Howdy!
Ive just bought a 1975 w115 240d and for the life of me cant figure out a few things! Ive been searching several forums over the last week but i just cant seem to find out the answers to a few things that are bugging me so any help would be massively appreciated.
Firstly, can anyone tell me what the combo is on the heater controls, its fine atm but i cant seem to figure out what does what exactly. I realise the central turn nob adjusts the front vent defroster but the vents in the centre dash seem to only blow cold (whilst the defroster blows hot). Also the footwell are getting warm air.
Secondly, i seem to have a leak of oil coming from the top of what looks like the power steering reservoir, its a reddish liquid that is making its way out of the top fly nut and coating everything round it. Any guesses on the best way to fix this, ive read that replacing the standard washer with a rubber one may help?
thirdly, whats the right level for the engine coolant? i open the radiator and liquid is sitting just about the metal but i cant see any line or anything to figure out where it should be.
Lastly, i have a small oil leak sitting just behind the sump. the previous owner seems to think its a leak from the servo but it looks like engine oil to me. There seems to be a rubber gasket on the backside of the sump (drainage i guess) so im wondering if this may be the problem. Need to fill her up again and see exactly where its coming from...in the meantime whats the best oil for her? i live in norway so it gets cold here pretty soon so was thinking 10 40 for the oil, that sound right?
Any help greatly appreciated!
