Yeah, I get 17 also. But when I enter it into the MB Classic

Hey Larry, recommend you try Tom Hanson at the Classic Center for the harness part number and availability. I was able to get a new harness for my '95 sedan about seven years ago. Other options include rebuilding it yourself or sending to a place that rebuilds harnesses.

In my experience with you-pull-it yards, the harness left intact. I can check
around here, two of the independent garages I know keep an assortment of
junkers to scavenge parts, one had a car like yours a few years ago.

[MBZ] Mini Split HVAC

2017-10-02 Thread Scott Ritchey via Mercedes

Last year I installed a 1200 BTU “Pioneer” brand mini-split heat pump in my 
barn (to control humidity and prevent freezing).  I bought it online from an 
outfit called HighSEER.com, in FL, for a very reasonable price (IMO).   

We just installed a “Trane” mini-split system in the church kitchen and (as far 
as I can tell) they are identical.

Hi All,
 Against my better wishes, I took the 91 300D W124 to a Indy.  My wife
thought they worked on Diesel MBs and the person at the shop thought the
same.  Now I'm not so sure.  I was getting a short around the wiring
harness going to the GPs.  The shop said one of the GPs was bad  and I
said, fine replace it - all 5 were replaced 6 months ago - but today they
said the GP was not the problem - he thinks the harness has a short inside
the wiring.  (after they removed the intake and put it back).

 So I am going to need a used harness or I'm going to have to repair
mine.  I'm not sure I agree that the wiring in the harness is shorting
because the 80a fuse in the GP Relay popped, I replaced it and it popped
again before I sent it to the Indy. That seems to say the Fuse is doing its
job, right?
 But I don't know if a short will create enough heat to fuse the wires
together as the Indy thinks.  Isn't that the whole reason for the fuse?

 Max? Kaleb? Anyone? have a used 5 cyl W124 GP Harness?  Or maybe I'm
going about this all wrong?

Thoughts?

Re: [MBZ] Glow Plug Wiring Harness

Thanks Kaleb,
I'm operating at a disadvantage here. I am unable to physically
stand next to the car and R the manifold. Maybe I am now - have been
going to PT. We'll see. As I think about it I think my plan is to
repair it as you said and just take my time with the R I have
almost never used an Indy til now so I'm freaking out a little.

Think I can start it on the starter without the GP's? The battery is
nice and strong. I don't really want to have it flat-bedded again --

Thanks again gang!

Re: [MBZ] Glow Plug Wiring Harness

That's be great Max - if you go to the PnP please check to see if they 
still have one.  I saw some 240D harnesses for between $25 and $50.  Let 
me know what you think the going rate might be and I'll let you know if 
it's in my budget.
Right now my plan is to pull the Harness and repair it myself.  The 
local MB dealer gave me the PN - 124 543 0026.  I'll let you know what 
the Classic Center says...


From what I remember of my 240D harness it should be dirt simple once I 
get the right gauge wire.    But the harness IIRC is nothing but 6 wires 
- 5 going to the GPs and 1 to the ign sw.


Do you recall if there is a cover over the wiring?  All I need do is 
test the resistance to find which one (or 2 ?) might be shorted. It'll 
be a PITA for me to R the manifold but so be it.  At least I'll know 
it's fixed correctly.


Thanks for your comments - I appreciate them.

Larry

Re: [MBZ] Glow Plug Wiring Harness

Very unlikely you need to replace the whole gp harness. If it's blowing the 
fuse you have a short. Either a plug is shorted which should be easy to find, 
or often times the connectors at the gp gets rotated around on the stud of the 
plug and contacts the head or other metal part somewhere. It's quite common and 
should be easy to swap.

Summerville SC about 45min from Charleston. I think when I talked to her before 
she said $1300 but now she just wants to get rid of it. Salvage title, hmmm.  
Does it say what the damage was?  What do you think would be reasonable?  I’m

Re: [MBZ] 08 320 BlueTec

    That's good news.  Every once in a while I hear about one that 
slipped.  re the water damage - yep, I'm told it sometimes doesn't show 
up for months or a year or more before the problem becomes obvious -
    Of course if some nitwit will fire a weapon into a large crowd I 
shouldn't be surprised when someone sells a damaged car as perfect.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  And it's a used car, so no matter

Always buy the best example you can afford. It's cheaper in the long run.

[MBZ] OT I can't believe it

So the DME screwed me over on the cpap machine, I paid $500 to them when 
in fact insurance says it should have been around $150 on the EOB I got 
later.  I had been meaning to call them to complain and lo and behold I 
got a check in the mail from them.  I guess they are honest even though 
they are charging way too much.

everything and just wants the car gone.  i had sent her a text a coupla
weeks ago about it, never heard from her, so just rang her and she said she
would get a pic of the trunk and the VIN door  plate this evening and send
it to me.  So I can decipher what exactly the car is.

If she is just wanting to unload the thing and run off with this guy, I
think some combination of us could help there.  I'll let y'all know.  Could
be a cheap beater,whatever it is.

I have an idea the girl might be a bit of a flake, but I'm not sure why...

[MBZ] Glow Plug Wiring Harness


Hi All,
    Against my better wishes, I took the 91 300D W124 to a Indy.  My 
wife thought they worked on Diesel MBs and the person at the shop 
thought the same.  Now I'm not so sure.  I was getting a short around 
the wiring harness going to the GPs.  The shop said one of the GPs was 
bad  and I said, fine replace it - all 5 were replaced 6 months ago - 
but today they said the GP was not the problem - he thinks the harness 
has a short inside the wiring.  (after they removed the intake and put 
it back).


    So I am going to need a used harness or I'm going to have to repair 
mine.  I'm not sure I agree that the wiring in the harness is shorting 
because the 80a fuse in the GP Relay popped, I replaced it and it popped 
again before I sent it to the Indy. That seems to say the Fuse is doing 
its job, right?
    But I don't know if a short will create enough heat to fuse the 
wires together as the Indy thinks.  Isn't that the whole reason for the 
fuse?


    Max? Kaleb? Anyone? have a used 5 cyl W124 GP Harness?  Or maybe 
I'm going about this all wrong?


Thoughts?
Larry

[MBZ] This car that might be an E dizzel

A buddy sent me a msg saying that girl who has the maybe Edizzel for 
sale met a guy online, is moving somewhere with him, and is getting rid 
of everything and just wants the car gone.  i had sent her a text a 
coupla weeks ago about it, never heard from her, so just rang her and 
she said she would get a pic of the trunk and the VIN door  plate this 
evening and send it to me.  So I can decipher what exactly the car is.


If she is just wanting to unload the thing and run off with this guy, I 
think some combination of us could help there.  I'll let y'all know.  
Could be a cheap beater,whatever it is.


I have an idea the girl might be a bit of a flake, but I'm not sure why...

Those were the main two for me too. 
I absolutely could not watch TV after 4pm, and I could not guarantee staying 
awake for the whole movie if I went to the theater. Haven't gone out to the 
movies since I got the CPAP, but I don't have trouble watching TV as long as I 
go to bed before midnight. If I stay up until 2 and wake up at 6, then I feel 
like I did before CPAP. 

I now sleep the night through 2/3 of the time instead of none of the time, and 
most of the 1/3 are nights the dog wakes me up and I realize I should get up 
and pee.

As you have been told several times, you need to get an attorney working
for YOU. If you are incapable of functioning, the attorney will be
capable and will see this situation through to its conclusion.

Get a local attorney!

Re: [MBZ] Some electrical issues..runs great needs gas

If "some electrical issues" means "can't get my car out of 2nd gear", then 
that's the usual way to buy a W210 or a late W140 for a 3 digit price tag, 
nothing unusual there. 

"Needs gas" could mean "I'm too lazy to buy a gas can and dump a couple gallons 
in the car", but more likely it means "I'd rather not have you hear it run 
before you pay me".

Re: [MBZ] This is interesting

2.3-16s are like 450SEL-6.9s, they have wheels that were only made for them, 
and in my opinion not having those wheels is a price deduction.

Usually flood cars get a flood branded salvage title. Which is a rebuildable 
title, but it should always carry a water/flood brand, even as a rebuilt 
vehicle. 
https://www.copart.com/lot/38900357
https://www.copart.com/lot/40371337

Either way, the Houston CoPart lot must be overflowing with them.
https://www.copart.com/lotSearchResults/?free=true=flood%20mercedes=1

It's also possible to get a parts only / scrap / nonrepairable flood title, 
which hopefully the deepwater Houston/Harvey cars get.

They should go to the PnPs for parts only, which is how the titles will be 
branded if it's done on the up and up.

Re: [MBZ] 08 320 BlueTec

With all the water damaged cars from our recent hurricanes, I was 
wondering if we will start to see large # os MB's, etc at our PnP's? or 
will they go straight to the shredder to prevent people trying to put 
them back on the road? (which they always do, even with new cars)

So ya'll be careful if looking at New or used cars.

Re: [MBZ] OT Kaleb's CPAP

I didn't have any issues adjusting to it. About the only difference I see is I 
don't seem to yawn as much during the day especially in the afternoon. And I 
have not fallen asleep while watching tv at night, so I guess it's working. I 
hardly ever have to get up to make a trip to the bathroom to pee in the middle 
of the night. Not really sure why not as I wouldn't have figured it would be 
related. One night I woke up a couple of hours before I was ready to get up and 
took mask off and it seemed like it was pretty rough, like I could now tell the 
difference. 

I still need to call the DME and complain about paying the $500 for my share 
when insurance said my share should have been $149.
