Might be worth it to pull it and check the connections. My 300SD's tach is intermittant too. I suspect a bad connection somewhere. Hopefully not in the Hall effect sensor itself. I'm told that there are sometimes issues with the grounds at the instrument cluster. - Jerry Kaidor ( jerry-at-tr2.com ) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2006 15:53:52 -0400 From: Marc Z Subject: Re: [db] '83 300D Tachometer Yep, I've got the same issue on my '83 300D sedan. Every once in a while, it goes from 0 to 3000 rpm for a short while, and then back down when at highway speeds. Marc Z.

So I bent over and... Conventional wisdom is to change all the O-rings in the refrigeration circuit when you convert to R134A. OK, I bought a little O-ring kit at the Autozone for $5. Nope, none of those fit. So then I went to the NAPA - they only had four kinds, but knew of a place round the corner "global metric" that had more. Global Metric had a veritable treasure trove of 40 different sizes, all the proper HNBR material, all five cents apiece. Still no joy. So I went to the Mercedes dealer. FORTY FIVE DOLLARS LATER I walked out with 8 small HNBR O-rings. Two of them were about 1/2 inch in diameter, the other six about 1/4 inch in diameter. I left the Mercedes dealer with a feeling that I normally associate more with aircraft parts. - Jerry Kaidor ( jerry-at-tr2.com ) ------------------------------ End of diesel-benz-digest V1 #2171 **********************************
