[MBZ] Bad contact

[Craig via Mercedes]

I pulled the dark headlight from our '90 300D/2.5 Turbo and took it into
O'Reillys in Edgewood. I found it was a 9004. In looking at the filaments
in the store's lights, I did not see anything which looked like a break,
so I walked out of the store, put the bulb on the center console, and
drove home.

The next day I checked it with an ohmmeter: continuity between all pins.
I then painted the contacts with DeoxIT and tried it in the car. Sure
enough, it had been making bad contact. The contact, even after moving
the socket around and inserting and removing it several times, isn't that
great -- there are positions to which I can move the socket and the bulb
goes out -- but I left it in a position where the bulb lights and it has
worked at night since.

On another note, a couple of days the fan for the AC suddenly quit. After
I visited Shirley in the hospital, I started the car and the fan worked.
It has been been intermittent. It didn't work at all today.

I presume it's the push button assembly, which needs to have its solder
reflowed. How do I get it out?

Re: [MBZ] It goes PFFfffffffftttt

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

Canned 'air' is now R134a, is it not?  (Used to be R12 Freon, of course.)

If so, it won't transport mineral oil.  Unlike the test refrigerant I use.

[MBZ] It goes PFFfffffffftttt

[clay via Mercedes]

I decided to dig just a bit further down into why I was not getting nice cold 
air from Polei (sdl)

I had primed the systems with some mineral oil and a can of air duster a week 
or so back.  That stuff had worked for Allen, but the compressor would not kick 
in.  There was equal pressure on the high and low sides of 70 psi.


I checked the aux fan, and it would run with 12v.  That is good.  The Klima got 
pulled and I jumped pin 7 to 5 which kicked on the compressor clutch.  I 
figured that was a good time to hook up the manifold gauges and see if I could 
feed more canned air.  With the compressor going, I could feed another 32 oz. 
Then I got to seeing some little mist and hearing the rush of gasses.  Poop!  
That means I need to go looking for the UV lamp.. in broad daylight.

I quit charging and let it piss away.  With enough time, the dye began to show. 
 Seems there was a hole in the receiver/drier.  I am guessing I will need to 
flush the system bits that need it and replace the can.  Should I just as well 
replace the pressure switch and temp switch?

I have some AC Delco 525 mineral oil on order.  That should be a nice addition 
to the drier instead of the lame FLAPS oil.

Probably, but talk about error-prone!  One divot and now you
have a _real_ problem.  Or you could probably sandblast, or
wire brush...

The leads are tinned iron, so if you dig through the tin then you have
something that is difficult if not impossible to solder to.

Nobody does this, there's probably a reason.

This the Shirley Jones car that sold about a year ago.

It’s hit something in the right front - the bumper is displaced and the panel 
gap between the hood and right front fender is too wide.

I like the Peak AF jug in the engine compartment.

The rear is sitting too low.

Pictures are obviously not current.

Trunk lid looks like it was touched up or blended (poorly) in several places.

Interior is really dirty (Martha hint: look under the door armrest at the 
trailing edge of the door - this is where spillage accumulates and is rarely 
ever cleaned.)

Numerous license plates and badges suggest the pictures were taken at different 
times, some as long ago as four years.

What a mess.

Re: [MBZ] Rock Auto AC Compressors

The 4 seasons "kit" I see contains a 4 seasons compressor.  The real 
Denso compressor does not seem to come in one of their kits. For my car, 
the 4 seasons kit is $286.  If I buy the real deal Denso and 
receiver/expansion valve separate it prices out to $248.  Chances are I 
can save even more buy buying the other stuff from importec.

And covered with nasty varnish.  I have found the best way to get
it off is to scrape it off.  I started with my pocket knife, but
then reworked an old hacksaw blade so as not to be to abusive to
my knife.  After most of it was off, I used the belt and jitterbug
sander.  Once the varnish was off I was able to put linseed oil on
it.

Still it's annoying that I can't seem to find anyone who sells
bare wood handles.  I guess I should make some from the hickory,
osage orange, and locust that grow around here.

I don't think I've bought a handle in decades, used to be able to get good ones 
in the local hardware when axes never came from China. 

The brands I was unfamiliar with at Bailey's mostly said 'Made in USA', check 
the links I gave. 
The Wetterlings handles probably come from Sweden.

I suggest you look at your local ACE hardware store. I find a decent
selection there since ACE hardware stores are all "privately owned" unlike
the big box stores like Lowes and Home Depot.

Hickory is my wood of choice for off the shelf handles.. If I am making my
own from scratch, Osage Orange, but work it while it's green and soft [if
soft and Osage Orange can ever be used in the same sentence.]. I suggest a
good band saw with a fresh blade for the rough out shape, and a honed sharp
draw knife with a good pair of gloves and blister care, for final fitting..

Re: [MBZ] Axe handles, was Shirley's post-surgery care

[Randy Bennell via Mercedes]

Have you used a handle from baileys?
Where are they made?
Things like this were once a standard thing in hardware stores but now, 
it seems like all of this stuff comes from the far east and is a rough 
copy of the originals.
The ones that I have found in the local stores are not well shaped. 
Generally too large - like the lathe was set on a plus 2 setting or 
something like that.
It might be possible to buy one and carve it down easier than making a 
complete one from scratch but it does seem to me like I should need to 
do that.
I also find it hard to believe that I can only buy something like that 
online. Hard to tell what one is getting if one cannot see and handle 
the product.

I do actually have a REAL truck, a crew cab HD F-250 powerstroke 7.3, and can 
clearly see the difference between that and the M-class. Nonetheless, the W163 
is also different from the fleets of crossovers and 4WD unibody cars out there.

It was you that took issue with Kaleb calling it a truck, I was just pointing 
out that he was correct by common usage. I promise that I was not hurt by you

Life is funny.
You seem determined to define your Mercdes as a "truck".
On the other side of that scenario, I recall that we had friends, many years 
ago,  who were insulted when I referred to their full sized Chevy Blazer as a 
"truck".

If I recall correctly, the kit contained a new Denso compressor, an expansion

It was definitely less expensive than buying all the pieces separately.

went to return it he found it had a 15 day return policy from the date ordered, 
no warranty and no manufaturer's warranty.

He never bought from them again.

You can order the compressor and other stuff separate. I'm probably ordering 
the other parts from importec.

I'm waiting for Fred to chime in any moment...

My wife introduced me to an Italian expression "His(her) straw tail has

one's temper over a small thing, usually a perceived slight.  Warning that
someone has a straw tail - we'd say they have a short fuze.

I had a Kiwi roommate who was full of all kinds of strange sayings.  At

The time being winter I had no idea what he was talking about.  So later

That is like the line from MASH where Col Flagg (?) says, "Well, I'm

at least similar to that.)

Mine came from a Beetle Bailey cartoon where the general was walking out

is teeing up and comments, "You've got to be off to do this kind of

Turns out it was a Mark VIII, a model I was totally unaware of.  A nice
Metallic Almond Green as Jaguar called it. I did some research and found
that it was a really cool car, very nicely appointed, and not many were
made, only about 6,000 or so.

Re: [MBZ] Rock Auto AC Compressors

Life is funny.
You seem determined to define your Mercdes as a "truck".
On the other side of that scenario, I recall that we had friends, many
years ago,  who were insulted when I referred to their full sized Chevy
Blazer as a "truck".

Used to be that you could buy direct from denso as "rebuilt" units that
were actually new (as is often the case).  They had their own side, and
prices were good.

But last one I bought was 10 years ago.

Looks like varnish to me.  I have a gallon can of "Methylene Chloride Free"
paint stripper that I've used for all of the ones I've repaired.  Works
great, but you must be careful to keep it only on the circuit side of the
board.  I then rinse off the board under running water using a small scrub
brush then blow dry.
