Want to trade for Vacuum Pump - Purplecomputer - 02-04-2013
Hey guys,
Long time huh?
I want to see if anyone is willing to trade me for something that I might have for a used but in working and good condition vacuum pump for my 240D.
Want to get the car running again.
-Angelo
Just PM with an offer or email @ apoggi226@gmail.com

Get a Ford diesel vac pump-they're electric and run around $70. You can also get a belt driven one, but then you have to get it all setup with the merc belt layout.

I got one. When do you need it by ?
Can you do electronic stuff or just swap for consultant expert info !

I was just looking to swap it, unless its easier to switch it to electric and more reliable.
RE: Want to trade for Vacuum Pump - Greazzer - 02-04-2013
You are tooo funny !
I have a OEM Stock MB Vacuum pump. I was suggesting a swap with you for either
1. Electronic work ... pretty simple ideas I have OR
2. You give me consultant expert info to direct me into the right direction ....
I'm still chuckling ...
Let me know !

Oh, I had no idea what you meant. What kind of electronic work?
RE: Want to trade for Vacuum Pump - Greazzer - 02-04-2013
You do computer stuff or something like that ?
If you have a minute, can you jump on FleaBay and there is a guy who sells these timers for WVO. Looks pretty simple. I just need info or maybe the work to make these. I will buy all the stuff. Also, I need to figure out how to program or wire / install a gauage that has split readings. EG: Oil Temp going in (one 1/2 of a gauge) and Oil Temp going out (2nd half of the gauage).

Yeah I do computer stuff. send me the link and ill see. That may fall more into the realm of engineering but i might be able to get someone to help with coding if there is any type of chips required.
RE: Want to trade for Vacuum Pump - Greazzer - 02-05-2013
OK ... let me find it. The guy posts his items and then it disappears and then it comes back again. I think it is really simple since all it is is a thermostat which triggers an electrical signal. For example, once the grease hits 160F, then it triggers a solonoid. Then, when you're a minute from your desitation, hit the switch and it purges and flushes and goes back to diesel. I saw a bunch of gauges which have 2 gauages built into one. I want to monitor oil in and out (tempature).
RE: Want to trade for Vacuum Pump - sassparilla_kid - 02-05-2013
I just used two on off switches for my wvo system, one for fuel supply and one for return, so that enabled me to purge for however long I wanted or even move fuel back and forth between tanks if I wanted. The only time I ever had a problem was when I accidentally left it in the "purge" setting and diesel filled the veg tank and then overflowed through the vent in the tank and partially flooded my trunk lol

I have a greasecar "coPilot" it has all the features you want. Why try to make something when we might be able to trade for it? It comes with the screen, a computer that goes under the dash and a wire harness.

Slick. I prefer the aircraft cockpit however-600 gauges and switches. Scares most people away-no one will ask you to borrow your car.

OK ... Vacuum pump for this co-pilot item ? Deal then. BTW. Does this have a universal hook up / application or does it just work for Greasecar items ? If it is somehow unique, I doubt I will have the electrical genius to bypass whatever that is particular to that company's item.
Let me know. I can have your pump shipped this weekend.
RE: Want to trade for Vacuum Pump - Purplecomputer - 02-07-2013
Whats the condition of the pump?
RE: Want to trade for Vacuum Pump - Greazzer - 02-08-2013
Nice working condition. The check valve is good too. Once you get it and you're not 100% happy, I will ship you another. However, it works. Not sure what to look for to determine if it's the cats pajamas of VPs or just the run of the mill working good VP. I will shoot you a bunch of pictures if you want. Let me know. BTW -- can that magic control box be hooked up to universal components in a WVO system???

Im going to have to spend a weekend removing the wire harness but Ive hooked up non greasecar branded pumps and other things and they worked but not sure about solenoids. i can test them.
