Scared the hell outta me because I was on the highway at the time doing 70 mph. I got off the highway onto slower streets, and the problem has never happened since. Just that one press was all it was. It might have been pad kickback. Pad kickback happens when the rotor shifts enough, usually under heavy cornering loads, to push the brake pads back into the calipers. When you step on the pedal, nothing happens at first because you're pushing the pads back into position. It feels very similar to the first pump or two when you're seating new pads after a brake job. Some cars have particular problems with this. I've never heard of it happening on a Mercedes, but maybe if the wheel bearing play is excessive?

That's probably true in diesel Mercedes engines, but it's NOT necessarily true for other makes. My Honda Civic's owner's manual recommended 7500 mile changes on dino oil, or 3000 for severe service. I considered my driving habits and decided to split the difference and change every 5000 miles.

i can't really fully grasp why the military changed from such a completely proven and effective weapon as the 1911. i'm told it was cost savings. i also suspect that the influx of women into the military also has something to do with it (not that a woman could not be trained in the use of the 1911 as well as a man could be, but the 9 is more comfortable to shoot) also of interest is that units allowed to choose their own weapon do not choose 9s. outside of NYPD, i can't think of any major force in law enforcement using 9mm. i suppose the FBI is simply arithmetically challenged as well At 04:30 PM 8/27/2005, you wrote: I have to agree with you there Gary, I was in the army in the 80's when they switched to the M9 Beretta from the M1911 45.

Re: [MBZ] mobile-1 1800 mile test
The answer of course is it depends. This is the way it was explained to me. Using dino oil for 10-20-30 years leaves behind sludge. The sludge froms in front of mating serfaces and allowes gaskets to dry out. It used to be adding synthetic, that had so many more cleaners and was more fuild would clean out the sludge, and since the gasket was dried out, would seap through and show up as a leak. Mobile-1, and others, have fixed the situation, by adding gasket rejouvanators that rehydrate gaskets. Some have noticed that oils leaks going away after adding synthetics. Now if you don't have leaks, and sludge is blocking off a large leak then you may notice a new leak.. Good luck.

Peter Changing oil at 3kmi intervals is USUALLY very safe, but can be VERY wasteful. There is NOTHING wrong with Delo 400 or other group II oils (usually with VERY advanced additive packages) running considerably longer than 3kmi, but you can't count on how much longer it will last without testing. Few group I oils (that MUST use considerable quantities viscosity improvers to meet multigrade specifications) will last much longer than 3kmi because the VIs will breakdown and that's what results in MOST sludge and causes oil consumption to increase after a few kmi. It's seldom the base oil that breaks down. Most group III synthetics (like Rotella, Valvoline, Pennzoil, Quaker State, etc. synthetics) will last somewhere between conventional oil and the Group IV V synthetics - the actual life usually depends on the amount and type of VI used. One reason why most Group IV and V synthetic oils last longer or MUCH longer is because they use fewer or NO VIs. A car that is exclusively highway driven MAY permit the change interval to be extended 2-3X or even more, but it depends on a LOT of factors that many people are unwilling/unable to keep track of. Unless the engine reaches optimal temperature and remains at that temp for 10-15 minutes or more each time it's started, water and some other combustion by-products will NOT be boiled off so the oil will need to be changed more frequently. Operation in very cold, wet or dusty conditions require MORE frequent oil changes.

Depends! If a hole is partially or entirely blocked by engine sludge, then changing to a Mobil synthetic will likely cause the engine to lead MORE (this is rare). You probably REALLY don't want to own most such an engine however! Such an engine has been abused. If the leak is from a slightly shrunken seal however, changing to Mobil synthetics will usually reduce or even stop the leak as they have incorporated an effective seal treatment into the additive package.

[MBZ] Oli Pressure gauge reads high, dosen't move!
I remember this popped up a few weeks ago, but I missed it and can't find it in the archives... So when my 300td fires up, the oil pressure gauge pegs at the 3 setting on the gauge (milibar???) Then it doesn't go down when I let off the gas and let the motor idle I seem to think that it starts moving about after it warms up...( the car has sat for the last few months) But I want to make sure I'm not running it this way and it could cause damage! Any thoughts? Clogged line somewhere? Also, do these 2300td's (84) have the self-leveling suspensions? I just read a reference to it in the Chiltons manual. I thought they ran straight shocks...

Approved oil of the proper viscosity should cause the needle to peg when the engine is started cold - and may remain pegged until the engine has run for 5-15 minutes. Then the needle usually will drop to between 1 and 2 bar at hot warm idle. If oil viscosity becomes too high (because you are using an unsuitable oil, oil additive or the oil is contaminated in some way), the needle may read high. Simply change to an approved oil type and viscosity. If oil pressure get too high (above about 6 bar) there are relief valves in the filter housing and the pump housing that will open and prevent any problem. Only problem with running a non-diesel rated oil (now that fuel sulfur has been reduced to less than 0.05%)) is that it will not handle soot as well and will require changing somewhat sooner.

If you needed to know that the pressure was 6, Mercedes could have given you a gauge that read 6! They give you a gauge that carefully reads where oil pressure is critical - between 0 and 3. You NEED to know that the pressure is at least 3 when the rpm is 2500-3000 rpm or higher and is always above 0.5 at idle. That's the critical range. You SHOULD be sure that the oil is suitable for a diesel. I recommend a CF or better rating and an xW-40 or xW-50 rating (CH-4 thru CI-4 rated oils are probably a bit more desirable, but that's hardly critical). The x should be some number between 0 and 15 (I don't know of a diesel rated 20X-xx oil but there MIGHT be one there somewhere). Most conventional diesel rated oils are 15W-40. In MY OPINION the best of these diesel 15W-40 oils are Chevron Delo 400 and Mobil Delvac 1300. The others commonly available in the US (Rotella, Exxon, Castrol, etc.) are inferior, rather ordinary, but can certainly provide suitable lubrication.

It was a political move designed to more align is with out NATO allies. The same allies who for the most part, sat back and watched us invade Iraq.

Re: [MBZ] 123 Brakes
Well, this happened while I was going straight down the highway at speed. No cornering involved. I've also had times when my brakes would be piss poor after the car sat for a while. There'd be a good shudder under braking. I'd drive really carefully on backroads for a while while applying pressure to even them out. They're fine now. Doesn't mean that I don't need a brake job tho. Tim 1982 300TD Moby On 8/27/05, David Brodbeck [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: TimothyPilgrim wrote: I had the reverse problem one time. I pushed down on the brake and it went totally soft, almost to the floor. Scared the hell outta me because I was on the highway at the time doing 70 mph. I got off the highway onto slower streets, and the problem has never happened since. Just that one press was all it was. It might have been pad kickback. Pad kickback happens when the rotor shifts enough, usually under heavy cornering loads, to push the brake pads back into the calipers. When you step on the pedal, nothing happens at first because you're pushing the pads back into position. It feels very similar to the first pump or two when you're seating new pads after a brake job. Some cars have particular problems with this. I've never heard of it happening on a Mercedes, but maybe if the wheel bearing play is excessive? ___ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net

[MBZ] 84 300Dt Climate Control
A buddy of mine has a '84 300Dt and is having problems with his A/C. Here's whats happing. When he turns on the A/C it will blow cold air for about 2 or 3 days. Then the Blower Motor fuse No.8 blows and also the Rear window Defrost fuse No.10 blows. I haven't had time to pull the blower motor and check it for crud. Does anybody have the PDF for the Climate Control system? My CD doesn't have the Climate Control wiring diagram. We have disconnected the Rear Window switch from the system and it's still blowing the fuse. The PO had problems with the window switches and had some IDIOT work on them. We are still trying to sort out that problem. So I don't know what else he did to the electrical system. Any ideas or advise will greatly appreciated.

Re: [MBZ] gun post (car only guys delete)
Agreed. I'm in the smaller, lighter, faster camp. Allows me to carry more ammunition, be more accurate, have less recoil, and shoot more often. The guy who just knocked the cow down was almost certainly using hollow point bullets. Cow's gotta thick skull, you hit it there with a hollow point and the force gets dispersed. For that shot you use a smaller FMJ to let that thing zip into the cranial cavity and bounce around. For self defense I've got a .357 mag Ruger Security six. 125grain HP or semi-wadcutters pack a whallop. No need to load it hot so recoil isn't really an issue. Lets also remember that 9mm is not so much smaller than .380 in diameter... -Curt Date: Sat, 27 Aug 2005 21:21:39 -0400 From: JabbaHursty [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] gun post (car only guys delete) To: Mercedes mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii it's an endless source of debate, but there seems more to it than calculating simple force i tend to be in the big and slow camp. 230grain hollowpoint .45 ACP is my choice for carry. in terms of a defensive handgun, my thought is .45 ACP or .357 magnum i just got the casull to be stupid. i do intend to get proficient with it though, but i don't imagine it will ever be a practical defensive weapon - Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page
Re: [MBZ] gun post (car only guys delete)
Actually it reads more like small and slow vs. big and slow.

[MBZ] Finally fixed my sagging rear - on my car, that is
Shipmates, Yesterday I had a few spare hours, so I installed a new control valve (thanks Rusty - less than $200!!) for the self-leveling system on rear axle of my '85 300TD. Loaded down the back of the car with ~400lbs, bled it out, cycled it up and down a few times. Unloaded the car, and then drove over a set of bumps several times. I think I've achieved success. Right now the star-to-fender-lip height is just under 13 inches. No change in height after sitting for ~24 hours. I checked the return line at the reservoir - no more drip, drip, drip. I'm going to play with the adjusting arm, and try to get it closer to 12.75 inches, before I call it completely done. Thanks to all who offered advice, especially David Bruckman. Now I've got two old valves to play with, going to see if I can fix those and sell them on Ebay. Very respectfully, /s/ LCDR Meade M.
