[MBZ] blinker relay

[clay via Mercedes]

The SDL is having issues with the both the wiper speed and blinker making.  I 
am now thinking that it is all wrapped up in the blinker relay.  I just am not 
sure where this thing lives.  Would it be the really big black relay living in 
the fuse box, or is it a smaller thing behind the cluster?

It is just basic rotella

Synth would have been gooder, but the car was not meant to travel well or far.

[MBZ] Snow follies

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

While Dan is working out his AC we're getting a little snow. Angie and I had 
gone to Keene for game night and on the way back it was pretty slippy. We'd 
gotten maybe 1/4" of snow but its cold, like 15F so the cars are crushing it 
into an ice layer. We were driving uphill into a left hand bend when all of a 
sudden a gen 4 ('99 to '04) Jetta crossed our path sliding sideways. Turns out 
she'd slowed to avoid and accident and got hit by the van behind her.
I grabbed the binders thinking "Yeah right, we're going to slide right into 
her" but to my surprise between the snow tires and the ABS our '05 Golf (also a 
gen4) didn't even waver and slowed down smartly. I navigated around the Jetta 
and accelerated just before our trailing vehicle would have hit us. We got 
pulled off to the side and stopped, I got out to go see if the other driver 
needed help and very nearly fell on my butt, it was that slippery.
She wasn't hurt but the trunk and bumper on her car were all stove in and she'd 
slid down the bank enough she'll need a tow. We waited with her until the 
police showed up, meanwhile a plow truck came by.
Didn't help though, trying to climb into Troy we got behind a Durango that was 
having a helluva time making the hill. Troy is tough, you climb a big hill, go 
back down and then climb again. I actually pulled off halfway up the hill, the 
vehicle behind us had no concept of safe following distance and I didn't fancy 
being a sandwich. I let them get well ahead before I tried again and about 3/4 
of the way up the hill even we were having a challenging time, I kept the Golf 
in 3rd at about 1600 rpm, enough power to move the car but not really any for 
spinning, I was keeping out of the turbo, trying to drive it like a 240D.
The south side of Troy we got into deeper snow, an inch or maybe two but it was 
really windy and the wind was making snow devils that made it hard to see. We 
forged on though and made it safely. The ride north took us 30mins, south was 
90. Angie knows its bad out when I drive with both hands...

Kaleb,
What are you doing with a cheap ($400) garbage disposal? Should be at

least twice that and probably a Bosch to match the DW. I don't know if I'm
just lucky or what but my disposal and DW are still going since 1999 when I
built my house. And the DW is a Maytag, but I don't remember the disposal,
GE maybe?

Now to the serious side, can't you just put in some drano or some sort,

after all, it cleans hair clogs in the other drain lines?

[MBZ] Snappy Rims

[clay via Mercedes]

I took the free SD out to get her new shoes.  Well, new to her, used tires.  
The PnP I prefer has a separate wheel shop that does a good business on 
installs.  I got a nice set of Yokohama for the Bundts.

There are a number of Benz that have passed through the yard, and I had a 
thought that upgrading to 15 or 16 inch might be nice.   I just could not find 
rims with the offset I think the SD would like.  What I did find was a really 
nice looking AMG staggered set selling for $200.  Those would be a great 
investment, but I am running out of space to keep things.

Re: [MBZ] 300SEL Fun - Today

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Almost forgot -

FCP Euro order came with engine and transmission mounts and an upper radiator 
hose, the one on the car is pretty hard.  I’ll probably leave those for later 
next week.

W126 19mm rear sway bars came today, too.  I’ll find time to slap one of these 
on the 350SDL, as I’m dying to see how much of a difference it makes.

Re: [MBZ] 300SEL Fun - Today

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Did some low impact stuff as I was busy with work and dealing with the AC…

Pulled the stereo (aftermarket Sony) and installed an auxiliary input cable for 
it.  Ran the cable through the glove compartment.

While I had the ash tray out I replaced the light bulb in the ash tray.

Wife picked up a pair of master keys at the dealer for me, so now I have three 
keys instead of one.

Noticed that I’m getting some drips of ATF under the front bumper on the left 
side.  Took a quick look and pretty well confirmed what I suspected earlier - 
the PS cooler isn’t leaking, it’s the connection where the lines are clamped to 
the ends of the cooler and they’re seeping fluid.  The fluid is running down 
the cooler lines to the lowest point, which is where they make a right turn 
towards the radiator.

Picked up a couple cans of brake cleaner in preparation for cleaning off the 
front timing cover for when I replace the seal tomorrow.  I’m going to do that, 
get the valve cover prepped and painted, and hopefully reseal the AC 
compressor.  Lofty goals but I’ve got the whole day and all my weekend 
obligations except cutting the grass are pretty much done.  That will leave 
Sunday for the front flex disc, a fairly easy job.

Re: [MBZ] Hallucination Express

I am not overly fond of marathon drives myself.  This just needed to get done, 
so I did.

I prefer not to fly due to the obliteration of civil rights.  Given the 
opportunity, I will drive.  Most of the short hops take about the same time to

So I found the hex tool and made wife reach in and see what comes out. A penny 
was in there, some legos. You can turn it back and forth with the tool till it 
reaches a certain point then just stops like it hits a wall. We don't see 
anything in the chamber. Only thing I can figure is something got past the

They will if the mint stops printing paper dollars.

Only if you get real apples and stomp them with your own real bare feet 
and ferment the juice in your own oak barrel, with air exposed, for a 
couple years.  Then you will have real vinegar.   The commercial stuff 
is watered down.


Your feet will turn brown for a few days.

Re: [MBZ] Poo. Time for New AC Compressor/Condenser

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I watched the tech test the system.  Contactor closes and compressor goes to 
locked rotor amps instantaneously. We even put my Fluke on it to confirm the 
values he was seeing.

It’s almost 20 years old.  I’m OK with replacing it.

That thing sat empty for damn near 6 months and was on the market for probably 
3-4 months for sale also and we had maybe 2 showings. Had spurts of renters 
call but end up being flakes. Finally got these people and they seem like they 
will be great. It sure put one hell of a big hole in my pocket book.

Are you sure the compressors bad? I have a 20 year old Trane that a dealer said 
was bad. Got another guy to check it and he said it was a (freon filter?). He 
found a replacement, brazed it in to the outside unit, and it's still running 
fine 2 years later. 
When we built the house, the A/C guy said Trane was the best bet because all of 
its parts were standard to most other makes and didn't have to be bought from 
the manufacturer. This experience sort of proved it.

Vinegar is probably too weak. You need a supply of citric acid on hand to
clean your MB engine cooling systems anyway, plus it works really well for
removing water stains, cleaning the dishwasher, etc. Buy 10 pounds and

Re: [MBZ] Poo. Time for New AC Compressor/Condenser

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I’ll share when I get quotes.

I have a good friend and former neighbor who is a commercial HVAC guy that I 
talked to this afternoon.  He told me that trying to keep the system R22 would 
be tough, as it’s near impossible to get anything built for R22 any more.  One 
way he said some manufacturers are getting around it is shipping the unit dry 
rather than precharged.

Both contractors I’ve spoken to today said they wouldn’t do it, as permits have 
to be pulled for replacement units and everything has to have an ACHI cert to 
go with it.  Due to the age of my air handler, both said they probably couldn’t 
get a cert for it.

If there’s a silver lining, it’s that I’ll get a more efficient system than I 
currently have, so that will help to save a few bucks, considering that AC is a 
major expense in this part of the world.

Well I would be interested in that cost as the Trane contractor r22 unit is

Whole outside unit.  Heck, it’s 20 years old.  Wouldn’t make sense to just 
replace the compressor, and things are a lot more efficient now anyway.

My air handler/evaporator is a Trane, so they’ll offer something that will be 
compatible with it as they’re a Trane dealer.

[MBZ] Poo. Time for New AC Compressor/Condenser

I guess I shouldn’t complain too much, as the contractor grade unit we had was 
the original and lasted nearly 20 years.

Compresor is locked up tight.  No fix for that.

So now I’m waiting on a call from the AC guys for a replacement.  Fortunately 
the PO replaced the air handler/evaporator right before we bought the house, so 
that won’t have to be swapped out.  That should save us some coin, thankfully.

Re: [MBZ] Powder Coating?

[Larry Turner via Mercedes]

~30 years doesn't sound too bad IMO.I did my 911 lug nuts and they 
came out cosmetically very nice - even using a home based system. They 
didn't hold up well to the pressure from lug wrenches though.  It 
started by breaking through the Coating at the pressure points but 
doesn't seem to have spread to other area.  IMO it is a very strong 
coating system and will last a long time when not exposed to high pressure.


As with any "painting" the surface prep is critical. All of the previous 
coating must be carefully removed for the powder coating to have a 
chance to last a long time.   I'd like to do some more coating but can 
never seem to find the time.

I decided some time ago that I am not doing things like that anymore. I 
don't like driving on the highway in the dark anymore and I don't like 
driving more than about 3 hours at a time. I think the longest trip I 
ever did in one day was about 900 miles and that was at least 35 years 
ago. If I need or want to go very far these days, I fly.


I would still like to do longer car trips but I want a leisurely drive

List may be aware that #1 boy screwed up his W140 and SWMBA conned him into 
getting a 06 jeep.  Kid drove over from ND to visit mid Feb and when he tried 
to go home, his cheep threw all manner of codes and CEL.

The only viable way to get him back to where he needed was to drive.  My w220 
is a turd and broken, so that was not an option.  Not going to be able to drive 
the R107, and the w126 SD was not registered or insured.  That left the SDL.  
Poiei was viewed by many here as a less than viable option to do a 1200 mile 
trip within 22 hours.  I thought she was the only option.

We had to get his guns and some stuff out of the cherokee and we took off.  I 
pulled the first shift.  We left 2/22 at 1800 hrs out of Seattle and hit 
Spokane for a fill up.  The Idaho passes were a bear, as was the first MT pass. 
 Snow and snot in the dark.   We did 12 hours of blasting along in the dark, 
and got to ND a bit past lunch.   I think we were doing at least 550 per tank.

I played visiting dad for less than 48 hours before taking the Amtrak back to 
SEA.  That was a disaster, as the train broke down in Spokane over night.  By 
the time I got back to SEA, I was hallucinating and it was 1700 Sunday.  Train 
left ND at 1050 Saturday.  The chickens were pissed at me for abandoning them 
for five days.

The Chrysler dealer fixed the jeep Saturday, and I really wanted to get it out 
of town and get a drivable car back home.  Plan was to leave SEA with it as 
early Monday as I could, but the surprise snow slowed me down.  I was able to 
register the ’82 SD, grab the cluster out of the s430 from my indy to send to 
Beckmann to rebuild, and pick up the jeep.  That would have been a noon 
departure, but a tanker rolled over on I-5 at I-90 and closed the region down 
for hours.  I was able to get back roads onto I-90 and picked up my older 
cousin as co-pilot just short of Spokane.

We drove through Hell through Idaho and almost to Butte.  Close to white out 
conditions and sloppy slush.  Once over the Continental Divide it got better.   
 WE pulled into Williston before 1100 local time,  On the drive out, my shoes 
went through an entropy zone and the soles dissolved.  It was like walking 
around with lace up flip flops or a duck stuck in the mud.   I scored some 
cheep chinee shoo and tossed our overnight bags from the jeep into Polei.  Time 
enough to piddle and we struck out on the freeway home.

Weather reports were calling for snow west of the Rockies.  Luck was with us 
and we had dry roads and sunshine.

On the trip out, the SDL had working blinkers, speedo, lights.  On the return 
trip, the speedo was working, but the blinkers were not, and the engine began 
eating oil.  I am  not sure how we made it out there with no oil loss, but I 
was adding quarts every few hundred miles.   Granted speeds were up in the 
80-90 mph range and going up hills and passes.   I figured it was the high 
speed and oil was not getting back to the pan.   A bunch more miles and I 
thought it might be the 730 cap I put on instead of the black plastic that 
creates a near vacuum seal.   It could be cooking out the top.  When I pulled 
in to fuel up, I noticed black oil drops.  That would mean the patch on the pan 
is failing.  I will need to remove the epoxy glop and put a better patch on.

The drivers were doing fine until we got to Butte.  No fuel, just piddle stop 
and driver swap.  Nobody had been getting decent naps either to ND or in the 
six hours out.  I was driving that stretch and 30 miles out of Missoula I was 
less than spectacular.  Cousin noticed and took over.  He got us to the fuel 
stop, got us giant coffee plasma to wake us up and I got us to Idaho.   Cousin 
did the rest of the drive and got us to his place at 0200 Wednesday. The last 
hour was more hallucinations.  Old guys should not drive extended periods with 
no rest.

I put a few hours asleep and got up at 0930 for some breakfast and catching up 
with family.  I got back on the road by 1100 and back to SEA by 1520.  I got 
the chickens fed and watered, crawled into bed and woke up 3/2 at 1500.

[MBZ] 300SEL Fun - Yesterday

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Yesterday was kind of a PITA in general.  You know, one of those days where 
everything seems to go wrong to the point where you’re afraid to touch anything?

So I got the SKF bearing kit and got started on replacing the right front wheel 
bearings.  Yup, the outer bearing was definitely bad.  It had a bad roller on 
it that I could both feel and see.

New bearing races went into the freezer upon arrival from work.  Got everything 
torn apart, the old races knocked out and the inside of the hub cleaned out.  I 
didn’t bother taking the brake disc off, but did make note that new discs and 
brake pads are probably 5k miles away or so.  Caliper and hose looked good.

Drove the new races in, being extra careful to orient them properly. Packed the 
bearings by hand with the requisite green MB grease,  I have considered getting 
one of those little hand bearing packers, but I don’t think I would use one 
enough to justify the expense.  Installed the inner bearing and then drove in 
the seal.  Flipped the hub over, but some grease it the hub then hung it on the 
spindle.  Installed the outer bearing and nut.

Got the magnetic base and dial indicator, tools I hadn’t used in easily 10 
years.  Both HF purchases from many moons ago.

Both literally fell apart in my hands.  Grrr.

The faceplate on the magnet base just shattered, but it still worked.  The dial 
indicator bezel crumbled in my hands.  This allowed the face/scale to just flop 
around.  OK, I’m thinking, I can still make this work…

And I did.  It wasn’t pretty, but I was able to get everything set up and with 
the dial indicator laying horizontal, the face could just lay on top and it 
would register against the scale.

Sigh.

So I got the runout adjusted on the bearings and then tossed the dial 
indicator.  The magnetic base is still serviceable, so I kept it.  Guess I’ll 
have to buy another before my next W123/W126 front brake job.

Put the radio suppression spring in place, then fought the dust cap for a good 
3-4 minutes before getting it driven on.  It’s going to be a real pain to 
remove, I suspect.

Took it for a test drive and not a wisp of noise.  So much for the “tire with 
the bad belt”.

So for the most part car stuff went OK.  It was when the wife came home and 
started grousing about the AC setback occurring too late and the house being 
hot.  I took a look as I knew it was running.  78F inside. Ouch!  Warm air out 
of vents.  Hmm.  Grab lines at condensor.  Both are the same - pretty much 
ambient.  Darn it.

AC guy should be here shortly.  I’m hoping for a bad compressor contactor.

Today will be little clean up stuff on the car.  Tomorrow I think I’m going to 
do the front timing cover seal and clean up/strip/repaint the valve cover.  
Sunday I’ll do the front flex disc.

Re: [MBZ] so much for rock auto

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Even at -13F if the fuel is any kind of quality it shouldn't gel. I never use 
any additives unless I'm having troubles.
I *think* one of the big problems with cold starts is people forget the rules, 
glow a couple times, foot to the floor, crank until it starts or the battery 
dies. If you stop cranking you lose all the ground you made (ie the cylinders 
rapidly cool) and the next attempt is harder because the battery is tired.
Is the SDL a 617? -13F with no assist is pretty good for a 61x. I never found 
out how cold it would have to been for a good 601 to start, I started them at 
-15F with no real issues. Angie's Golf has a crappy glow plug design and 
doesn't like sub zero temps. It'll start but you really need to work the glow 
plugs.

I left the SDL with #1 boy so he could get to work while I drove his jeep back. 
 ND mornings are dang cold.  He said it was not happy, but did light off at 
-13f after four glows.  Might have been winter diesel, but the oil was standard 
15-50, and no additives to the tank to compensate for gelling.

We compost most of our food waste but the garbage disposal is sure handy for 
"stuff" that falls off plates and out of pans and whatnot. It just means we

Insinkerator uses a neat system where the blades are fixed and the "stuff" gets

Re: [MBZ] Raspberry Pi Bluetooth + WIfI

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

I noticed the Amazon outage, apparently many of the websites I look at are 
Amazon hosted.
It *shouldn't* affect a raspberry pi in your car since you wouldn't be likely 
streaming stuff from the cloud to do it.
We have an idea at work that people will pay us to host their media "in the 
cloud" so they don't have to own any storage on-site. I expect the actual way 
we'll do it is to rent cloud space from Amazon. I can't imagine being one of 
our customers in this kind of condition "Oh yeah, Amazon is down so you can't 
work..."

That led to

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/03/01/aws_s3_outage/

which said, among other things,

    Tuesday's Amazon Web Services mega-outage knocked offline not only
    websites big and small, by yanking away their backend storage,
    but also knackered apps and Internet of Things gadgets relying on
    the technology.

    In fact, the five-hour breakdown was so bad, Amazon couldn't even
    update its own AWS status dashboard: its red warning icons were
    stranded, hosted on the broken-down side of the cloud.

        ...

    Other IoT devices were also impacted and caused some rather
    surreal scenarios for their owners. We're told that
    cloud-connected lightbulbs, thermostats, and similar gear,
    stopped working properly as their backends fell over.
