New stuff/toys for end of year




Like a kid with new toys, me wanna share

A friend , his kid just came back from USA and carry all my toys back to Bali, Indonesia....LOL.
Too bad I am in Bali and not in Jakarta where my car is at.
Item 1 - Tesa 51036 special wire harness tape as used by MB in engine bay, the chaffing protection type.
Item 2 - Tesa 51608 special noise prevention/dampening fleece type tape as used by MB for interior.
Videos explaining them.
TESA 51036
Tesa 51608 -self explanatory
============
Item 3 is additional 4 channels thermocouple interface module for my Banks Gauge system.
I have prepared thermocouples at REAR Left caliper body, front FRONT left caliper body and ambient air temperature of engine bay 20ish cm from fan and the side (Bank2) of the aftercooler.
So I still got 1 more channel for future use.

============
Item 4 is a replacement Absolute Pressure sensor which on mine has drifted to 5psi and can't read zero anymore. It is to monitor vacuum leak if any on my vacuum system for brake booster and turbo boost solenoid.

=============
Item 5 - rear damper top mount (2) #850216 by SACHS which I am assuming must be the same as what MB is using, because my MB get SACHS rear damper set which I have replaced
with Bilstein B6 but the top mount is still original. Later I tried Lemforder for top mount replacement and it was a garbage !!! Hence I tracked down this SACHS. I hope it is the same as what's on my car. Source :
It seems I got screwed again this time. SACHS is owned by ZF aftermarket and so is Lemforder.
What I got is again a Lemforder in a SACHS box

SACHS, below image. Urrgggggghhhhh damn it !!!!
Where my damper piston/shaft circlip will sit is the same bad machining groove on this SACHS aka Lemforder
