I think the "Sachs stuff is crap" mentality, comes from folks putting a standard Sachs clutch between a turned up truck engine and 7,000lb+ of vehicle. I know with the ZF-5 behind my 7.3 powerstroke most folks overfill them by about a quart to help with gear roll over noise. I'd imagine it's difficult to do that with a car trans.
I agree, I've found Sachs to be the best "standard" clutch plate.... but this could mean the alternatives were even worse......plus we worship this dpuk man as a god..... rather my gf does...... handsome 😈! Lol
The Sachs thing could be down to counterfeit parts. The counterfeiters generally pick a high end partto copy badly and sell them cheaply. Then pass them to folks looking for bargains through eBay or Amazon. I once bought branded wheel bearings that you could dent the races with a centre punch. They seemed fine for a week. The guy on eBay sold hundred s of them. I never did get my money back. Mind you I have had the same problem with bearings from euro car parts.
I have been looking at that ebay ad every other day for a while now, but ideally I'm looking an older model with an om606 and touch more hp. Great video as always
No fluffing around here, good stuff man. Normally on RU-vid you have to drag this kind of stuff out for two or three episodes and then push your merchandise repeatedly 🤣
It's the holding force that's is important in combination of clutch material. Yes you will get a hard pedal but a firm grasp NO slip or burn. I have 500lb on my fj cruiser much better over stock in performance and towing
Got a business idea. Built 20 Mercedes C111 replicas with your OM 606 drivetrain. This car of the 70's still has legendary status . The problem would be to get the permission from Mercedes Benz. And first you'd have to build a proof of concept.
3:22 My daily is a 6-Speed W204. I can can tell you for a fact, their beenany a times when I wasn't paying attention to the light, and after getting beeped at I panic into "1st" but actually in R. And neary back into the car behind me😢
share with your rock star friends , dieselpump uk is the goat if yr pockets have some depth, ......btw could you switch it up a bit more guy ritchie for your cousins on this side of the screen
Do you have any experience with the baldur dsl1 controller for an EDC pump? I love the idea of cruise control in my 606 swapped 6 speed 350sdl, plus egt safteys and such. It's for towing my drift car and some light hooning fun.
11:24 Can I invide you to German Autobahn constructions? I was once in 3km construction on A45 with a R55 JCW Mini with it´s standard fault (a camshaft issue). That results in "keeping the RPM high enough to not let the engine stall otherwise it will restart in limpmode". = 2h nonstop on the clutch pedal, on-off
Can anyone help me as their is not much info on the tinterweb but did the w124 come standard with a turbo om606 if so how do I know what to look for as I much prefer the w124 shape to the later model and w124 wagons seem more readily available, looking to turn it into a superturbo diesel, what model had the om606 turbo as I've read that na turbo conversion is a pain
