System ran low sand started drawing in air which made it foam up and purge fluid out. Refill canister and purge air out of the fluid without engine running. Instructions are on this site.

You probably have a 190SL dip stick on your engine. 220SE would be correct.

Thank you in advance.

Drive train, fuel, suspension, steering & brakes / Correct Dipstick?

« Last post by acbrock on May 31, 2024, 19:47:44 »

Hi, so reading the tech manual I am not sure if I have the correct dipstick...  Someone looking at my car said I did not.
Tech manual says for the old style with the AirFiltered Vent should be stamped 220SE.  Mine is stamped 190?
Funny there is no measurement for the Early version but there is for the other two.
Not sure if you measure the Entire Stick or just the Metal piece that goes in?

Mine measures approx...
480mm for just the stick
570mm for the entire dipstick with filter.

Drive train, fuel, suspension, steering & brakes / Power Steering Leak

« Last post by acbrock on May 31, 2024, 19:33:28 »

So I suddenly am leaking some power steering fluid.  I noticed it a few weeks ago.  There was fluid all over the place. So I cleaned it all up hoping to find where it is coming from.  After a little driving this is the only place I see it? On top of the cap... Is it possibly coming out of these tiny vent holes on the top?   Is that normal? 

**Moving this Dipstick to a separate question....

W11x chassis cars / Re: W111 250SE Coupe Injector Pump Issues

« Last post by RichardGP on May 31, 2024, 19:21:20 »

Hello, thank you all for the helpful comments. Mine is the 'non-dipstick' style pump. The rear part of the pump is receiving a flow of continous, fresh, engine oil (with no fuel in it) coming through into to the rear section. It flows quite continously...about one drop every 5 seconds and a stream coming out from under the red breather 'oel' cap. I haven't taken the pump off yet to see if it has the drain return in the front section near the spline, but either way the oil should not be in the back section and under pressure? Suggestions I have received so far are that:
A) This is not normal for the rear part of the pump to experience oil pressure
B) Probably the seals around the lower parts of the front section are leaking or damaged
C) The pump will need to be repaired - H&R Fuel Injection or Jerry Fairchild were two suggestions. Any others?
Thanks all!

Richard.

Also, do you have the correct amount of oil in the pump? (Not overfilled?)
There is dipstick you can unscrew and verify.

All clear thanks. Just out of interest what is the 1020530358 seal for?

Hi,
The valve stem seal is the seal, there is no other seal (in the groove). The groove holds the seal in place.
The new all white seals are teflon seals and should be ok.
