[Vwdiesel] 190 Benz questions

[James Hansen]

Climate control servo.
Price one.  If it's leaking, you will wind up replacing this part.  It's
$$$. Prolly more than the car is worth.
They are usually shot on older cars if the system doesn't work.
I was told that the heads are especially prone to coolant passage oxidation
from poor antifreeze maintenance.
Wheel bearing needs a special tool but I'm sure you can come up with
something to substitute that will do the job.
Bimbyparts (rusty) has the best prices around and the service is quite good.
Drop ships in a coupla days to USA. Peckers don't ship to Canada however.
The server was cacked a couple days ago but should be up again by now.
