Mechanicals / Re: 6.9 WUR Part Identificatio...
Last post by Max-NL - 05 October 2024, 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 - 05 October 2024, 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 - 05 October 2024, 09:52 AMThanks UTn. So using your drawing those retainers are 87 and 90. Correct?

Last post by UTn_boy - 05 October 2024, 04:55 AMThe screws that hold the bulb reflectors to the headlight assembly weren't ever available separately....they only came with the whole lighting assembly. Only the rubber bushings that the reflectors pivot on were available, as well as the threaded retainers that the screws screw into. (part number 000-826-01-39). You'll either have to rescue some from spare parts units or find out the length and thread pitch of the screw and buy them online or from a local fastener store. The picture below should be very clear....hopefully better than what Classic sends.

Mechanicals / Euro Headlamps Part ID?
Last post by john erbe - 04 October 2024, 05:21 PMWorking with Classic Center to ID screw and back plate/washer that secures bowl from their schematic which is not the best. If anyone has drawing, maybe its parts 671 and 733, maybe? Note black screw in center hole of flange on driver side lamp. In photo of passenger side lap, three holes clearly visible on flange but now screw. I need that screw and the plate it screws into.

Mechanicals / Re: Window dilemma…
Last post by rumb - 02 October 2024, 10:00 PMIf you try to straighten them without out proper heat, they will break. Motors don't really have anything to take care of.

Mechanicals / Re: Window dilemma…
Last post by GoldNugget - 02 October 2024, 06:45 PMThank you both. I've seen so many people caution against trying to bend the regulators that I pretty much wrote that off, especially looking at the cost of some of the parts.
Is there any maintenance or repairs that can be done to the motors?
