thank you i always enjoy your picture tutorials. btw this finally cured your rough idle right?

 

WOW, thanks for the GREAT pictures and DIY!!!:thumbsup:

 

oh i didnt read the bottom part till now i didnt know that the mounts are replaceable. is there 2 or 1 since i am thinking mine is missing one

 

There are TWO, one on each side of the rear of the engine.

Sorry I didn't take pics of me exchanging for the new mounts... but there are TWO PIECES to the Mount.

You have to use your imagination here.... Look at the third to last photo (with the screwdriver). You see the Mount. On the BOTTOM half, there is the "Rubber" portion. Well, that "rubber" part is exactly that... a piece of Rubber, with Screws going out of EACH END.

One end screws into the Engine block, while on the OTHER end, there is a "HEX-Shaped" Cap which screws onto the Top of the rubber mount.

If yours is completely MISSING, then you need to order BOTH pieces.

Let me know if you need any more assistance.

What would a mercedes DIY be without the obligatory Rolex on the wrist, LOL.
I love that! G-AMG you always do a nice job with your photo expose's, thanks for all your contributions.You have helped many.:thumbsup:

 

Jewelry



The Rolex does not impress me, but the really smart DIYer would remove all jewelry before working on any car, right????? :wink

im gonna buy a used fpr valve for my 92 500sel and I was wondering if I could get one from any w140 or does it have to be from a 500sel

 

Looking on autohausaz . com, they give the same Bosch part number for a 92 500SEL fuel pressure regulator as for my 1997 S600. With a new one available for $60, I would recommend just buying new.

It would seem to make a lot of sense from a design and manufacturing point of view to have all of your engines have the same fuel pressure specifications, so I wouldn't be surprised if they are all the same.

hey what are the signs of a fpr goin bad or not working right..

 

Sorry, I wish there was a way I could somehow "Link" these two together...

This will explain my troubles:

I'm going to pick one up for the S 500 today... $80 part? Hope this cures the hard starts when warm and funky idle when in park! Thanks for the pictures!

 

Old thread, but does anyone know the part number for the short 3'' or so pre-formed vacuum hose that is on the fuel pressure regulator? Thanks.
