Suck

[Merc]

Does anyone know how good/bad one of those fluid transfer  things are,y'know the things that Merc dealers use to "take out" engine oil.
I'm temted to order one from that mob down south Justofftools,has anyone used one?

Regards

My friend has used one. Mercedes engines were designed to use top siders. He 'sucked' the oil out once, and got more out with a top sider than draining normaly.

Top siders are not that expensive either.

Whats a top sider?

 

[Merc]

Ah,**** Iv'e realised thats what you call one of those things innit'?

Merc, I bought one and it is **** hot. Just run the engine up to temp, poke the pipe in , a few pumps and hey presto! Just be aware of the capacity- it may not hold a sump full at one go. With the oilfilter being on top it makes the job dead easy- no more grovelling about on your back with oil up your sleeve.
 BTW how's the car now?

not bad at all,mind you I'm after a 300E 24v (if I can get it),and that'll do do me.
The 230 is ok but it hasn't got any Oomph',well thats what I find anyway,but I suppose it'll have to do just now,mind you its a pitty you cant get a 16v head,now that'd be a bit quicker,I suppose I could also get it "chipped".
Or just save up a bit more and get the 300E 24v,now that'd nice!.

What I meant to say Dave,how do you know when "down at the bottom"with the tube.
Well the again,I suppose when youv'e "sucked up" what would be the right amount then you'll know,right!

It's dead easy, Merc, you can feel the pipe hit the sump- there's nowt else in the way. Sorry to hear about the grief with the motors, hope you get sorted soon.
