Fiddled with the rear dome light wiring a little, didn't fix... Started it up and drove out very nicely... glow plug light came on shortly after starting out... but glowed properly... guess I have to do the back three. I'm also running a little experiment on the old seals... soaking them in BioDiesel to see what they do... I hadn't realized that the last time I did this process was in 2003! that was SEVEN years ago!!!! Wow. http://johnmeister.com/DieselBenz/TECH/124-series/Pressure-Valve-Seal-Replacement-2010/ALL.html 5) 1981 VW Rabbit Diesel - oil change (amsoil 5w30), new horn, rear speakers next... paint? windshield? shift linkage? bedliner??? http://johnmeister.com/DIESELS/1981-VW-Diesel-Pickup/2010-Jan-30-wabbitWVOwun/P1110412.jpg it's 11:15pm already... wow... had mark help me vacuum out the jeeps, have been outside wrenching all day long... :) perfect weather... overcast and in the 40's. good day of wrenching... only thing left to do, low priority as well, the last three glow plugs, have the WJ heater core replaced, and of course the vw improvement... sure wish my J10 would get done... then I won't need to fix the VW any further. ;) I want to thank whoever had Murphy over at their place this weekend... appreciate it. Other than dropping my 3/8-1/4 socket adapter in the benz belly pan nothing went wrong!!! :) john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 si vis pacem, para bellum http://johnmeister.com http://wagoneers.com http://fotomeister.us - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2010 18:45:15 -0600 From: "Mike Petersen" Subject: xj: Re: Weekend wrenchfest - Snohomish Monster Carport John, Here is the link to where I used to get the parts for my Volkswagen Diesels. http://www.partsplaceinc.com/ Mike - ----- Original Message ----- From: "john" To: "undisclosed-recipients:" Sent: Monday, February 01, 2010 1:21 AM Subject: xj: Weekend wrenchfest - Snohomish Monster Carport after the WVO run on Saturday I started wrenching... 1) 2000 WJ - cleaned up interior and rephotographed... http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/1574228541.html 2) 1989 XJ - fixed dome light, front speakers, cleaned up, rephotographed... http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/1580091367.html 3) 1999 WJ - cleaned up interior, replaced dash lights... next, heater core... 4) 1991 300D - replaced valve pressure seals in the injection pump, replaced #1 glow plug (picked up three more from the dealer, but they're a different part number... so the back three are still original).
