Default Re: W126 Benz Oil Spec and Other Questions

I think MB system is a more simplified version of Citroens?
The only way I’ve found after research on diagnosing spheres or accumulators on MB SLS is measure how far the diaphragm is from the thread with a vernier or something that fits in there for reference, like a screw driver. Greater distance means they’ve lost pressure (apparently). I think I have a couple of good spheres somewhere I can check.
Bad spheres will have a bouncy ride, or if no pressure in them at all the ride will be rock hard.
Struts can also go bad an leak internally which can make them sit low in the rear end when parked.

Front bearings are tapered with adjustable pre load. Rear bearings not too sure.
Those engine mounts look buggered, looks like there is a visible split in one?

Failed odometer is common with age. Check out this site. I did my W140 odo gears and cost about $120 inc postage.

Cluster removal tool #140589023300 or use a couple of 90 degree picks but make sure you pull from the correct spot otherwise the pick can grab the cluster screen and crack it.
