Yeah Fuses.... I'm doing the PM thing with my 190D this weekend. This will be stage 1, that is the stuff I'll do myself, quickie lube (which I acutally trust, surprise surprise) will do phase 2. So I'm going to change the fuses, change the oil to Mobil 1 5w40, change the PS Fluid and fuel filters. Is there a primer pump on a 201? Mines a '85 2.2l if it makes any difference. I think I'd read that the 201 was self priming but I'm not sure. My Chiltons (I know, its garbage but it was free) only goes up to '84 and indicates there is a primer pump so I'm confused... I'm sure theres something else I've planned but I can't remember. Oh wait, oil cap gasket and hood strut. Phase 2 includes the rear diff and coolant. The quickie lube doesn't carry MB coolant but will put in whatever I bring with me. I'm actually pondering putting in the green stuff for a few months as a flush and then switching to the MB stuff. I don't dare put in just water for a flush because its way too cold, 11F this morning, so if I had to leave it in overnight even it'd be very easy to get myself into trouble. Brakes were already done by my Indy. Is it just me or is the parking brake system on the 201 not as robust as the 123? My 2 123's and the other 2 123s I've driven all had good parking brakes. The 2 201s I've driven both had non-functioning ones. -Curt Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2006 18:32:12 -0800 From: Desert Rat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Preventive Maintenance To: Mercedes Discussion List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I left the hotel at something like 2am. I can't remember the highway I was on but it was going at like 90mph. I figured I'd better keep up or else but traffic was light so I limited myself to 85mph because of the donut spare. Then I had to get onto another highway (again I can't remember the number) and got stuck for awhile because of an accident and ended up doing 110mph at one point (and just keeping up) to make up time... I was just talking to one of my co-workers about crazy driving, he was telling me about driving a stretch in NYC which was nerve wracking but apparently nothing compared to just driving at all in Mexico City or Kuala Lampur. -Curt Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2006 23:40:01 -0600 From: Robert & Tara Ludwick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Bike rider, loud pipes To: Mercedes Discussion List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed No joke on the LA trafic, I drove a bus in that town for a few years, that was a test of nerves, although I had one friend who was never bothered by it...he drove a semi in Mexico City for 15 years, LA traffic was a vacation for him. at midnight when everyone is doing 85, you'd better too. I was driving west on I10 at about 1:30 am one time about 25 years ago , driving the speed limit 55. I got pulled over by the highway patrol and given a drunk test. After passing with flying colours, the guy told me that he had pulled my over because the only people driving the speed limit there at that time of night were drunk!
