[MBZ] Cold air intake

[Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes]

I have a later style w124 fender on the wagon with a cold air intake vent.
I would like to use it for that. Currently I just have a cannister filter
sitting inside the fender, rather than the little plastic fitting with the
round hole that seals on the inside of the fender and feeds the stock
airbox. I guess I will try to buy the seal plate from mercedes.

I suspect that the na606 filter from the 1995 e300d is a bit under size for
my fuel level on the turbo 606 motor however, so perhaps I need to fab
something up and use the stock fender seal plate to feed a hose going to a
larger box.

Seems like maybe a 603 turbo filter would be bigger than a na606 filter. Is
the 603 filter box larger than the na606 box? And where does the 603 box
draw air from? The headlight? And is it wedged in behind the headlight like
the na606 box?

Thanks

BLUF (bottom line up front): There are a handful of capacitors in the
computer that die and probably are the source of much woe, and replacing
them would be A GOOD IDEA if your OM603 has any idle quality issues or
kick-down switch issues.

-

"There are 5 Electrolytic capacitors on the EDS computer boards. On the 126
the EDS computer is located in the passenger kick compartment and requires
no tools to remove. Not sure about the 201 and 124.

4 phillips screws in the lid removes the boards which are clipped together.
Looking inside the 2 boards, you can see 2 heatsinks that are clamped to
some transistors on one of the boards. You will want to remove the 2
phillips screws holding the OTHER board to the main heatsink/plug assembly.
You can then lift it off and pivot backwards on the ribbon cable. There are
plastic clips that hold the 2 cards together, they simply unsnap.

Once you have the cards opened up like a book, the locations of the
capacitors are obvious and the capacitors are clearly marked. On the board
you didn't unscrew from the main heatsink/plug assembly, there are 4
capacitors: 100µF @ 50V Radial, 100µF @ 10V Axial, 22µF @ 40V Radial, 7µF @
63V Radial.

The board you unscrewed and pivoted out of the way has a single
electrolytic capacitor 22µF @ 16V Axial.

The circuit cards are double-sided, so be careful desoldering and
resoldering. I used 63V parts for all my replacements. 7µF is also not a
standard value, so I substituted a 6.8µF capacitor for it.

Out of all of my capacitors, only the 22µF radial was good (I replaced it
anyway). The next highest reading I got out of any of mine was .006µF In
Germany, they'd refer to that as "kaput".

[MBZ] Special tool "Holder"

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Well, I finally got the timer in.  I cut a new "tool" out of 30 ga tin, 
then RTFM, which sez to take out the upper pin for the lower chain guide 
below the vac pump. I had missed/forgotten that step.  With the thinner 
tin and with the last pin out, the timer slid right in. (Like the book 
sez it will)


Parts order from Tom H. should be in soon.  Tomorrow I will make sure 
everything works right without interference while turning it over a few 
times, check/set der falfe clearance, put in the oel pump, pan etc. the 
see if I can get the IP to line up in the right spline.


It is too freaking cold to be doing this.  They have been promising 55º 
but we get 38º


I should have everything finished within a day or two of getting the CC 
order in.   Have to put a seal in the PS pump too.

Is it one of the “switchblade” types of key fobs?  Those are the ones that are 
NLA at this time, although my dealer says that there are efforts being made to 
put them back in production but they’re not sure when.

If it’s one of the teardrop shaped ones you’re good.

Depending on the type (metal or plastic) a replacement will set you back 
$150/$200.  I just bought a plastic one for my W210 wagon, and it was $140 with

Oops, a 2014 CLA250 is only 208hp, or about 50hp down on the GM 2.0L.
AMG versions of the engine are over 300hp,

[MBZ] Ties and Self Defense

[Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes]

With the lengthy threads on ties, I am moved to mention that a traditional tie 
is a potential handle for a miscreant to grab and use against you. When I 
worked in law enforcement I would not allow my subordinates to wear anything 
other than a clip on. I guess it is not as much of an issue with bowties.

 

I guess this is not something that would occur to most people.

Re: [MBZ] Beautiful Day

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

It’s taxed like a regular paycheck.  No “ding” for being a bonus, or something 
like that.  It also goes towards our total annual salary, which increases the 
average for your pension if you’re near retirement.

We have to take 40 hours a year, minimum, or lose it.  That keeps people from 
accruing huge amounts of time by retirement.  You can still do it if you 
started early.  Sick time gets rolled over to the next year, but you can’t cash 
it out when you leave.  That means people get “sick” for several weeks before 
retirement or separation.  I did this when I left the school district, since I 
couldn’t roll my sick time over to the County.  I was “sick” for about 45 days 
before I separated.  For that time I was actually drawing two paychecks - one 
from the school district and one from the County.

Kept me from losing all that accrued time.  It’s just the way the game is 
played.  I would just as well they adopt the private sector PTO approach and be 
done with all the shenanigans.

When I worked at the school district I knew people who had as many as 600 hours 
of accrued vacation time, because the district didn’t have a payout program 
like the County. A few ears ago they capped the maximum hours you could accrue 
to 600, meaning that if you go over you lose those hours.  The guy I knew who 
had the 600+ hours just took off most of December every year so he wouldn’t 
lose hours he had accrued that year.

Re: [MBZ] Beautiful Day

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

We recently transitioned to "flexible PTO" which means I can "take as much time 
as I need" for any purpose that I want. I thought it sounded like a scam at 
first and couldn't see what the company got out of it. Then they emailed me to 
say that the PTO I had accrued would be paid out at the end of employment. 
Thats when I realized the company's angle, they won't have to payout to any new 
employees since those people won't ever accrue any time off...
Apparently studies show that people with FPTO tend to take fewer days off, I'm 
not going to get caught with that...

We can "sell" unused vacation days back to the County if we have at least 80 
hours.  I should have accumulated enough time this year to do it. It's like 
getting an extra paycheck (2 weeks per pay period) a year.  That and if we 
don't use sick time, we get credit for the first 32 hours converted over to 
vacation time. That makes it easy to roll over sick time without using it...

Re: [MBZ] This guy is pretty optimistic

[Donald Snook via Mercedes]

A little pricey. BUT, the last year for 124 Chassis and a diesel.   That's not 
a common car and some would be excited about the combination.

"Unlimited wash package?" 

Yes. We have two car washes that offer it.  First it was Legends (which became 
Zips) and the other one is Green Lantern.  I think both companies have multiple 
locations in the Midwest.   My current plan costs $33 a month.  It is exterior 
only with free vacuums.  It includes the wash, underbody wash, wax, and wheel 
cleaner/tire shine.  I can go through the wash as much as I want.  For me as 
long as I wash it 3 times in a month, it pays off.  Last winter it was great 
because I could wash it every other day to get the salt/sand off it.  It’s a 
black car, so it needs a frequent bath. 

I guess Green Lantern is only KS and Missouri

Zips has many more locations: https://www.zipscarwash.com/locations/

Re: [MBZ] OM603 EDS/ELR computer repair - replace the capacitors or your pistons will MELT!

[OK Don via Mercedes]

There are types there that I don't recognize, and would have to look up -
technology keeps marching right along!

I can testify that you need to pay attention to the voltage rating. Back
when I was a novice licensed ham, I built a power supply for my
transmitting amplifier out of scavenged parts. The powers upply was feeding
450 volts to the tubes, but the filter caps I had were only rated for 400
volts. I figured that there was enough safety factor built in, so used
them. A few months later while I was using the station, I heard a loud pop,
smoke came roiling out of the power supply, and the room really stunk.
Those electrolytic capacitors had both blown the bottoms out and crap was
everywhere under the chassis. I had to break down and buy new ones, so got
some rated for 500 volts.

Somebody should be able to find something here that could be fastened or sewn 
on the tie:

Personally I'd just get one of the pins (tie tacs?) and fasten in on the bow 
ties knot or even on one of "wings" so long as it didn't make it droop.

Does anyone know the capacitor type / value for the tempomat computer?

Re: [MBZ] One or Two for Mr. Snook, Esq

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Around "Chaston" we got a bunch of old fops who like to wear bowties.  
They seem to think it confers on them some sort of air of trustiness or 
gravitas or something, but in general it just makes them look like fat 
old dandies who are trying too hard.


Some dudes can pull it off though, like my doctor, whose family has 
Chaston roots going way way back, so he is kinda grandfathered in on the 
matter.  They own the paper too, so I guess that confers a bit of 
respectability in some way.

Re: [MBZ] '63 Valiant cabriolet - last of the PB transmission cars

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

My cousin had one of those Valiants with the push button tranny 
shifter,  (coupe or sedan not a droptop) but it was white with red 
interior just like that one, about the same year.  My uncle bought it 
for him when he was not yet old enough to get a DL, so he kept it at my 
grandparents' house.  I would stay with them summers in the country on 
the farm.  They lived on a gravel road maybe 3/4mi long. He would get in 
that thing and just beat the absolute sh*t out of it driving up and down 
the gravel road, revving to redline then punching the shifter button to 
let it go up one.  It was surprisingly quick (at least to me being maybe 
12yo at the time, he was 14 or 15 I guess).  The thing just kept going 
though.  He would run it out of gas down the road, we would have to walk 
back to the house and either siphon some gas from my granddaddy's 
tractor or talk him into running us into town to fill a can or two.  
We'd go pick up pop bottles along the road to get the 3cent deposits and 
get enough for a few gallons of gas, and our granddaddy might throw in a 
quarter or two (gas being a quarter a gallon that wasn't bad), at least 
until he found the tractor empty.


I got to drive it a coupla times too, that was a thrill, but he wouldn't 
let me beat on it.  He was an aspiring drag racer or something.  He had 
a succession of 60s muscle cars, SS396s and such, spent all his money on 
the cars and street racing them with his buddies and tearing them up 
(one of his SSs caught fire and burned up, I think it might have been a 
Successful Fire though it almost incinerated his girlfriend who probably 
dropped the cig down in the back seat during some, um, automotive 
excitement) and getting into trouble with the cops.  After losing the SS 
he borrowed his sister's Ford Torino and wrecked it, which really really 
set her off as she actually had a decent job and needed the ride.  I'm 
not sure how they ever resolved that, maybe they have not yet come to 
terms on the matter.


He ended up becoming a cop (see how that works?) and in charge of the 
motor pool (go figure).  After retiring from there he was manager at a 
little branch bank in the little town he lived in, and got elected mayor 
of it a coupla times.  He is a lot more sedate now, and really fat, 
though I think he has had like 4 wives, the last one running off a few 
months ago.  He's a good ol boy though, and fambly, so there's that.


Fond memories of that Valiant.

Re: [MBZ] OM603 EDS/ELR computer repair - replace the capacitors or your pistons will MELT!

Aluminum electrolytics are, IIRC, by any functional measure the _worst_
capacitors out there.
But!  They're plenty good enough, inexpensive, and small.  They're the
design target of what
you're replacing.  Almost anything else would _work_ better, but probably
wouldn't fit.  (Most
of the aluminum electrolytics I've had to replace were _defective_, and not
representative of
the breed.  Those wretched Frakos.)  No reason to use anything else,
really, so long as you're
using a high-quality part.

Tantalum are rather pricey, but less likely to fail.


Except for the occasional, and highly spectacular, cases where they catch
on fire.  Yes,
on fire.  Literally.  Seen it.  Most especially if you install them
backwards, but I hear it can
happen even when installed correctly.  Functionally they're excellent,
except for that.  For
awhile we used them a lot, though they _are_ pricey.

The tag on the back?

At least these appear to have headlights on them...
