Thank you - short and sweet answer!

Any other opinions here?

Hello everybody - What is your opinion of Holts Tyreweld as a substitute for carrying the spare wheel in the car??? https://www.holtsauto.com/holts/products/tyreweld/ I quote from the above link: "Unlike some of our competitors, Holts Tyreweld does not damage your tyres. After using Tyreweld, t...

Thank you to lhd and toomanytoys . I now see on Bernd Jaeger's website that he personally prefers a selectable solution as he finds that on sand the rear wheels dig in before the VC really wakes up BUT he also warns that on normal roads one should de-select, that is, rear wheel drive only, this to a...

Carrying on from my previous VC post: Also at busschmiede.de I read that it is possible to bypass the VC completely and make a modification to manually select 4WD - is that something anyone here has tried and/or would recommend? If it is relevant, my Syncro only has rear diff lock. If so, could one ...

Hello again everyone - VC this time (1992 T3 Syncro 1.6TD, 203,000 km): 1. As I understand it, normally the problem is that the VC is too tight, however mine is too "loose" in that it works, at least a bit, when my mechanic does the workshop test with VC in situ, that is, blocking wheels a...

Thanx Max and Caddy. Yes, precisely the same design as the one in the e-bay link you posted BUT the heading says "Mercedes C-Class W202 Alloy Wheel 15 Inch 7J ET37 2024010602 A2024010602" - note here it says 7J whereas mine are 6.5J, and ET37 is not to be found on mine, but the MB part num...

Hello everybody - 1. I got four 15 inch alloy rims without tyres when I bought my Syncro recently, said to be for a Mercedes-Benz model, and indeed they have a plastic press-fit MB star in the centre. Now, there is no manufacturer label or stamp anywhere on any of the 4 rims but there is a lot of da...

Thanks to all 3 of you! I am quite sure Donwhscc has the answer for there were absolutey no grating sounds or anything wrong mechanically when my mechanic checked it over immediately afterwards. BUT both CV gaiters were shredded and in fact I got new replacements + the appropriate grease from the pr...

thank you both of you!

I would like to put on the front bumper, as seen in a couple of photos on Syncronauts - I mean, it is the obvious place, is it not? More room inside, nothing heavy on the roof, and nothing blocking access to opening tailgate plus checking water and oil at the back. BUT - will it not interfere with e...

Have now done c 2,000 km in my "new" 1992 Syncro (253-297) and the other day something strange happened. For several kilometres the steering was "snatching" just like some invisible hand was tugging, mainly to the left. I concluded that the car must have power-steering and that t...

Is there an electrical engineer on this forum??? First I must confess that my problem has nothing to do with my Syncro but with providing limited electrical power for my homestead in the wild woods here in Bulgaria. Maybe next spring I will decide on solar and/or wind, or most likely biomass as I ha...

Thank you everybody!

Thank you Fabzzz - my local mechanic will soon get on top of the little things that need doing. He is repairing my Lada Niva at the moment - it is ALWAYS broken and it will have to go soon. Shame really for it drives and handles surprisingly well for such a short and high little car - but I have had...
