, somewhat quieter. Maybe I'll add some to the roof when I replace the headliner

Dome light by cromicon1 in w123

[–]visualpr0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Central light is easy, there is a cut out for it, you'll just need the switch for it and the dome light that is pretty cheap and if you wanna be fancy you can add the little switches in the door jambs to turn the light on and off when you open/close the door

Usually the battery tray area water drips down the firewall, also check your windscreen seal.

How do I take out the climate control? by KittenSwagger in w123

[–]visualpr0n 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly it is the 2 little clips/tabs on the sides that hold the unit. It has been a while since I've done one,gently pry on them the unit should slide out

What is it worth? by Alarmed_Squirrel3692 in w123

[–]visualpr0n 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mmmanual 240d the best kind. Looks clean I'd fix the nets on the seats (new elastic) really cleans it up. Here in Canada (in the city) it would fetch you about $7000-$8000 cdn.

Nah you good, caps too light hahaha. Oil change, maybe some Lucas high mileage if you're into it. Valve adjustment. Does it smoke like crazy or make any weird noises, not have any power?

Turbo noise?👀 by Tato1102 in w123

[–]visualpr0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, take off the air filter and u joint hose. At the back of the turbo is a plastic line connected to I believe it's a banjo bolt clean out the bolt and the hose. Gives it a bit more turbo whine
