    Towing question

    I don't see a photo, but based on your description I wouldn't pull the car towards the pile of debris. I'm with Rick on this one.

    Anyone tried an electric AC compressor yet?

    How about an RV AC system mounted on the roof. Simple and you'd be the only one!

    1970 E3 2800 BaT

    I just bought a '79 Mercedes 280GE, converted to a 3.0L diesel years ago, and it has a salvage title. It's worth less because of it and I look at it differently as far as how I restore it. I've decided originality doesn't matter (engine swapped already anyway) and I'll change the color when I...

    Clutch Master Cylinder Issue

    Just went to Auto Zone here in CA and synthetic is all they had. I'm sure that's what I've used before. I "honed" the cylinder with fine 3M scratch pad with lacquer thinner then brake fluid to clean off anything that might have built up. I don't know how old this "new" cylinder is. Put...

    Clutch Master Cylinder Issue

    Got any ideas? I've never had hydraulics do this in all the years I've been acting like a mechanic.

    Clutch Master Cylinder Issue

    Could be. Maybe I used non synthetic in the past and didn't pay attention. I'll try that since I have no other ideas.

    Clutch Master Cylinder Issue

    Installed a new Ate E12 clutch master cylinder and the rear seal stuck compressed while bleeding the system. I took it apart and had to use compressed air to get it out. The seal looked bigger than the front seal. I took the rear seal out of the old cylinder and put it in the new one and it...

    Electrical Issue

    If it were me... I'd back all the way up to how the cooling system is working first. My E3 was running a little warm on hot days so I thought I'd add an electric pusher fan in addition to the water pump fan. But I also found my original radiator was in poor shape so I replaced it with a new...

    Still running rough

    I bought a welding cart a while back and it didn't come with assembly instructions. I found a video on YouTube but it was so bad I decided to make my own video showing how it goes together, but I decided not to post it because if you can't figure out how to put a cart together you probably...

    Still running rough

    Don, have you ever used propane to find vacuum leaks? My friend uses a propane tank and holds it near components and can also connect a hose to it to get into smaller areas. Works pretty good the times I've seen it in action.

    The touring with 135k? It's been awhile but Schatz and Krum or Valley Motor Works might work.

    Or if you smoke cigars you can do a smoke test. ;)

    Car pulls to the right when braking

    As far as calipers go, could be binding on the right or not working properly on the left. Binding is easier to figure out. First gear, rev high and decelerate without toughing the brakes and see if the weight transfer affects the direction. Suspension vs brakes. How about pads?

    e9 clutch issues

    The clutch assembly itself is all mechanical and rarely do you get an issue that gets worse as you use it then works fine again later. Hydraulics can be very unpredictable because of seals, oils, etc. You could just replace the master and slave knowing that it may not fix the problem and...

    e9 clutch issues

    The pedal has a spring to return it to the top of the stroke. When you say the pedal kept getting lower and lower was it not returning back to the top or was the engagement getting lower and lower but the pedal still had full travel? Did it feel like the master or slave could be sticking and...
