Re: [MBZ] W123 AC - Part 3 Begins
Where can you find a filter? I was going to put them in both cars but couldn't find a source on first attempt and then forgot about it since the job needed to be finished. Gerry From: Peter Frederick psf...@earthlink.net Install a filter in the suction line (which your mechanic should have done initially). Any time a compressor fails, there will be shrapnel all through the system, and it cannot be flushed out. Clutch failure shouldn't do this, but then a clutch is an easy replacement, I'd not have changed the compressor. At any rate, until you get a filter in the suction line and blow out whatever crud you can, you will chew up a new compressor in short order.

Re: [MBZ] Alternator question '83 300D
Thanks to Rick, Richard, and Loren for your advice; and to Fred for the connector which arrived in good order. Going to wire it up and try it again. If the connector wasn't the problem, will put a good regulator in and try it. If that doesn't work, will chuck the 3 used alternators in the drill press one at a time and try the half dozen regulators (hooked to the 12 volt shop battery) until I find a good combination. If that doesn't work, I'll assume that the battery, (which had boiled out most of its water in one cell), is at fault and get FLAPS to put in a new battery which they agree to do at my option. Gerrymostly talking to myself From: Gerry Archer arche...@embarqmail.com Sorry to interrupt this ongoing discussion about Rusty and Trent and Gary, but I have a question about the alternator on my '83 300D. There are three wires coming out of the alternator. Service Manual SM-1243 shows that the two heavy wires, same color, are common inside the alternator. It also shows that these two wires terminate at a buss bar on the right rear inside front fender. This seems unusual having two common wires originating and terminating between the alternator and buss. The only explanation I can think of is that MB is dividing up the 60 amp load between two wires instead of having one larger wire. The manual also shows the battery connected to this buss but doesn't show where. Can someone tell me where the wire from the buss to the battery connects to the positive battery cable so I can check it's continuity and clean the connection? With the key on run there is 12v on all three wires to the alternator. With the key off, there is no voltage on the small green wire and still 12v to the other two heavy wires. It is a new alternator, but it still doesn't show 13.7v when engine is running 600 to 1200 rpm. Also, where is the ground strap from the frame to the engine/transmission?

Re: [MBZ] W123 AC - Part 3 Begins
he worked for bimby while working on cars at his home evenings and weekends (he's one of those 80 hour a week worker guys). then he left bimby and started working with/for jimmy the greek. then he left the greek for a similar arrangement with cama. the building the greek was/is in is owned by jeb from thailand, another guy who works on cars 20 hours a day. (as an aside, jeb is quite good, conscientious and cheap. if things get bogged down with jono for agne, he can use jeb, probably for a lot less money) when i space opened in jeb's building , jono rented that . he usually works with his dad and one or two hired assistants there. the place is a real rat infested shithole in some super dismal industrial park but he still has far more business than he can handle. he bought a super lovely building to set up his shop in, but he discovered that he can make a lot of money renting it instead as places are super cheap to buy but rents are still the same as they were when the places being rented cost 2 to 3 times as much On Mon, Sep 2, 2013 at 10:58 PM, Kaleb C.

It ran perfect for three weeks, at which point the compressor imploded...literally. It had oil leaking out of it from three different places. I got a replacement Behr ( and they sent a drier as well), took it to my normal mech (top-notch, and totally trustworty) with the same instructions: FLUSH, FLUSH and FLUSH. It worked perfectly until that afternoon.approximately 8 weeks. I heard the belts start to squeal, and immediately turned off the AC. Got to a stopping point, popped the hood, and everything looked OK. Tried to engage the AC while idling and it stopped the engine cold. My daughter was with me so all of the words I wanted to say became, Well, this is not good. Sorry Garythis was before you were back on the list, and the original purchase was during the Rusty/Trent changeover. So a couple of questions: 1.

Re: [MBZ] Alternator question '83 300D
What kind of claim is this??? Jumper cables are like welding cable. At least good ones are. The two batteries are running 12 volts float. There is little likelihood of anything other than minor charging going on between the two batteries, since he said he's disconnecting the 'good' vehicles cabling. This is nothing more than jump starting the car as far as the cables are concerned. Nothing is going to burn up here. In fact, what will probably happen is the alternator will begin charging the newly introduced battery since the questionable one was run dry, thus has a high resistance cell eliminating the ability for the battery to be charged by the alternator. He's looking for 13.7 out of the alternator which is correct, and should be achieved if A) the alternator is capable of charging, and B) the battery is able to be charged. It's a simple test, takes seconds, and is accurate. It can be done in business clothes. It eliminates or proves half of the A) and B) above. There is no chance of meltdown or fire any more than there is during any jump start situation. Please be accurate and thoughtful with your posts before making some wild comment about burning up cables, etc. Someone here might think you know what you're talking about.

Gerrymostly talking to myself From: Gerry Archer arche...@embarqmail.com Sorry to interrupt this ongoing discussion about Rusty and Trent and Gary, but I have a question about the alternator on my '83 300D. There are three wires coming out of the alternator. Service Manual SM-1243 shows that the two heavy wires, same color, are common inside the alternator. It also shows that these two wires terminate at a buss bar on the right rear inside front fender. This seems unusual having two common wires originating and terminating between the alternator and buss. The only explanation I can think of is that MB is dividing up the 60 amp load between two wires instead of having one larger wire. The manual also shows the battery connected to this buss but doesn't show where. Can someone tell me where the wire from the buss to the battery connects to the positive battery cable so I can check it's continuity and clean the connection? With the key on run there is 12v on all three wires to the alternator. With the key off, there is no voltage on the small green wire and still 12v to the other two heavy wires. It is a new alternator, but it still doesn't show 13.7v when engine is running 600 to 1200 rpm. Also, where is the ground strap from the frame to the engine/transmission?

Re: [MBZ] Alternator question '83 300D
Ever try to start a car where the battery in the car is dead? It takes a helluva lot of current to get a car started. Normal battery cables are so short they don't have to be all that thick. Now you want to run from one car to another your cables have to be thick to make up for the distance. I'm sure theres a rule that explains how thick for the distance. Mercedes diesels in particular take a ton of power to get started, theres a reason the battery is a grp 49. Most jumper cables are garbage, like 4ga. I've got a set of good ones that are 0ga that were like $90 and are heavy. People joke when they see them but they'll haul a lot of power. One time jumping a co-worker's car I didn't have my cables so we put my 240D with some wimpy cables somebody had and nothing happened. We waited and waited and got nowhere other than the cables got warm. Got another set of wimpy cables from somebody else and waited around when the second set was warm too the car started... -Curt Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2013 14:04:41 -0700 (PDT) From: Richard Hattaway rhatta...@rocketmail.com To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] Alternator question '83 300D Message-ID: 1378242281.77663.yahoomail...@web161003.mail.bf1.yahoo.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 What kind of claim is this???

Re: [MBZ] Alternator question '83 300D
That's a good idea, Richard. I'll put the 240D and the 300D side by side and jumper with all the cables off. I know the 240D battery is good. Batteries are both group 49. Thanks, Gerry From: Richard Hattaway rhatta...@rocketmail.com Like everybody else has said, please change the battery before you go to all that trouble. You could even just use some jumper cables and clamp another one in parallel to the toasted one to prove your point. Much easier than messing with regulators and drill presses (c: Thanks to Rick, Richard, and Loren for your advice; and to Fred for the connector which arrived in good order. Going to wire it up and try it again. If the connector wasn't the problem, will put a good regulator in and try it. If that doesn't work, will chuck the 3 used alternators in the drill press one at a time and try the half dozen regulators (hooked to the 12 volt shop battery) until I find a good combination. If that doesn't work, I'll assume that the battery, (which had boiled out most of its water in one cell), is at fault and get FLAPS to put in a new battery which they agree to do at my option.

Thats probably the best plan, otherwise I'll probably replace the one oring and then find that there are other parts leaking that I don't know about. Biggest problem with this jack and sourcing parts is that there are NO labels on it at all. Neighbor gave it to me after it sat under his deck for a couple years. All the paper labels and stickers have worn off. He gave me a 12 ton bottle jack that I managed to resurrect with new oil and a little shoe goo to put the plug back together. Funny somebody mentioned oil that smelled like vomit the other day, thats exactly what I thought as I drained the oil from that jack... -Curt Date: Tue, 03 Sep 2013 11:16:20 -0400 From: MG trainpain2...@aol.com To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] W123 AC - Part 3 Begins Message-ID: 5225fd44.8010...@aol.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Curt, Look in the yellow pages for someplace that repairs garage lifts and jacks. That is where I found all the parts I needed to repair my 25 or 30 year old Sears floor jack. I had to take all the parts and go up to Jacksonville for it but still better then buying a new jack. They even had this big plastic or rubber thing that was in there. Cheap too only $12 or so as if I recall. Probably still have to buy a new jack since this one is getting heavier all the time.

Re: [MBZ] Alternator question '83 300D
If you are saying you are going to use your jumper cables in between the 240 battery and the 300 cables and starter yhen you better have a big set of cables. Like welding cable. Otherwise you will burn them up and not answer your question. Better to just swap out the batteries and see if the issue follows the battery from the 300.

Thanks, Gerry From: Richard Hattaway rhatta...@rocketmail.com Like everybody else has said, please change the battery before you go to all that trouble. You could even just use some jumper cables and clamp another one in parallel to the toasted one to prove your point.

Going to wire it up and try it again. If the connector wasn't the problem, will put a good regulator in and try it.

If that doesn't work, I'll assume that the battery, (which had boiled out most of its water in one cell), is at fault and get FLAPS to put in a new battery which they agree to do at my option.

We are going to be there Tgiving if it is still around at that point. I can come pick and help you do whatever, will have tools and would love to get away and do something useful. You should wait until about then anyway as it is too hot to work on stuff outside anyway. I might be up there to bring the other SD to the girl and retrieve Mama's, as soon as I do a few things to it, and the swapper is the car I need some bits for. We could have a parts swap party, I'll bring some brews. I need a LF marker light and an aux fan bracket mount at least, and maybe some other stuff too once I get to thinking about it. Oh and a LF window motor/reg as your teeth might not match mine. That stuff I could use fairly quickly. I was going to go to the knackers but they think their junk is gold and with all the rain there are probably rattlers and copperheads as big as me out there in the swamp where they keep the Benzes.

Re: [MBZ] Alternator question '83 300D
He never said his car wouldn't start. He said the alternator won't charge. And there is an opinion that the battery is the culprit. If the car is hard starting too, then he has to use real jumper cables. Nothing else changes. Geeze, you guys are a bunch of alarmists. Well, one or two of you anyway... Sure, he can swap the batteries if he wants to. Fine. My point is that it's an easy check to see if the battery is the issue, and to not wait until after he's tried three regulators and set up an alternator test bench with a drill press to sort out the culprit. And if he does it as I described, he'll already have it done while you guys are all standing around kibitzing about how it wont work for this or that reason.

It takes a helluva lot of current to get a car started. Normal battery cables are so short they don't have to be all that thick. Now you want to run from one car to another your cables have to be thick to make up for the distance. I'm sure theres a rule that explains how thick for the distance. Mercedes diesels in particular take a ton of power to get started, theres a reason the battery is a grp 49. Most jumper cables are garbage, like 4ga. I've got a set of good ones that are 0ga that were like $90 and are heavy. People joke when they see them but they'll haul a lot of power. One time jumping a co-worker's car I didn't have my cables so we put my 240D with some wimpy cables somebody had and nothing happened.

Jumper cables are like welding cable.? At least good ones are.? The two batteries are running 12 volts float.? There is little likelihood of anything other than minor charging going on between the two batteries, since he said he's disconnecting the 'good' vehicles cabling. This is nothing more than jump starting the car as far as the cables are concerned.? Nothing is going to burn up here. In fact, what will probably happen is the alternator will begin charging the newly introduced battery since the questionable one was run dry, thus has a high resistance cell eliminating the ability for the battery to be charged by the alternator.? He's looking for 13.7 out of the alternator which is correct, and should be achieved if A) the alternator is capable of charging, and B) the battery is able to be charged.? It's a simple test, takes seconds, and is accurate.? It can be done in business clothes.? It eliminates or proves half of the A) and B) above.

Re: [MBZ] buymbparts is dead drunk at walmart
I've never understood relocating wildlife. What most people are doing is making their nuisance wildlife somebody else's problem. I've been having an amusing discussion on Facebook with a friend who keeps saying things like we moved our raccoon to the country to which I reply We made the raccoon somebody else's problem. I contend in those cases a pellet gun is the best answer. The raccoon quickly learns that turning over my garbage cans is a bad idea that makes his ass hurt and moves on to somebody else who gives him a free ride to somebody else's house. -Curt Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2013 17:11:32 -0700 From: G Mann g2ma...@gmail.com To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] buymbparts is dead drunk at walmart Message-ID: cantulyjt4h5r6egjsxkychxtjtznwhdwa6g5hzd1x4pbzkf...@mail.gmail.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Gawd.. what a visual...
