I would really like it if someone could tell me everything that is involved. I am putting a liter of oil every 2 weeks and it is leaking between bell housing and tranny.

Actually I can do one better:
Part number is....
P 2700 203 07

I think the P stands for pliterature 2700 is the number of diamonds it took to make the special laser used for the encryption.. 203 and 07.. yeah got me.

Anyways.. there is the part number. It costs about $100.. worth every Benjamin.

Some things, someone can tell you the basics but with a big job like that, it's time to make the investment. $100? Wow, I paid 70 Overnight back when.

A special tool is required to align that rear seal on a M112/113 engine so better get the proper instructions. I don't have them. How about one of you chaps posting the pdf. I would like them for the Wiki.

I'll see what I can do. I'm a mac user stuck in windows world. And this DVD only runs on a pc. I'm able to print the pages.. but I want them as PDF's so they are good quality. Once I get that figured it I'll post it here.

The MB DVD runs just fine on a Virtual Box installation of Windows XP on my Mac. The best way I have found to export the pics to PDF is install Cute PDF Writer. Works like a charm.

I'll pull up the WIS documents today and post them here. To the OP, I assume you own a C240? Can I request that you update your profile with the year and model of your car? Makes it much easier for us to help and pull up the appropriate documents.

end cover replace

"
The crankshaft radial sealing ring (2) at
the end cover (1) cannot be exchanged.
This end cover (1) is fitted at the factory and
therefore must be replaced.
"

this is what it says on the pdf...

"fitted at the factory and must be replaced"

Does anyone know what this mean? why the end cover need to be
replace??

thanks

Wow, hadn't looked at the Wiki since it was 1st created, and nothing was there.
It's getting to be quite impressive.

I do have the work shop program running well but I haven't figured out how to print. I believe it requires setting up printer sharing on the virtual machine, butt I'm having no luck. Can someone give me some guidance please.
