Re: [MBZ] OT: carfax request
Kaleb C. Striplin wrote: any difference? The biggest difference was that Carfax made no mention of this: 06/13/2003 SOUTHEASTERN REGION 11,388 Auto Auction REPORTED AT AUTO AUCTION On Carfax, it was titled to the rental or leasing company in Florida at 10 miles, then titled in Michigan at 13,876 miles with no indication of what happened in between, other than registrations and renewals while it was leased. On Carfax, they say that the car/deer crash was in Jackson county, and damage was minor. On Autocheck, they give a case number for the police report but don't say where. If you were to combine the info, you could probably go to the Jackson County Sheriff's department and ask for accident report #6151882, but if you only had Carfax, you wouldn't have the report number, and if you only had Autocheck, you wouldn't know where the crash took place. The final difference is that Carfax shows it as advertised for sale by a dealer in Charlotte Michigan as of 5/22/08, and Autocheck doesn't have this info.

[MBZ] Annoying Brake Squeal/Service Clowns
Took the E320 in for its service today. Mentioned the very annoying everyone-at-the-stoplight-turns-their-head-and-looks squeak the brakes are making to the service clown. He proceeded to give me a lecture on brake pads. Now normally when one of these putzes busts out the one of the lectures probably practiced for the unknowledgeable, big checkbooked driver, I'll usually politely stop them in their tracks (because I am somewhat knowledgeable and I have a wee checkbook), but for some reason I thought I'd listen. To make his long story short since the demise of asbestos pad all brakes have squeaked. 99 out of 100 MBs since about 1990 brakes squeak. Maybachs were driven off of the showroom floor with squeaky brakes. He said there was nothing they could do. I was amazed!!! So I told him that I would listen to the next ten cars that pulled into the service drive and I supposed nine of them would have fingernails-on-the-chalkboard brake squeals. He then started the Curly Shuffle. Twelve cars and no brake squeaks later I was talking with the service manager politely requesting I get my car back with no brake squeaks. I mentioned, in passing, his service boys story and told him that was a nice story but if they weren't interested in making my brakes not squeak there are three other dealerships and one MB approved indy I could go to. He apologized, tossed the key to a new, obscenely redC320 and I was on my way.

I suspect the dealers willingness to deal was based on it being a used vehicle. Still in December or January I'm going to buy a new pickup, my Dakota is beat. I've already informed the wife it may be a full size regular cab since it *seems* like the prices on those are quite flexable.

Dave, all I have is sympathy for you, but I am deleting this quickly just in case my '81, which seems to almost be as it should be, gets any more ideas.

Almost at home, this afternoon, after completing a 45 mile each way high way trip I heard a terrible noise. Sounded as though it was coming from behind the dash while in the vehicle and resmbled the sound of a broken water pressure line but more intense. However, with only a minimal loss of power, at first, the a return to normal power all gauges showed good. no change in water temp., oil prressure cruise or climate control activity. Pulling in my dirveway, maybe 1 or 1 and 1/2 miles since the onset, I immediately shu the vehicle down. The engine stopped but the noise did not! Upon leaving the vehicle I could really hear the noise and it was extermely LOUD. I opened the hood and decided the noise was comig from the area of the air filter/turbo area. Both were shaking and I could feel a slight vibration. Occassionally a whif of smoke would come from the area near the transmission dip stick and I would see aspark from the area where the transmission and the engine unite. I panicked and began pulling any relay and fuse I could lay my hands on, in the area near the brake reservoir. Still the noise, shaking and smoke continued. Finally on the passenger side/front of the engine compartment - mounted on the wheel well - I pulled a small four connector relay apart form the wiring and the noise, vibration, smoking and sparking stopped. When the relay was re-connected none of the symptoms were again seen. When trying to start the vehicle in any gear except park or neutral no atempt to start the egine is witnessed, just as it should be. However, when in either park or neutral I hear the familiar tonation of a burned out starter turning while no attempt to star the engine is found. Other than a dead battery, after sitting for several months, about two months ago this vehcile has never given me any challenges starting/shutting down. Any clues folks and how could I test to see if any or your theories are correct?

Re: [MBZ] 1980 300 diesel wagon
If its a turbo or not has nothing to do with it being a 300TD, all wagons are TD's. And yes, a 80 is NA Donald Snook wrote: I found an ad for a 1980 123 wagon. The seller listed it as a 300TD. But, does a 1980 wagon have a turbo? I thought the early ones were NA. Whether it is NA or turbo, what sort of mileage with these get? The price seems too low, so it might be a turd.

Well I got the E320 back and the brakes still squeal.

Re: [MBZ] 30 MPG? I already get it
Hehe, I just got 34.1 on the last tank (Shell, with a good tire instead of a half flat one). I think the Sumitomo tires at 45 psi help quite a bit, the old on only got 32 or so. I do drive carefully, especially after getting hit. My brother's SDL gets 29 or so on the highway. Nice to make our annual trip up to the Brickyard on about half a tank of fuel.

Re: [MBZ] Annoying Brake Squeal/Service Clowns
There are problems with the brakes on the W210, it's very hard to keep them from squealing for some reason. Ditto for the Volvo 740 -- I have one that sometimes screams, and an aquaintance of mine worked for Nato in the 90's -- the border guards stuck their fingers in their ears every time they drove up, never did find pads that didn't howl. I'll ask my friend Hans, but I remember him saying he'd had a couple that he couldn't quiet down.

Re: [MBZ] 30 MPG? I already get it
No, contact patch is pretty much normal as far as I can tell -- no abnormal wear in 1 miles, good traction, etc. Max inflation pressure is 51 psi. My brother though the tires on his car were low -- but they were 32 psi, just like the label says. However, they are 46 psi max inflation tires, and were running on the sidewalls until he raised the pressure to 40 psi. I think the sidewalls on the high pressure tires are softer. You get lowered rolling resistance and a little bit harder ride, no other differences. The Sumitomo tires aren't great on ice (a real problem with a diesel) and one was falling apart (bad puncture repair), but otherwise they are fine.

If it's any comfort at all: I paid CDN $1.52 a liter for diesel last week. That is about $6.90/gallon (imperial) or about $5.75 a US gallon. Highest in my area for gasoline is about $5.15/US gal, most closer to $5.

Re: [MBZ] 30 MPG? I already get it
I could get 30-32 MPG with my 1962 190Dc Got 42-45 with my 82 Quantum, 5 speed, got 50 MPG with my 1984 Escort Diesel 5 speed Still get 32-34 with my 87 300D.

Heck My 1992 W-140 S350/300SD has been giving me 30 MPG since I bought it years ago. What I would like to see is a Diesel-Electric S Class (or any other class for that matter).

Re: [MBZ] Annoying Brake Squeal/Service Clowns
So not only do the brakes still squeal I looked at the detail job they did for me and all over the right front fender there is over spray from what ever product they used on the tires. And the carpets were still damp from shampooing and of course I wasn't thinking so by the time we got home my and my daughters shoes were completely clean on the bottom with the damp carpets acting as the cleaning agent. Now they are ten time more dirty than when I too it in. I am tight.
