IM EARLY THIS TIME! Love your videos, I’m rebuilding my front suspension because of how detailed you are! Thank you for not selling information.
No problem man I'm so glad the videos are helping.
Excellent video! Thank you for posting it!
;)
Removed my dash a few weeks ago to replace diaphragms in the vacuum pods. Big job, but much more manageable than I thought it would be!
Yeah it's not so bad once you know how.
@@woodsandbarclay Does the service manual document the process for removing the dash?
@@timfetner8029 I don't know I've never looked I just learned it from an older mechanic that showed me how to do it.
Great video John, and very interesting getting a peek behind the dash. Lots of things going on back there! I wonder why they decided to put the window relay all the way behind the dash like that. I would have thought it would have been somewhere close to the switches in the center console. However, as smart as the Germans are I’m sure there was a logical reason for the location.
The window relay is actually really easy to access it's right behind the gauge cluster. It takes about 5 minutes to pop out the gauge cluster and then you have access to it.
@@woodsandbarclay Gotcha! Dealing with the dash and gauge cluster looks intimidating but I imagine if you do it a couple of times you get the hang of it. Kinda like the throttle linkages.
Wow John ! Thank you for showing under the dash! I’ve always wanted to see what it’s like. What a beautiful car. That color is stunning
;)
Great documentation...thanks 😉👍
Thank you Michael
very timely for me )) I have a 1983 300SD that I'll be fixing climate controls on soon...
Awesome good luck it'll be a fun project!
Respect!
I have a W124 300e 1987 with 130,000KM (81,000 miles). But it's still 35 years old and this scares me. LOL.
I'd love you do do a W124 some time.
Australian based. My car was Hong Kong delivered originally. RHD.
Good low mileage 124 diesels are so hard to find there's not many out there but would love to do it if I can find one!
You looks tired of course working hard I have 300d 1985 need some work u are far I am inCalifornia
It's definitely hard work but I love what I do!
Wow! Do you think Lunpkin hydrolics could rebuild the Oil Cooler Hoses too?
Yes any reputable hydraulic shop can do that
Is it impossible to remove the AC unit with the dash in place ?
If you're talking about the AC evaporator yes you have to take the dash out.
👍
Thank you
Do u trading the car I have 1985 300d
My contact information is on the website please send me an email with more details.
So my manual HVAC 1980 240d has no vacuum pods. Right?
If it's manual then I would assume no because the vacuum pods are used to automate the vents opening.
