Mechanicals / Re: W116 6.9 vacum advance tem...

Last post by Randys01 - 13 April 2024, 12:36 AM

The photo depicts a V8 with K jetronic..so that limits the scope.
The arrows point to the distributor  port that ordinarily connects to the vacuum valve on the firewall to increase the advance when the a/con is switched on.

I cannot see what the other arrow is indicating. I cannot read German so it's a bit hard !
but the gizmo /temp control sender seems unique.I've not come across this before.

Why they need to do this seems crazy coz if ever a car was going to run hot at hi speed it would have to be Australia and they are not fitted to 6.9's at least !
The article you are referencing appears to be a full service manual extract..ie .it is not a "bulletin amendment?"

Let's see what else presents!

I am selling some of the parking pennants I have in stock
The mounting brackets I have are probably for R107 and W126, so you d have to find your own way to mount them.

One type is chrome with lighting under the transparent star, the others chrome with chrome star.
I have 4 of each available.
They are not NOS, but in very respectable condition.
