Some dogs, especially smaller breeds, should not wear normal collars - their larynx is close to the surface and is easily damaged. Ours wear halters which spread the load around the shoulders.

[MBZ] SDL oil pan removal
I finally got a chance to get under the car today. The oil pan comes out with the engine in the car - but lifted as high as it goes. Everything went per the manual (engine 01-310.pdf) except that the manual doesn't mention the bottom two tranny to engine bolts that actually thread into the oil pan. It won't come out until you remove them! The manual also says that you have to remove the tranny oil cooler lines from the radiator. I didn't and there was room to spare - no reason to do it that I can see. Now I have to find someone to weld up the damage. -- OK Don, KD5NRO Norman, OK Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

Re: [MBZ] Will a new fender fix this?
Having suffered thru a much worse crunching of a 124 front fender last year I feel at least marginally qualified to hazard a guess. It just might require a little massage of the underpinnings in the area of the headlight support but given that neither the headlight or turn signal look to have shattered there's a fair chance that a new fender will bolt right up and present no problems so far as headlight and turn signal attachment are concerned. I expect the bumper will come easily back into alignment once the new fender is fitted as well. The suggestion to check the margin between the back of the fender and front door is particularly to the point; If that looks good and the front door operates without a hitch you've got another good indication the damage is about as minor as could be. If the hood opens normally you should also be able to visually inspect for underlying damage. -joe
Re: [MBZ] Becker Gran Prix
Sounds like the reverse function is deciding to engage, maybe the tape is getting hung up and it thinks it has reached the end, reverses, rewinds a bit then reverses again? If it has that feature of course. My first cassette deck did not have that -- you had to flip the tape as it only ran one way. Then I got another one that had auto reverse, and when the tape got munched it would occasionally act like that.

finding a 190D with manual tranny. *It is the 2.2 engine that gets the better mileage, is that right?* Our 2.5 manny (frankenbenz) has turned in 37-42 so far. I don't think the gearing is right, I didn't swap rear ends and I think maybe I might need to, eventually. Still got the 2.5 auto's rear end instead of the 2.2 donor's. I need to get its bad oil leak fixed, I think it's the big O-ring seal on the front of the IP. It was sudden, right at the end of its driving season last fall. I want to get my wife into it since she racks up the miles, but right now she's still in the Chicken Wagon. -- Jim

Another thought on the audio books on tape -- if your machine is acting funky it might be time to think about a tech upgrade to an MP3 player of some sort.

Re: [MBZ] M-1 oil question....AGAIN
Hi Walt, The official list of approved oils has these 2 Mobil 1 oils: Mobil 1 SuperSyn European Car Formula 0W40 and Mobil 1 ESP Formula M 5W40. The MB info says to use these 2 oils, but if this info is not available, the custmer should use oil marked CF-4 or CG-4 if the oils above are not available. Having said all that (from the official MB list of recommended Fluids) I started using the M1 Diesel Truck oil in 5W40 you;re asking about in my 91 300D based on the very high recommendatons of Werner Fehlauer (who may be in lurk mode)- I have had othing but good stuff from it - but it's only been 1500 miles.

Old tractors are just as much fun as old Mercedes! I've got a '52 Farmall Super M. The 9n is a handy machine and I think the first of the n family. SO IIRC yours would have been made from '39ish to '42ish when it was replaced by the 2n. The 2n was made until '48ish when it was replaced by the 8n although I might have the 8n and 9n backwards.

Re: [MBZ] Seeking 190D 5spd
So is yours a 2.2? I'm learning that the 2.5 is a 5 cylinder? Forgive my lack of knowlege. I'm taking it your mileage is coming from a four cyl. Yes, I am expecting high prices, and am finding that they are hard to find cars. But you know, we were just looking at $18k Golfs, and test drove a $25k Jetta. And we want this to be our nice car, so we are open to paying even up to half of the $10k we get from our CRV sale - only for a really nice one that needs no repairs. (Incidently, this will make our 240D more mine - there's been some jealousy over it - my wife feels I consider it mine, and I admit I do. I have to bite toungue when she does stuff to it that I think is hard on it). Anyway, we are adamant that we want a manny, and we want the 2.2 because it gets the maximum mileage - even the elusive 40 mpg a times ?? And it seems that MB tex is almost always found - we don't want cloth. So anybody who's willing to part with theirs chime in - we'll pay what it's worth. Also chime in with more tips on the pitfalls and virtues to these models (like, is running green antifreeze going to lead to a head gasket failure?

We have been thinking for some time about finding a 190D with manual tranny. *It is the 2.2 engine that gets the better mileage, is that right?* After finding one and talking with the owner on the phone, we are not very comfortable. How many of you can relate to trying to communicate with a seller who, when you say you're calling about the car for sale, they say yeah?, or ok?. Then you have to proceed to pry any information from them and they speak only when prodded to, and then only in one sentence or shorter answers, and almost in English (oh, and when asked twice what his name was, he chose Mike). This guy claims the car was given to him by a friend. He's had it about a year. He was apparently unaware of the body damage clearly visible in the photos he posted. He claims to have records, but when asked, said they consist of oil change. I could go on. BUT, I am now turning, to you in search of intelligent honesty.

Hi Gang, Yesterday with the vent or A/C button pressed (Position #2 #3) and temp wheel turned all the way down, air does blow out the center vents. Now I know from the ETM, it can either be the ACC unit or this other unit (for lack of a better name) that controls the vacuum to open/close the vents. One questionon a W126 WHERE is this unit located, and what's the best way to access it for troubleshooting? Also, any any advice on troubleshooting/repair of this problem would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Angelo Giaimo 1990 350 SDL 265K Miles Still Kickin...

Green antifreeze won't eat the headgasket immediately anyway although its not good for it. Mine is going in at the end of the month to be switched over. I HATE replacing coolant myself. Mine is a 2.2l, I think the 2.5 manual will be even harder to find, IIRC 84-85 = 2.2l, '86 2.5, '87 2.5t? Something like that anyway. All of the 190Ds I've ever driven (3) were 2.2l 5spd. -Curt Date: Mon, 7 May 2007 11:28:18 -0500 From: Zoltan Finks [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] Seeking 190D 5spd To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed So is yours a 2.2? I'm learning that the 2.5 is a 5 cylinder? Forgive my lack of knowlege. I'm taking it your mileage is coming from a four cyl. Yes, I am expecting high prices, and am finding that they are hard to find cars. But you know, we were just looking at $18k Golfs, and test drove a $25k Jetta. And we want this to be our nice car, so we are open to paying even up to half of the $10k we get from our CRV sale - only for a really nice one that needs no repairs. (Incidently, this will make our 240D more mine - there's been some jealousy over it - my wife feels I consider it mine, and I admit I do. I have to bite toungue when she does stuff to it that I think is hard on it). Anyway, we are adamant that we want a manny, and we want the 2.2 because it gets the maximum mileage - even the elusive 40 mpg a times ?? And it seems that MB tex is almost always found - we don't want cloth. So anybody who's willing to part with theirs chime in - we'll pay what it's worth.

Re: [MBZ] Why were none of you there ....How much can 2
Yes, they live in the house. In fact I have had one while living in an apartment. It is just important to give them exercise daily - the more exercise the better-behaved the dog. And this is a breed that will not be ignored. They demand personal attention - not just the occasional pat on the head. Letting them live in the yard full-time is not recommended. They shed a normal amount, but their hair is, of course, short, and it's hard and heavy, so it lays still while you sweep it up.

You should be able to find parts for a 5sp conversion for $500 to $1000 if you find a good deal on a 190D automatic.

I don't think there is much difference in MPG between the 2.2 4 cylinder and the 2.5 5 cylinder, probably because the 2.5 is geared a little taller. There's probably more difference in mpg between a 2.0 euro and a 2.2 USA than there is between a 2.2 and a 2.5.

Re: [MBZ] Seeking 190D 5spd
Huh. Interesting - maybe a couple miles per gallon difference or so betwix the 2.2 and the 2.5? I know I asked this several days ago, but is there any California Emissions on cars in CA? I know of one 190D in CA, but the seller is, well, wierd. He does say, though, that he will drive the car to a mechanic of my choice if I pay the mechanic.

While we are on the demons and the holy water in the clove box [I can do exorcisms already - no big deal there] the main response I have gotten showing the pictures to family and friends [in addition to how nice the car looks] is people pointing out the headlight wiper that is a bit off kilter.

Re: [MBZ] 1986 Mercedes 190 Diesel 5 speed - $999 (saugus)
There is no E in Saugus, but there is a great place on Rt 1 that makes their own amazingly tasty sausages. And of course the world renowned Hilltop Steak House. Some of the local Irish and Italian gangstas have also made sausages of some of their goodfellas up there too, or at least aerated them pretty well before stuffing them in car trunks. --R andrew strasfogel wrote: Saugus, a Boston suburb, is also an anagram for sausage On 5/7/07, Zoltan Finks [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just received this post, but no picture.
