| Hello,
| 1988 Wagon 300 TE w/ABS
|
| This weekend I changed all 4 caliperss, new Pads, new Rotors.
|
| I tried bleeding the system and I get nothing but air.
|
| I found a loose brake line to a front caliper and tigntened it.
|
| I still get no pedal while trying to pump and bleed.
|
| Today, I put in a new Master Cylinder and filled the brake lines from the
| master cylinder end before connecting the master cylinder, I used a fluid
| injector.
|
| Hooked up the master cylinder and tried to bleed the system. The brake
| fluid I had loaded the system with pumped through and now all I have is
air.
|
| I cannot find any leaks. This is the first ABS system I have worked on
and
| do not know if that is causing me difficulties or not.
|
| Has anyone had similiar difficulties with a `88 or so 300 series with ABS?
|

Have you tried using a pressure bleeding system? The one I use (although I
admit I haven`t used it on a car with ABS) uses air from the spare tyre to
force fluid through the brake pipes. It works very well, just make sure that
there are no leaks or brake fluid gets sprayed everywhere!
They should be available at any decent car accessory shop.

this is true. It helps to have an assistant topping off the reservoir.
If it goes down 3/4" it will take on air.

I just changed a brake caliper on my w123 280e. My manual said to
rotate the piston so the step on the face bearing on the pad should be
at a specific angle. I couldn`t move the piston to the required angle
so just stuck it on as it was. What will happen?

Title: El Gullwing está de regreso
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 17:49:04 +0000
Author: cochologo
Hace algunos meses les informé que el Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing de los 50´s estaba siendo rediseñado y estaba a punto de hacer un triunfal regreso. Pues ha llegado la hora y el Mercedes 300 SL, uno de los mejores coches de la historia, ha regresado bajo el nombre de SLS-AMG. Será presentado en el Autoshow de Frankfurt y puesto a la venta a principios del año que entra. Si bien el Gullwing original era de los coches más espectaculares y caros que había en la época su mecánica no correspondía con su imagen y su precio porque para entonces Mercedes estaba un tanto quebrada. De hecho el 300 SL se hizo fama de ser un auto bastante difícil de manejar que podía acabar muy rápido encima de un árbol. Ahora la historia es muy diferente y el nuevo SLS-AMG tiene muchos argumentos, 571 para ser exactos (me refiero a los caballos de fuerza…pal que no agarró), para jugar muy arriba en las grandes ligas. Además este modelo en específico tiene de su lado la historia y contra eso no hay ingeniero de la competencia que tenga una solución.
