Title: 280SL 1968 Water temperature indicator
Post by: Thierry du Laos on January 17, 2016, 12:58:49
When I bought the car, the transmiter tube of the temperature system was broken.
I bought a brand new set. But running the engine, it would never show an increase in temperature.
I found out that the dilatation part in the indicator was interfering inside the central indicator box.
I had to grind the inside of the box, to fit properly and get a free movement and correct indication!!!!!!!!
Hard work on these indicators as I have big hands!!!!!!!
