Wow! Ain't THAT the truth! A good friend bought a black Chevy and had to
wash it every day to keep it looking nice - especially this time of year
when pollen is falling. I tried to talk my daughter out of choosing black
when she bought her 1st car -- and she learned I wasn't so dumb after all
pretty quickly. She decided washing a car all the time wasn;t much fun.
Now, when my wife or I are looking for a car, we always look for silver or
white - or some similar color. Not only are any body dings less noticable
but they stay looking clean even when they're filthy.
But to some people, black is an elegant color worth the extra effort. To

A friend has decided to purchase his first Mercedes and asked for my
advice. He's 47, works hard and deserves to drive something nice than the
'91 Ford he currently owns. He has a budget between $12 - $18K, and his
choices boil down to a '92 400E at around $12K, a '99 green/parchment 60K
E320 for $15,900, a 2000 E320 with 74K miles for the same price ($15,900),
and a 54K immaculately maintained black/black '99 E320 from the local dealer
for $18K. Any thoughts/suggestions? All gave clean Car fax reports and are
clean, with service records and no obvious current problems. The '99 is a
real beauty but is too old for a Star Mark warranty. The 2000 is not being
sold by a dealer so no Star Mark either... Any fatal flaws in either of
these models for any particular model years he should know about? What
about repair costs? Any reason to own a 2000 with 20K more miles than a '99
model E320
First of all, forget the 400E. It's too old and the potential for future
catastrophic repairs is just too high. It also probably uses R-12 in it's AC
system which raises maintenance costs. I don't know if any of them still
have AC
compressor clutches but they were eliminated some years back, maybe not in
these
cars. We all know about the W210's rust problems in certain parts of the
country and so any of these E320s that are this model need to be closely
inspected. The V-6 powered candidates are a better choice because that
engine is
superior to the inline sixes in the following ways: They don't have the
built in oil
leaks. Their ignition systems require less attention since the later ones
are
using platinum 100K mile plugs. The V-6 is ALMOST as smooth as the inline
six
due to it's balance shaft which it needs due to the 90 deg bank angle.
I would also forget the black car because of the time and effort required to
keep it looking good and I say that because the Ford owner is most likely
not
a car hobbyist who is willing to do this. I speak from experience, having
been
slaving over a metallic black car which had it's fifth birthday last week.

Re: [MBZ] Are these cars worth all the effort
AMEN, Dr. Booth. Fortunately most of have not had to go through such a
terrible experience, and then do the research.
My mother suggested I look at the 62 190Dc that was my first Mercedes. The
old Tex smelled funny, and I liked it. the Speedo was funky, and I liked
it. I didn't like the battleship grey, after driving a flashy turquoise 67
chevelle SS396, but I have never missed the chevelle! I grew to like the
battleship grey too! And the big RED bench seat! and the 4 speed on the
column! In her way, i think my mother was guiding me to something she saw
as safer. Dad liked the chevelle, because he never liked my 56 Karmann
Ghia I was nearly killed in the Ghia, and after the fact, when I was able
to see how it fared, I thought it did pretty well under the
conditions. That and my BMW R50/2 had pretty well sold me on German stuff.

Johnny B., I bought my first Mercedes after my wife and son were killed
in an auto accident in 1963. Following a lot of research I found
Mercedes to be the safest car made (with Saab and Volvo close). Pound
for pound it still is, although a few models of other cars have achieved
similar safety standards.

you love is worth?

Re: [MBZ] Idiot Needle
I put oil temp and oil pressure gauges on my 200D because i wanted to find out what is really going on. With a factory short block, the 200D will generate over 100 PSI cold. I have never tried to see how high it will go. I drive it in a manner so as to not go over 100PSI. After it warms up it runs at 86 PSI. So you can see, that a warm engine running at less that 3 bar (~45 PSI) is a very tired, worn engine. With the combination temp and pressure, I could tell when the car was a quart low on oil, and that is pretty much time to change the oil anyway. The pressure would drop about 1 lb and the temp goes up a bit. In combination, they are as telling as an exhaust gas pyrometer. Under extreme load, the temp and pressure change too. I just never put in an EGT pyrometer to find the correlation. Yes, Brian, it is an idiot needle, but it works and prevents a lot of crap from uninformed MB owners at the stealerships. After you understand it, it will tell you a lot about the condition of the bearings. My 200D will never come off the peg, even hot and idling. But it was a very tight engine out of the factory. Loren Loren At 12:09 AM 4/23/2006, you wrote: I've wondered for some time now, and it came up again tonight as I told the wife what to look for when she drives the 240D: Why does the oil pressure gauge simply peg at 3 almost all the time? In doing so, it is less a gauge, and more an idiot light. Why didn't Mercedes redesign the gauge so that it provided precise feedback as to the pressure? OR On the other hand, is it the case that the gauge does provide precise feed back, but that's just how the oil pressure acts in a diesel? It stays pegged except when the engine is completely warm, and it's hot outside, and I have come down to idle.

Re: [MBZ] What E320 to purchase '99 or '00? How about an older 400E?
Forget any W210 - too many kwality issues - unless it's got a healthy Starmark to back it up. If he really wants a 400E, I would stick with the 1994-95 E420 instead - bigger brakes (the '92 had small brakes) and the 94-95 will have the full body updates. Not a bad car, but... ...if he really wants the ultimate ride, might I suggest a 1992-93 500E, or 1994 E500? Partially hand-built by Porsche, rare, gorgeous, and stupid fast for a 12 year old sedan. Typical prices run from $10k-$25k depending on miles, condition, accessories, etc. Lots more info can be had at 500E.com, and I also have some assorted articles on my website at this link: http://www.w124performance.com/docs/mb/articles/ Now, assuming he wants a mid-size Mercedes, I would strongly recommend a W124 of some sort. Another option would be the 1993-95 cabriolet, and for fuel economy, any 1990-95 diesel. (But NOT an S-class diesel!) Yes, I'm biased, I own both a 124 diesel and an E500. I'd avoid any car with the M103 engine unless he doesn't mind being a little short on low-end torque. The M104, M119, and diesels are all generally ok in my book. ;-) -Dave M. -- Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2006 16:06:58 -0400 From: andrew strasfogel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [MBZ] What E320 to purchase '99 or '00?

swift sucks. Luther Gulseth wrote: there is a reason over-the-road trucks don't have automatics. I must beg to differ. Current technology has the situation in automatics much more lucrative than a manual trans. The OTR auto's are a hydraulic/brain control of the same manual gear box. The reasons for this being a better system are: less driver abuse, less driver turnover (none seem to want to drive a manual ever again...), better fuel economy, and longer clutch life.

Any reason to own a 2000 with 20K more miles than a '99 model E320 First of all, forget the 400E. It's too old and the potential for future catastrophic repairs is just too high. It also probably uses R-12 in it's AC system which raises maintenance costs. I don't know if any of them still have AC compressor clutches but they were eliminated some years back, maybe not in these cars. We all know about the W210's rust problems in certain parts of the country and so any of these E320s that are this model need to be closely inspected. The V-6 powered candidates are a better choice because that engine is superior to the inline sixes in the following ways: They don't have the built in oil leaks. Their ignition systems require less attention since the later ones are using platinum 100K mile plugs. The V-6 is ALMOST as smooth as the inline six due to it's balance shaft which it needs due to the 90 deg bank angle. I would also forget the black car because of the time and effort required to keep it looking good and I say that because the Ford owner is most likely not a car hobbyist who is willing to do this. I speak from experience, having been slaving over a metallic black car which had it's fifth birthday last week.

Current technology has the situation in automatics much more lucrative than a manual trans. The OTR auto's are a hydraulic/brain control of the same manual gear box. The reasons for this being a better system are: less driver abuse, less driver turnover (none seem to want to drive a manual ever again...), better fuel economy, and longer clutch life. All lead to less cost to the company. I believe at least 1 OTR company (Swift?) has a large % (maybe 80%?) of their fleet as automatics, our company has several also. It's the wave of the future!

Re: [MBZ] Idiot Needle
But is it a planetary gear tranny like a benz or a chevy, or an automatically shifted constant mesh tranny? There is a difference, and although I'm out of touch, I do know that for many years there were few if any automatics in big trucks because they didn't hold up. GM spent a fortune in the 70s attempting. I'm sure that has changed, but I can year them shift, so many are still manuals... I'm quite certain no one would willing wrestle with a 16 speed rather than an automatic! Peter
[MBZ] OT: 2 cyl 20 hp diesel
I am fed up with a recalcitrant 16 HP briggs engine. (Horiz. shaft, upright) Does anyone know of a cheap source of a cheap 2 cyl diesel of 15-20 hp that i could mount a hydraulic pump to? I am thinking that a Yanmar, Kubota or indian or chinese knock off would server better than the briggs. It has always been hard to start and keep running since it was new. An aircooled diesel would be an option too. that eliminates the need for a radiator and related maintenance. I am sure I can buy a new one from Northern tool , but I am looking for a wrecked lawnmower with a good engine CHEEP! CHEEP, like the little birdie said!

If you find a 99 E-class with ESP (Stability Control), the safety features (front, side, and head curtain airbags) might outweigh the rust issues.

Re: [MBZ] Colors
A few years ago at the factory, we saw an E wagon with a blue-green it was a nice color and very unusual. Almost all the cars on the assembly were silver, more like Astral and black. Yuk, black cars are high maintenance, and come with uppity, see me owners. Of course there were a few with the german taxi color too! I really like my smoke silver SDL though. That is my preference for a 126, although burgundy is nice. My favorite for 123 and 107 is Midnight blue, also with Burgundy for a second. For a few months I had matching burgundy 123 107 and 126. Now the 123 is gone. At 10:15 PM 4/24/2006, you wrote: Now, when my wife or I are looking for a car, we always look for silver or white -- or some similar color. Not only are any body dings less noticeable but they stay looking clean even when they're filthy. Every Honda and it's ilk are silver. I go to the MB dealer and the lot is full of silver, gray and the occasional black. Boooring!

Re: [MBZ] my 1981 300CD was type II or type III ACC system?
What you don't spend on a new servo you can apply towards new window seals! I'm already planning that since good used seals just aren't out there. It has the usual gaps between the front and rear sections, so I'll have to get that straightened out before the next rainy season. It does have a garage to live in, so it won't be as bad as the last one. BTW, the servo in the previous 1978 300CD went out totally after I sold it. I sure hope that I have better luck with this one! I tried starting it by dripping a little diesel into the intake, but it just coughed and sputtered, much better than the 220D. Is this what tight valves can cause? The PO had the car for over three years as a daily driver and never once took it in for valve adjustments. Tomorrow, I'm going to adjust them with my dad's help, his 1:1/16 socket, and my new wrenches. Wish me luck and pray that the thing starts with a huge cloud of cmoke and lots of klatta klatta!

Re: [MBZ] pushbutton ACC troubleshooting
commentary Form an engineering standpoint, there is no reason a 126 relay should outlive a 123 relay, unless internal components were all replaced with ones with a much higher MTBF. The 123 relays are known to fail. Any relay will cycle so many times, then fail. I will bet money (not much!) that most any such failure is not the moving parts, but rather a bad colder joint that has developed due to vibration or thermal cycling, or a dried-out electrolytic capacitor. Not related to the number of cycles at all. -- Jim

Re: [MBZ] pushbutton ACC troubleshooting
You have done a lot more autopsies of electrical components than I.I believe you would win the bet. Cycle related or age related, components fail, and from the experience of the group with cruise control, solder joints are always a prime suspect. Whatever the mode of failure, things fail. I tend to pitch electrical components and get another one. I don't own a range of soldering irons and equipment appropriate for electronics. I don't do Automatic trans either. Just choices I have made. At 11:27 PM 4/24/2006, you wrote: commentary Form an engineering standpoint, there is no reason a 126 relay should outlive a 123 relay, unless internal components were all replaced with ones with a much higher MTBF. The 123 relays are known to fail. Any relay will cycle so many times, then fail. I will bet money (not much!) that most any such failure is not the moving parts, but rather a bad colder joint that has developed due to vibration or thermal cycling, or a dried-out electrolytic capacitor. Not related to the number of cycles at all. -- Jim ___ http://www.striplin.net For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net

Wulf's (300SD) head is fine. Everything on Wulf is fine except the freaking
gunshot wound.
Kaleb asked about the 300TD which has a bad head gasket which I am
replacing. Kaleb is convinced the head is cracked. It may be, but I bet it is
not. I think he likes rubbing it in :-)

It's also available with the V8 4 litre CDI that puts out more torque that the top Ferrari. Three or four years ago there was a E220 CDI Wagon parked on the corner next to my place. It was right hand drive with UK plates. Jeff Zedic Toronto 87 300TD
Re: [MBZ] Idiot Needle
So, what is the best way to add a nice bright idiot light so that I will quickly see it if the oil pressure drops off while I am driving? On a Ford or Chevy, I would put a T fitting into the block and add a generic idiot light sender to trigger the bulb on the dash. There must be some more elaborate and fancy way to do this on an MB Diesel, right? Randy B -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Loren Faeth Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 6:17 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] Idiot Needle I put oil temp and oil pressure gauges on my 200D because i wanted to find out what is really going on. With a factory short block, the 200D will generate over 100 PSI cold. I have never tried to see how high it will go. I drive it in a manner so as to not go over 100PSI. After it warms up it runs at 86 PSI. So you can see, that a warm engine running at less that 3 bar (~45 PSI) is a very tired, worn engine. With the combination temp and pressure, I could tell when the car was a quart low on oil, and that is pretty much time to change the oil anyway. The pressure would drop about 1 lb and the temp goes up a bit. In combination, they are as telling as an exhaust gas pyrometer. Under extreme load, the temp and pressure change too. I just never put in an EGT pyrometer to find the correlation. Yes, Brian, it is an idiot needle, but it works and prevents a lot of crap from uninformed MB owners at the stealerships. After you understand it, it will tell you a lot about the condition of the bearings. My 200D will never come off the peg, even hot and idling. But it was a very tight engine out of the factory.

OR On the other hand, is it the case that the gauge does provide precise feed back, but that's just how the oil pressure acts in a diesel? It stays pegged except when the engine is completely warm, and it's hot outside, and I have come down to idle. Brian 83 240D ___
Re: [MBZ] Why no 320CDI choice for the new GL?
Pretty sure the article I just read on the new GL class (yeesh, like we really NEEDED yet another chassis class?) is that MB will be offering a CDI engine of some sort later this year or in 2007. I'm still waiting for the twin-turbo CDI V8 in a W211 to come stateside. :) -dm -- Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2006 08:53:12 -0400 (EDT) From: Kevin J.

Re: [MBZ] Hydrogen boost gimmicks?
How much water are you going to have to carry to get some boost from this? And doesn't hydrogen have an atomic number of 1? Doesn't sound like much energy is there... I've read that if an 18 wheeler was run on hydrogen that 4/5ths of the trailer would have to be the fuel tank to get comparable energy. Even after serious compression! Let him pay the $247 and we'll all learn from him. Also, the $1.99 website they have makes me suspicious, not to mention the $2 per metric tonne components pictured.

It's too cool and the recovery time is too long. Even when soldering sensitive parts, I prefer to use a hot iron so I can make the joint quickly before the component itself has time to heat up. My favorite all around iron died on me after 15 years, I have to get another one. It looks like a big fat orange pencil, runs on butane, and adjusts for 15-60W. Got it on sale at Radio Shack for $20 back in the 1980's. Mine says Archer on it, I think the real brand name is Portasol or Butasol, something like that. I just bought one of those! They're red now, you can still get them at Radio Shack, and they don't cost much more than they did in the 1980s. Try a stand-alone store -- the mall stores have only a third of the stock the stand-alone ones do. I wasn't expecting much, given the price, but it works great. It heats up fast and puts out lots of BTUs, just the trick for outdoor work where breezes tend to suck all the heat out of an electric iron. I used it recently to solder a PL259 connector, including the braid -- anyone who's tried this will tell you it demands a lot of heat capacity. My electric pencil iron could never cut it, but with this one it was a piece of cake. It does use butane at a prodigious rate, though, so for indoor work I still plug in the electric pencil iron. ;) David Brodbeck '83 300D Turbo

Doesn't sound like much energy is there... I've read that if an 18 wheeler was run on hydrogen that 4/5ths of the trailer would have to be the fuel tank to get comparable energy. Even after serious compression! If you are generating H2 O2 from electrolysis of water powered by an inefficient automotive alternator, the system is clearly going to take more HP out of the crankshaft than you can get from burning the H2. OTOH, if the H2 aided the combustion of the diesel fuel (like propane does) it might be a net benefit. I would think that adding $2/gallon propane to the air intake would be more cost effective, but water is easier to replenish and safer to carry in the car.
Re: [MBZ] Yep, the time has come.
For soy and peanut oils, I've seen weights per gallon listed between 7.5 and 7.7 pounds. That would make the number of gallons in 35 lbs somewhere between 4.54 and 4.64. According to http://www.ers.usda.gov/publications/ah697/ah697.pdf it is ~7.7 lbs/gal for both.

Re: [MBZ] ... Computer Question
Depending on the version of the operating systems, you may just be able to network the two computers and enable file sharing, allowing direct transfer. However, you must be sure that the PC programs involved can read the data -- it may be necessary to save the Mac data in PC format. Any removable media should be readable by both if you use the correct formats -- for instance, burn all CDs as ISO 9600 format (or the one with the funny name), as that is the standard for PCs. The Mac will read and write them all. Much easier if you were going the other way. You can get an external CD writer and use DragonBurn (or something similar) -- it runs under OS 9 as well as OS X, so unless you are dealing with a truely ancient machine, that should do it. Biggest problem may be software -- not all PC programs can see Mac data! Peter
