Mechanicals / How to read bolt codes? Decode...
Last post by fichtl500 - Today at 04:36 AMWith the amount of lost and destroyed screws, I am dealing with their replacement. Is it possible to determine its size by the number of screws?
Right now I need the screws for the vibration damper: N 000912 008097

Mechanicals / Re: 6.9 WUR Part Identificatio...
Last post by Randys01 - Yesterday at 07:32 PMThat's a pretty crusty looking original fitting which if it's still working fine, I'd be leaving alone.
However I see you have a new Air slide valve so maybe you are just going thru it progressively for good measure.
Yes you can rebuild them yourself.......I would rate it medium difficulty. You will need some fuel press measuring gauges... a deft touch....and a fair bit of patience.
OR. ..You can have it professionally overhauled........Flowtech in the US seems to have a good reputation.
Some folk insist on the fuel distributor being checked at the same time as any fiddling with the WUR ie a matched pair.
Personally I have not had any issue in swapping out like WURs for like WURS but introducing a new WUR can theoretically start a bit if a chain reaction.

Last post by rumb - Yesterday at 05:58 PMTo me it looks like you are missing 85 or 86, look like a lenth of rubber tube.

Last post by daantjie - Yesterday at 11:41 AMI think CIS Flowtech is a good outfit for WUR rebuild in US. Not cheap though and long wait to get in as far as I know. They also do fuel distributor rebuilds.

Last post by diametricalbenz - Yesterday at 11:26 AMThis is excellent, thanks everyone. The door jamb says 5/77 which technically conflicts with the Bosch parts registry with a four month differential but that alone is fascinating. Since our cars were just 4 car lengths apart from each other on the factory assembly line it would make sense that 010's were on the cars even if it's just two data points.
It's only 1129ft here so altitude is not an issue and I don't plan on a hill climb with it anytime soon.
I am leaning towards sticking with the 010. Thoughts on specific rebuild kits or possibly a 3rd party refurbishment company SpecialTAuto.com since I am here in the states?

Mechanicals / Euro Headlight Part
Last post by john erbe - Yesterday at 10:41 AMIn follow-up to this thread, should anyone have this problem in the future. Here's photo received from Classic Center of the retainer. Their schematic drawing uses different numbers. In this case it's 751 as opposed to 87,90.

Last post by daantjie - Yesterday at 10:32 AMI have the 010 one on mine. But there are different styles with added features such as full load enrichment and altitude compensation.
The 010 has full load enrichment but no altitude compensation.
I think it's much of a muchness to be honest, I'd just stick with the one you have as likely it's the one it left the factory with.
Interestingly my chassis number is 2765 so our cars must have left factory the same week!

Last post by Max-NL - Yesterday at 10:31 AMAccording to Bosch (see attached pdf) the following WUR was used for USA delivered 6.9's :
- From 8/76 till 8/77 the 0 438 140 015 was used
- From 9/77 till end of production 0 438 140 010 was used
- For High Altitude cars from 9/77 till end of production 0 438 140 042 was used
See "Warmlaufregler" near the bottom from the list. Not sure what year your 6.9 is, but it may be the correct one.

Mechanicals / 6.9 WUR Part Identification
Last post by diametricalbenz - Yesterday at 10:13 AMSorry if this is elsewhere but I couldn't find it. My 6.9 has a 0 438 140 010 WUR warm up regulator. I believe this is incorrect. Should it be a 0 438 140 015? I am looking to either find a rebuilt unit or attempt to rebuild it myself but wanted to verify the correct part and or obtain the correct unit and rebuild kit.

Last post by john erbe - Yesterday at 09:52 AMThanks UTn. So using your drawing those retainers are 87 and 90. Correct?
