[MBZ] Weekend Report (long)
All in all a very productive weekend with the S500. Saturday started with the construction of a set of ramps. I couldn't bear to part with $40 or $50 for the metal Harbor Freight models, so I went to Lowe's and bought a couple of 2x10x12s and made my own by cutting progressively longer pieces that I stacked on top of each other to form a ramp. A pass on the end of each board with a 45 degree angle, plenty of glue and deck screws between each layer and a pair of very functional ramps were now ready for my car. Next I took on my Craftsman floor jack that has been acting up for some time. The speed lift function hasn't been working, and it has been lifting less and less as time goes on. I had done some research as far as adjustments and repairs, but these yielded no results. I suspect I might have been low on fluid, but for the life of me I couldn't find a place to fill it. Finally, after a very thorough inspection, I found a plastic plug in the side of the hydraulic cylinder. I pried the plug out and realized that this was the fill port. After I put almost 6 ounces of hydraulic fluid in it, it was once again lifting as it had in the past. I still don't have the speed lift function, but I'll compromise in order to have full lifting capabilities again. And now to the car Previous inspection had shown that the front flex disc had some hairline cracks in it, but the rear was starting to fail with tears and cracks readily apparent. Not having done a flex disc since a W126 I was in for a surprise. The W140 has 8 bolts rather than 6, and the flex disc in front is a lot more difficult to access than ones in earlier models. Thank goodness for pry bars and magnetic pickups. The rear flex disc was far more accessible, especially after the guard or strap was removed. It appears that on this chassis there is a metal strap that wraps around the drive shaft to prevent it from lashing around should it break loose. While you can work around this, it's fairly easy to unbolt one end and bend it out of the way to better access the bolts on the rear flex disc. Again, lots of brute force and use of a pry bar to get everything apart. It goes without saying that I have not been on a creeper for such a long time in a great while. When I woke up Sunday morning I was hurting in places I didn't even know I had. Fortunately, I had saved the simpler tasks for Sunday. First order of business was the fuel filter. Since I had removed the cover that protects the fuel pump and filter to access the nut that holds the strap around the driveshaft yesterday, access was a simple matter. With the judicious use of rubber plugs and caps I was able to swap the fuel filter with a minimum of fuel loss. A pretty simple operation. With cover back in place I was ready to move on... Next was a flush and fill of the SLS system. I had noted that the fluid was very dark and there was some sort of black crud in the screen, but I hadn't looked much beyond that. I put some clear tubing on the return line and ran it into a clear bottle. I removed the cap and screen and proceeded to run the engine to pump the reservoir down to the bottom. I found a bit of black crud in the bottom and sides of the reservoir, which I was able to clean out using a dust-free cloth wrapped around the end of a piece of coat hanger. I would have liked to remove the reservoir and cleaned it more thoroughly, but my Mercedes Martha Stewart-ness was on the ebb by this time. After a liter or so of fresh fluid I was getting clear fluid out of the system. I shut it off and topped up the reservoir. Now to the filter/screen. There was a large slug of the black crud in the bottom of the filter screen. When I separated the screen from the cap, imagine my surprise when I saw what appeared to be the remains of a large rubber O-ring in the bottom of the screen! This was the source of the black crud in the system - the O-ring was apparently not something that should have been in contact with hydraulic fluid, as it was breaking down and was soft and falling apart. I had mistakenly ordered a replacement screen/filter, thinking that this system was like earlier SLS systems that had the small pleated paper filter elements in them, but in this case my lack of attention worked in my favor. The SLS system in the W140 has a fine mesh screen that filters the hydraulic fluid, and it's not a consumable item like the older pleated paper filters are. I could have cleaned the old screen and it would have been perfectly passable, but since it was covered with the remains of the broken down rubber part that was lodged in the base of it, I elected to put the new screen on and leave the old one to the rubbish. Reassembled the screen and cap, put it back on the reservoir, attached the return line and checked the level. All is well. Lastly, I wanted to clean the connections on the instrument cluster, as the coolant temperature gauge was flakey.

Saturday started with the construction of a set of ramps. I couldn't bear to part with $40 or $50 for the metal Harbor Freight models, so I went to Lowe's and bought a couple of 2x10x12s and made my own by cutting progressively longer pieces that I stacked on top of each other to form a ramp. A pass on the end of each board with a 45 degree angle, plenty of glue and deck screws between each layer and a pair of very functional ramps were now ready for my car. Next I took on my Craftsman floor jack that has been acting up for some time. The speed lift function hasn't been working, and it has been lifting less and less as time goes on. I had done some research as far as adjustments and repairs, but these yielded no results. I suspect I might have been low on fluid, but for the life of me I couldn't find a place to fill it. Finally, after a very thorough inspection, I found a plastic plug in the side of the hydraulic cylinder. I pried the plug out and realized that this was the fill port. After I put almost 6 ounces of hydraulic fluid in it, it was once again lifting as it had in the past. I still don't have the speed lift function, but I'll compromise in order to have full lifting capabilities again. And now to the car Previous inspection had shown that the front flex disc had some hairline cracks in it, but the rear was starting to fail with tears and cracks readily apparent. Not having done a flex disc since a W126 I was in for a surprise. The W140 has 8 bolts rather than 6, and the flex disc in front is a lot more difficult to access than ones in earlier models. Thank goodness for pry bars and magnetic pickups. The rear flex disc was far more accessible, especially after the guard or strap was removed. It appears that on this chassis there is a metal strap that wraps around the drive shaft to prevent it from lashing around should it break loose. While you can work around this, it's fairly easy to unbolt one end and bend it out of the way to better access the bolts on the rear flex disc. Again, lots of brute force and use of a pry bar to get everything apart. It goes without saying that I have not been on a creeper for such a long time in a great while. When I woke up Sunday morning I was hurting in places I didn't even know I had. Fortunately, I had saved the simpler tasks for Sunday. First order of business was the fuel filter. Since I had removed the cover that protects the fuel pump and filter to access the nut that holds the strap around the driveshaft yesterday, access was a simple matter. With the judicious use of rubber plugs and caps I was able to swap the fuel filter with a minimum of fuel loss. A pretty simple operation. With cover back in place I was ready to move on... Next was a flush and fill of the SLS system. I had noted that the fluid was very dark and there was some sort of black crud in the screen, but I hadn't looked much beyond that. I put some clear tubing on the return line and ran it into a clear bottle. I removed the cap and screen and proceeded to run the engine to pump the reservoir down to the bottom. I found a bit of black crud in the bottom and sides of the reservoir, which I was able to clean out using a dust-free cloth wrapped around the end of a piece of coat hanger. I would have liked to remove the reservoir and cleaned it more thoroughly, but my Mercedes Martha Stewart-ness was on the ebb by this time. After a liter or so of fresh fluid I was getting clear fluid out of the system. I shut it off and topped up the reservoir. Now to the filter/screen. There was a large slug of the black crud in the bottom of the filter screen. When I separated the screen from the cap, imagine my surprise when I saw what appeared to be the remains of a large rubber O-ring in the bottom of the screen! This was the source of the black crud in the system - the O-ring was apparently not something that should have been in contact with hydraulic fluid, as it was breaking down and was soft and falling apart. I had mistakenly ordered a replacement screen/filter, thinking that this system was like earlier SLS systems that had the small pleated paper filter elements in them, but in this case my lack of attention worked in my favor. The SLS system in the W140 has a fine mesh screen that filters the hydraulic fluid, and it's not a consumable item like the older pleated paper filters are. I could have cleaned the old screen and it would have been perfectly passable, but since it was covered with the remains of the broken down rubber part that was lodged

Re: [MBZ] OT - Greenland berries
Sounds similar to my experiences attempting to grow cherries. I have hopes for this year as our oldest tree is now 5 full years old. BTW the state with the largest export of low bush wild blueberries is Maine. I grew up never having seen a big blueberry. When I did experience one I thought that it was a flavorless freak. Guess I still think that pretty much. There are both high and low bush varieties of the small blueberries. One lake we go paddling on has Blueberry Island which is covered with tall blueberry bushes. In mid summer they'll be just covered with berries. The blueberry farms in Maine look much like Wilton described, a rocky field covered with scrub which again in midsummer are just loaded. You pick 'em with a blueberry rake which is a kind of short handled shovel with fingers. You slide it through the bushes and it strips the berries off the plants, ideally without also getting a lot of twigs and leaves. An experienced picker has a wide legged stance and scoops about 270 degrees around them, takes 2 steps forward and repeat.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Greenland berries
We had a German Shepard who picked grapes. Dad built a grape arbor in our back yard that in a few years was covered with grapes. Strangely enough, we noticed that when the grapes ripened the ones within about 2-3 feet of the ground would go missing. When I would come home from school in the afternoon, I would let Gretel, our German Shepard, out of her kennel to let her run in the back yard. One day after letting her out and going into the house to get a cold beverage, I came back out and she was nowhere to be seen. I called her and she suddenly appeared from behind the grape arbor. Her muzzle was a dark blue, obviously the color of the grapes. Hmm. I let her go back out, at which time she returned to the arbor. I watched her closely and saw that she had discovered that if she clamped her mouth around a bunch of grapes and backed up with her mouth partially open, she could strip the contents of the bunch off and into her mouth. She did this for several minutes, pausing to chew up and swallow the grapes she had removed. Mystery solved.

Randy You did not deposit the appropriate number of ¥ in the appropriate place. (¥=yen) ___ Maybe. Just about drove my mother nuts though. The car was new in 08 and since she only drives it a bit in the summer, had very low mileage when the check engine light came on in the spring of 2010. She took it to the dealer who looked it over and charged her a couple of hundred bucks and told her the gas was stale since it sat all winter and she should run premium through it for a few tanks so it would clear out. She did that for a month or more with not improvement. The light stayed on and it did not run well. Kept stalling which made her a bit nervous about pulling into traffic etc. Took it back to the dealer who finally determined a sensor had gone bad and fixed it under warranty. Never refunded the money she paid for the first visit when they told her it was her fault for letting it sit idle all winter. We do not seem to have the same issues with fuel that you folks down south have. I don't know if that means the fuel is different or if it just means it does not deteriorate so quick in really cold weather. Her car sits in the garage out at the lake from mid October to mid May without moving. Same sort of thing with things like lawn mowers and boat engines etc. They do not get used all winter but generally fire up and run fine in the spring.

Re: [MBZ] The Dangers of Replacing Coil Springs on Your Vehicle - Full Clip
Agreed. Reminds me of when I worked in the auto shop at Sears many moons ago. Customer brought in an AWD Subaru complaining of a squealing noise in the front end after a brake job was done at another Sears store. The alignment tech said he would check it out. He put it up on the alignment rack, slid the lifting part of the rack under the front of the car and raised it. Then he proceeded to get in the car. I said aren't you going to raise the rear wheels as well?. He said WTF do you know tireboy? and started the car. I shut my mouth, stepped away and watched him drive right off the front of the rack and land the front bumper on top of the brand new Hunter alignment machine. He was glad to ask the lowly tireboy how he thought was a good idea to get the car down to cover his ass. Luckily for his career I assisted him in building a makeshift bridge so we could back the car back onto the rack.

At the risk of getting off-topic (!), my father-in-law runs a screenprinting business that uses only North Carolina (local but I know he's gone into western NC for the fabric) products. There is a clear difference between how his extras hold up versus the shirts my kids get at Target. In fact, I don't think any of his have gotten torn up or faded significantly; mostly they wind up at the thrift store still looking decent. The purchased ones have mostly worn off the print, gotten off-color and stretched out, then torn up completely. Interestingly I tend to put the kids in his t-shirts when they have to do something messy or that is otherwise likely to tear their clothes up, but I really can't think of one that has ended up scrap for non-paint reasons. I know his shirts are a lot more expensive, and I don't really wear t-shirts myself, but I was surprised at how much better they are even if they cost, say, 50% more per shirt.

In fact, I don't think any of his have gotten torn up or faded significantly; mostly they wind up at the thrift store still looking decent. The purchased ones have mostly worn off the print, gotten off-color and stretched out, then torn up completely. Interestingly I tend to put the kids in his t-shirts when they have to do something messy or that is otherwise likely to tear their clothes up, but I really can't think of one that has ended up scrap for non-paint reasons. I know his shirts are a lot more expensive, and I don't really wear t-shirts myself, but I was surprised at how much better they are even if they cost, say, 50% more per shirt. That said, I am not likely to buy a $30 hat I can't even wear inside! :) Best, Tim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Saturday started with the construction of a set of ramps. I couldn't bear to part with $40 or $50 for the metal Harbor Freight models, so I went to Lowe's and bought a couple of 2x10x12s and made my own by cutting progressively longer pieces that I stacked on top of each other to form a ramp. A pass on the end of each board with a 45 degree angle, plenty of glue and deck screws between each layer and a pair of very functional ramps were now ready for my car. Next I took on my Craftsman floor jack that has been acting up for some time. The speed lift function hasn't been working, and it has been lifting less and less as time goes on. I had done some research as far as adjustments and repairs, but these yielded no results. I suspect I might have been low on fluid, but for the life of me I couldn't find a place to fill it. Finally, after a very thorough inspection, I found a plastic plug in the side of the hydraulic cylinder. I pried the plug out and realized that this was the fill port. After I put almost 6 ounces of hydraulic fluid in it, it was once again lifting as it had in the past. I still don't have the speed lift function, but I'll compromise in order to have full lifting capabilities again. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] Weekend Report (long now short)
I have some very good cast iron jackstands which I use regularly. I do not care to be a greasy spot under my car. They are used when I need to remove a wheel. Just used a couple of pairs the other day win I was putting new pads and rotors on the wife's 2005 Mazda 6. Nothing dodgy about these ramps - they are solid wood and could easily support far more weight than this car. I built them because I had a pair of the stamped steel ramps a while back, and I had two major issues with them: 1.) They wouldn't stay put so you could drive up on them. That is, when the tire came up against the ramp the ramp just skidded forward. The manufacturer's suggestion: Put them on a soft surface, or place a piece of rubber sheet under them so they wouldn't slide on the floor. 2.) One of them started to bend or distort and dropped in height by about an inch. It was not overloaded according to the ratings and the car I had on it at the time (a 1970 250C) was well below the maximum load. That's when I got rid of them. The jack has a very slight leak that's been present for some years. The lack of hydraulic fluid was a cumulative thing that I had just never addressed. I haven't seen any leakage since I refilled it, so I'll continue to use it with diligence. That means inspecting it before each use. Again, I am very careful when working under a car and usually have multiple means of supporting it in place. I have no intention of being squished under my car.

I have my doubts about the toxicity of grapes. Maybe they're toxic to dogs but I suspect it takes quite a few of them for a large dog or more likely they're worried about dogs choking on them.

Aw, that's just nitpicking, Curt. Down here in Heaven-on-earth Florida you can go in nearly any restaurant barefoot and with nothing on but your swimming trunks and a bikini for your girlfriend. We do have a few Yankee restaurants open up from time to time but they don't seem to stay in business very long. Gerrylaid back in Florida (and just kidding!) ... I want to start a restaurant called Take off your dammed hat where failure to remove your hat results in public ridicule. It'll have an ice-cream stand called Pull up your dammed pants. When did it become okay for people to wear ball caps inside? -Curt Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:22:29 -0500 From: WILTON wilt...@nc.rr.com To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] A bunch of us need this Message-ID: 9DD0C10BD19C4F1EB134C7482A770D59@wiltonPC Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset=iso-8859-1; reply-type=original ATTABOY!

Re: [MBZ] Mystery headlight
Never! I am unhappy with the manner in which that pack of monkeys does business. I have a few microserf neighbors. The most worthless bunch of slime sucking on the available oxygen in a room. The initial workers were slightly innovative. This generation is nothing more than an employment opportunity for the middle functioning autistics. Nothing against autistics, but Microslime give them a bad name clay On Feb 25, 2013, at 8:10 PM, Gerry Archer wrote: Do you work for Microsoft by any chance?

Re: [MBZ] Mystery headlight
As for the wiring, it is going to get another working over. I bypassed the work I had done when I was most recently testing the headlight. I jumped from the bulb to the bare wire in the harness, which led me to think there is an issue closer to the fuse box and not in the headlight itself. I have not messed with the original wiring in the harness. Given the age, I am going to reflow the solder on the harness side. clay On Feb 23, 2013, at 7:20 AM, Curt Raymond wrote: So your wiring is screwed up, go back and do it again...
