Some of the finger print readers read the temperature differences between the ridges and grooves, the one on the HP iPaq for instance.

Re: [MBZ] 300E, 305K miles
This would be a 300E with a 3.0L, M103 inline 6 engine. It's quite a robust powerplant really, but old-school technology with quasi-mechanical fuel injection that is a real bear to keep working properly. (Don't ask how I know.) It's also underpowered, IMO. However, the engines should last a LONG time. They usually need a valve job (guides/seals) by 150k, the symptom is high oil consumption (quart per 1500 miles or worse). But the bottom ends usually last almost as long as the diesels. If properly maintained, I wouldn't be surprised to see 500k+ on the original engine, with a couple of valve jobs in between. 300k wouldn't scare me away if the car was cheap, ran well, didn't blow smoke or puke fluids. I'll probably end up selling my pristine 300E eventually, simply because I just don't like the anemic (torque-free) powerplant, and the (relative to a diesel) poor MPG. :-) -Dave M. -- Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2005 17:32:30 -0500 From: Tom Scordato [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] E 300 305K miles Larry T is reported to have said Also, with 305k what kind of work has been done to the engine tranny?

[MBZ] VW P/U
Hi, All. I've had 2 81 VW's, Rabbit and Dasher wagon, The only fuel related problem that I had with either of them was that the hose from the tank to the fuel line, in the rear of the car , was braided hose and when checked (finally!) was found to be wet. (sound familiar?). Replacing the hose let me park the car and an hour later restart, just as it's supposed to, and not have the fuel run back to the tank due to air creeping in through the failing hose. This was especially troublesome when parked facing uphill. Check all of the fuel hoses, would be my first job before forking over the cash.

Marshall: I know of two turbos that have failed in exactly that fashion, one on my car and one on someone else's. Both showed serious lack of boost at low speed cold and both showed excessive oil consumption. One (the MB one) blew blue smoke on acceleration. My volvo TD didn't, but the exhaust was full of coked oil and actually caught fire after the turbo was replaced (quite an experience, having burning carbon blow out the exhaust!). The failure is not primarily a seal failure, it's a bearing failure. They do wear out eventually, and bad bearings usually result in seal failure before the turbo stops working altogether. Peter

I think headlights too and also the warning sign in trunk, although, like headlights, you can add that. I found one for the SD and the plastic bracket at the last OkieQ. Everything snaps right in place. (esp if Lt. Don is there to tell you that you've got the bracket turned the wrong way!) Very cool. Also comes with any car that was European delivery.

The 350SDL is worth the the $ 5,600, for the chassis alone. You must count on replacing the motor- it will fail. The motor should be purchased as a rebuilt unit from Mercedes, with a 50,000 mile guarantee or 4 years. Do not consider any other options. To do this you must be prepared to perform the labor yourself or have deep pockets. Regards, Constantine

Re: [MBZ] AKP-Wagen conundrum...
I have been thinking more and more of taking my bike. Starting the SD at 20 degrees and driving it 6 blocks is painful. 15 miles on a bike - that's a pretty good work out. I jogged for one season and got from being able to jog for 1 minute (and getting near heart attack level) to being able to go 4.5 miles 3 times/week. I bet 15 miles on a bike is about equivalnet to 4.5 miles of jogging. You must have kept in shape. No shower here at work, so in KC summer heat, even 6 blocks, you might get...unpleasant.

And if not, does it use any oil? If the first answer is Yes then it's probably worth the price. If both answers are no then it's probably still worth the price as long as you understand that you may be facing engine issues in the near future. If the engine has not been replaced and it's using any amount of oil then I'd run away, fast. And then, maybe Kaleb can buy it for $500.00.. Thanks, Tom Hargrave 256-656-1924 www.kegkits.com

Don't lose any of the big washers, and remember the order they came out! the car has a turn valve between the auxiliary water pump and the heater core. Not sure why they put this there, others have said this is not a production config. Also the AC doesn't work. Somebody was having trouble with either the monovalve and/or the control circuit of same, but coolant wasn't shutting off and they were getting heat when they didn't want it. Enter manual valve. The monovalve gets slow PWM 12V, and when energized corks off the coolant flow. You can put a test light or meter on it to see if it's getting told to do reasonable things. Or just unplug the valve's electrical connector and see if heat shuts off during your drive or not. If it's still getting cold in the cabin, it's got to be the valve itself, or some other plumbing problem. There's a reason the monovalve insert is so cheap and easy to replace! -- Jim

Re: [MBZ] 1991 350SDL
For my money, the 126 SDL is the best long distance car there is. Period. the end. I am not convinced there is anything newer or older that is better. They are comfortable, relatively economical, and still attractive nearly 30 years after the initial design. (I was told by someone the design concept started in 75) My 86 is exactly like the car featured in the 1986 S class sales booklet. It is the only car I ever had that I thought was beautiful. the 67 Chevelle SS 396 in bright metallic blue was a close second. I had about $10 grand in my 86 SDL after purchase and initial fixup. I have driven it over 200,000 miles, and it is STILL a wonderful car. After rebuilding the suspension and new Bilsteins, it is now better than ever. It runs strong, and if the cancer didn't get it, i'd never need another car. I'd fix it forever. Being in a cancer zone, I will probably start using it winters only after this winter. Even with the cancer bug, it has been less expensive than any other choice in its size range. A 123 will still run cheaper. a 201 190D or a 124 diesel will probably run cheaper. But the 126 is a beautiful, comfortable car. 91 sounds better when you tell neighbors and friends what your car is, but 86-91 SDLs are all great, save the 350 engine problems as noted. If you plan to keep and drive the 91 SDL, then if it doesn't have a factory replacement engine, factor that into the purchase price. If you will put at least 200K on it, then you can easily justify the cost of a factory replacement engine, if it needs one.

Re: [MBZ] Fuel Mileage of a Suburban with 6.2 6.5 Diesel engines
Both are good vehicles. The 6.2 might be a little better because it wont have the electronic IP on it. Wont have as much power though. Depending on the rear end, an older 6.2 will get anywhere from 17-18 city and 20-24 highway. The 6.5 turbo should be able to do about the same, once again, depending on the rear end. Now my 1 ton 6.5 truck will only get about 12 no matter what its doing, but it has 4.10 gears in it.

[MBZ] 30 MM gpy. Biodiesel Plant planned for Wyoming
Firm plans biodiesel plant By DUSTIN BLEIZEFFER Star-Tribune energy reporter Thursday, December 01, 2005 http://adsys.townnews.com/33707300763902/creative/casperstartribune.net/news+rtcontophorsize.1/20657.gif?r=http://www.casperforsale.com http://adsys.townnews.com/913800392/creative/casperstartribune.net/news+rtcontophorsize.1/21839.gif?r=http://www.casperstartribune.net/cstadv/jobquest/WWWarehs.Splash.gif GILLETTE -- A Wyoming-based start-up company plans to build a 30 million-gallons-per-year biodiesel plant in Campbell County. It would be the first-ever biodiesel plant in the state and among the largest in the nation. It would also create a new opportunity for Wyoming farmers to grow camelina, canola, brown mustard and other oil seed crops. Wyoming Biodiesel Co., a subsidiary of Sheridan-based Energy Fuel Dynamics LLC, says it is working with a strategic partner to power the facility using waste steam. Construction could begin next spring, said business development manager Jim Kintz. Estimated cost to build the plant is from $35 million to $40 million. Once the plant was announced, people wanted to buy all of our production, Kintz said. Biodiesel is produced through a chemical process separating glycerin from fat or vegetable oil. The biodegradable, nontoxic fuel can be blended with petroleum-based diesel and used in almost any diesel engine with little or no modification, according to the National Biodiesel Board, a national trade association representing the industry. The biodiesel production process also generates a high-protein cattle feed by-product. Our goal is to maximize the use of Wyoming resources for feedstock, building state-of-the-art production refinement facilities, expanding employment opportunities statewide and consumption of the produced bio-fuels, Kintz said.

[MBZ] W123 rear spring/trailing arm removal
I need to replace a rear trailing arm on my '82 300D. I've got a new one from OkiePartz ready to go in, but I'm curious about the removal of the old one. The manual tells me I need to pull the entire rear axle assembly, but my own inspection says this is unnecessary, correct? The other point that really has me wondering is rear spring removal. I'm told that a spring compressor is not required for this. Can I safely remove the spring after loosening the bolts at the pivot points on the trailing arm and slowly lowering the arm under a floor jack? Again, it looks like it, but given the amount of energy stored in these things, I think I'm better off not finding out the hard way. For those wondering why I would want to do such a thing, I had a rather nasty surprise on the way home from work the other day: http://thomas.savage.org/notgood.jpg Thanks, Tom

Casey, The interior was upgraded, and that included the new-style seats which IMO, are infinitely many times better than the old type, pleated leather door panels instead of the flat perforated leather, and a wooden roll-top center console box. To compensate for lack of a glovebox, the passenger's side underdash panel was sculpted to allow for small storage space for sunglasses, etc. Other minor interior changes included a better stereo with speakers in the front doors, an illuminated sunroof switch, and a leather wrapped steering wheel + shift knob. -Aaron 1987 300D 1987 300TD
Re: [MBZ] 30 MM gpy. Biodiesel Plant planned for Wyoming
I heard on the radio yesterday that a new bd plant is going to built near Corpus Christi, did not say what feedstocks it would use. It sounded like it would be rather large too. I guess those high petro prices are starting to make this stuff economical -- are there tax breaks involved too? I know back in the Jimmuh Cahtah cold dark days there were all kinds of tax breaks for alternative energy things, lot of work on coal, etc. during MEOW (the Moral Equivalent of War), but I think they only lasted for 3-5 yr.

I have a 98 Ford F150 and I like the look of it well enough. I can't say that I like the 04-05 as well. They do look too big and too slab sided to me. However, check the crash statistics. The 04 and up performs much better than the earlier versions and much better than Dodge or Chevy. Sometimes you give up something for something else.

Re: [MBZ] Rhythmic noise coming from shift console, 93 300D
Gary, Noise is prevalent only on light acceleration. I don't know whether turning has any effect. I can also minimize the noise by moving the shift lever a bit. I'm thinking transmission mounts. We just did the engine mounts and I'll bet that the combination of new engine mounts and tired transmission mounts are causing something to be out of position, as you describe. Otherwise the transmission operates normally...a bit of flaring when its cold, but that's it. Oh, and by the way, I *just* did a transmission fluid and filter replacement.

Re: [MBZ] OT another VW diesel possibility for me
BEFORE you spend a nickel anywhere else, try running it with an auxiliary electric fuel pump, OR if stationary, hold a can of fuel up above the engine and run a hose to the fuel filter in line. Is the problem starting, or running? My Quantum would crank forever before starting. The tank is below the engine/pump. There is NO transfer pump on the VW, at least in the 80s. I stuck the electric fuel pump on, and it was immediately cured. Yes, I did replace lines and look for leaks. Probably was a rust dot on the steel line under a body clamp. If it gets foamy fuel while running, I don't know, but the electric pump may help. The previous post say it will help for a while.

Re: [MBZ] OT another VW diesel possibility for me
I also have the dial indicator setup, but have set the timing on many of these by just using the timing marks on the cam, injection pump and crank pulley. The last time I changed the timing belt on our former '96 Passat tdi, I used this method. Those particular pumps can't accept the dial indicator I have, and I don't have the VAG-COM software. I brought it into a local VW shop afterward for a software confirmation of my timing, and it was absolutely spot-on.
