I'm gussing that since their email address is out on car-part.com and other sites, 90% of their email is spam. What isn't spam is from people who want to play a 20 questions game.

Re: [MBZ] 1995-2000 500SL
Oh yeah! There are two troublesome systems in the R129's. The SRS system is prone to failure and the ECU can cost 1500.00 plus labor. Can't operate the car if a failure occurs due to the seatbelts tightening up and air bags, roll bar, etc will be non functioning. Early on sophisticated electronics that were not ready for prime time. Labor is extensive as the seats have to be taken apart to get to the seatbelts, etc Hydraulics for the tops include 11 rams which can run 5,000.00 if they need to be replaced. Non use is one big cause of failure and the other is leaking rams. I was looking at a 1997 SL320 and during the test drive, the salesman in the passenger seat had oil dripping down from the front pillar onto his fancy suit pants! I passed on this one as the SRS light came on as we drove and the seatbelts tightened up which was mighty uncomfortable!

I have a number of old cans of engine additives that I may never use. Does anybody know what is in these cans? They do not list ingredients, except to say petroleum distillates. If you swallow it, call a doctor, and do not induce vomiting. This one is called Therm-o-Lube ring and valve free conditioner for top engine performance. Not sure if the top refers to the part of the engine, or to the performance. The manufacturer is 1963 Thermolube, Inc. It could be from that year. It promises, among other things, the following: - reduces friction to a minimum - removes carbon and sludge - more mileage - frees hydraulic lifters and piston rings Curiously, it does not say it is flammable. Might this just be a detergent? Would it be useful in an older engine? Might it have any other uses today (killing weeds, wood preserver, termite preventer, etc.)?

[MBZ] BuckyBalls in your oil
Listers: I have been doing some reading lately about nanotechnology, and have come across some seemingly reliable comments about lubricants consisting of a lightweight synthetic carrier and fullerenes (C60 specifically) that apparently work very well as a clock and watch lubricant. Some of the favorable reviews come from established members of horology forums (fora?). I also see that some companies are selling kits intended for use in automotive and other engines. Some of the automotive additives seem to rely on nano particles other than fullerenes. I have ordered a minuscule amount of the C60 based oil to try out on guns, an old clock, small motor bearings and bushings and such. I am not likely to dump any of this stuff into my crankcase until I am convinced that it will do only good and certainly no harm! I am curious to hear if any of you out there have any knowledge or experience with these lubricants or other products using fullerene or quasicrystal technologies. For those who aren't familiar with fullerenes or C60: C60 is one of the many allotropes of carbon, such as graphite and diamond. C60 is a soccer-ball shaped molecule consisting (duh!) of 60 carbon atoms forming 20 hexagonal and 12 pentagonal facets. Each carbon atom has 4 covalent bonds. Some of the bonds are double bonds between two carbon atoms, some are single bonds. It is a very stable molecule once formed, and has electrical properties which enable it to bond to metal surfaces.

Shipping was fair and it was done in 10 minutes. When I've tried to order parts for Mercedes I usually end up with we don't carry parts that old, I don't care what the inventory says or answers to questions that are completely incorrect, if the part is what they claim. (I have been told there are not supposed to be electrical contacts on a Mercedes alternator, for example.) I have also shown up at a yard and had them break a part trying to get it off, received obviously broken parts, and so on. I get that Mercedes are relatively rare vehicles so I don't expect random junk yards to know them like Kaleb, but it does seem like there is a clear difference shopping for parts for a 77 300D versus a 72 F100, and I don't really understand why. I don't think they are trying to scam me but they seem less likely to go out of their way to do any actual work for me.

Re: [MBZ] BuckyBalls in your oil
It's not going to hurt anything, they are very tiny spherical molecules with a metal atom in them. Sometimes called nano-diamond, which implies that they are abrasive when they are not. They coat metal parts, sort of filling in the voids in the surface texture with VERY slippery molecules. The only drawback is that they wont' necessarily stay put, so it's just like the teflon additives in the late 70's. Worked great while they were in there, but they left with the oil when you changed it, and the added cost (a couple bucks a quart in the 80's) wasn't worth the small gain in performance and wear resistance. I've heard good things about nano-diamond lubricants for watches, but have not yet tried any, as my current skills at watchmaking are minimal enough it would be VERY hard to tell if the oil made any difference. In the case of watches and similar equipment, the problem with loss with oil change is much less, as if they do their job and stay put, the oil can evaporate and the parts will be well lubricated by the Buckyballs alone, so it won't be necessary to service the watch.

[MBZ] 1985 300CD Klima relay - where is it?

Re: [MBZ] 1985 300CD Klima relay - where is it?
Two things to check. First is that there is suction past the interior temp sensor (in the dash, I think). If not, the foam hose under the dash between the plastic pipe and the fan box has fallen apart and you are getting zero air movement past the sensor from the fan, resulting wide variations in temp control as random air movement changes the temp. The second thing that does this is a broken wire or a defective temp sensor. They are thermistors, so open or shorted is a problem, otherwise they should read some resistance at room temp and change with heat or cold. Typically on a W123 the foam hose has fallen apart. Replace it with some heater hose.

Re: [MBZ] 1985 300CD Klima relay - where is it?
Yup. If the foam bypass tube has deteriorated (broken down to dust and now missing) between the air box and the thermistor in the dash, a piece of 1/2 black foam pipe insulation will replace it perfectly and you'll even have enough left over to use in another 20 years. The easiest way to see is by taking out the glove box and looking up at the bottom of the dash pad. You can also use the tissue test, which entails the use of a small square of tissue that you place over the grille that covers the thermistor in the dash while the system is running. There should be a very tiny bit of resistance when you remove the tissue caused by the air being drawn in through the grille. This works especially well in 124 chassis cars that have the little helper blower at the base of the passenger side A pillar. The 124 grille is on the ceiling in the cluster of stuff containing the map lights and sunroof switches. Dan On Aug 11, 2012, at 9:58 PM, WILTON wrote: A $2 repair?
