No 124 experience.  But if the 124 evaporator job is anything like a 126, I'd 
check for leaks everywhere else first.

Re: [MBZ] Soot on the Boot

2019-06-19 Thread Peter Frederick via Mercedes
Dry soot or greasy soot?  Check for boost, proper boost control, and excessive 
oil consumption, all of which are turbo related.

Do you have excessive smoke when doing the "smoke test" -- wide open throttle, 
third gear, about 50 mph.  If so you have a fuel delivery issue, turbo problem 
(lack of boost, so excessive fuel) or low compression.

Low compression isn't a sudden thing as a rule, usually gradually gets worse.

A solid 27 is typical.  I've been _very_ happy with it so far.

Beats me. What I saw on the ML was that the plumbing is all different because 
of the unique tank. I have no idea if that’s the case in the sedan, but I 
certainly don’t see why you couldn’t just source a “regular” tank and pump from 
LKQ or someone and install it.

Re: [MBZ] Floyd's Friend's Car

2019-06-19 Thread Dan Penoff via Mercedes
My 1998 S210 wagon averages around 22 mpg in a 50-50 city/highway cycle. I lose 
maybe a half to three quarters of a mile off that in the summer when the AC is 
going full blast. The 2002 E320 that belongs to my youngest son is currently 
averaging 21.62 mpg over it’s ownership.

The M112 engine is very economical as long as you don’t drive with a lead foot. 
And it has some neck-snapping performance if you want it. Get it over 3800 RPM 
and the shutter in the intake manifold drops and performance is just about 
equal to a V8 if you ask me.

That’s quite possible. I seem to recall seeing something in the ML forum about 
CA cars having different fuel systems and the parts being pricey.

Without a VIN it’s impossible to know, but certainly plausible.

Looks like a piece of cardboard to cover the license plate.

already have an 81 TD, I didn't follow up on it.
Looks like it "needs just a little love" to be "fair" red paint has

No, you need to lower the front too. You can use a torch to cut the 
springs or just heat several coils so that they collapse on themselves.
That will also improve the handling because the body will not be 
wobbling around on the top of those springs.
We also recommend ditching the exhaust system in favour of a hole in the 
hood. A bit of pipe to feed the smoke up through the hood is optional.

Have fun!

Not certain, but I think the high window sills and thicker pillars are 
intended to make them safer. The rounded hood etc is supposed to make 
them more aerodynamic and thus more fuel efficient.

clearance in a tight parking spot, much greater risk of a collision.  Can't

Get your lady friend to drive one of your Benz fleet, see how much easier
it is to drive around with excellent visibility, that might help convince
her.  A nice 210 wagon would probably do everything she needs.

I should enlist Wilton to talk me through this.  We found all the
color-coded paint on the screws in the dash that he marked up when he did
that car.  Unfortunately the evaporator did not survive removal from the
car, or I would be re-using that.

SWMBA had a hiundai-eh from new.  Not a horrible car, just a bit plastic.  Then 
I saw the contemporary MB offerings, and was appalled that koreans made a 
comparable car to the germans.  My w220 was just a smidge better quality, but 
that crapped out after 15 years on the road and  112k on the clock.  The 
hyundai was still  adequate five years later, but  had lost over half its 
value.  I think there were three niggling build quality issues that the dealer 
addressed.

Re: [MBZ] 4Matic E320 wagon with a bit of rust, fairly cheap

2019-06-19 Thread Rick Knoble via Mercedes
Are you certain? My research indicates that MB started using a water based 
paint at that time (damn eco weenies) and it wasn't particularly robust. Any 
surface fissures or chips would lead to full blown rust out in short order, 
especially in the rust belt.

That’s just what you can see.  When a W210 rusts, it rusts from the inside out.

Yeah that was my friend but she thinks Benzes are too expensive to work 
on and maintain.  I tried to explain shop rates were about the same 
everywhere, parts weren't too expensive, and besides I would help 
maintain it.


She lost her job last week, but will probably get another offer this 
week, so she will feel flush with money and will probably buy something 
newer in an asian flavor, who knows.


But yeah, I sent her the link, told her buy it for now, $1500 cash, 
accept some maintenance, and then look for something better once she 
gets settled and sell it for $1500.  Hell I'd drive her over there for a 
little weekend getaway, but, women... who knows. I'd be all over it though.

[MBZ] Another Floyd Car

Here you go, Floyd, a match for your SL600:

https://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/cto/d/lutz-mercedes-sl-600-for-sale/6915460051.html

Casual glance suggests it appears to be a pretty nice car. It’s got a pano top

There are a lot of pretty nice W210s down this way. If they’ve been kept away 
from road salt they age pretty well and are a darned good value for a gas and 
go vehicle.

I paid $4k two years ago for the 2002 sedan with 90k on the clock that my 
youngest son now owns, and it has been trouble free. Only thing we’ve done to  
it since I bought it from OkieLand was put a crank position sensor in it. 
Otherwise it gets regular 5k Mobil 1 oil changes and that’s about it. I think 
it’s got about 110k on it now and it’s going strong.

You’re on the fringes of Appalachia there, so be prepared for a lot of meth

probably all shot.


I am probably going to visit a cousin who lives in Frankfort in a month 
or so, was looking at the Lexington list to see what things looked like 
there in Benzland.  Noticed a few rusty 210s, I think they use road salt

 My parents live on the rural/urban divide near a dirt road that accesses some 
power lines. People trap all manner of vermin and move them to that dirt road 
where they find my parent's backyard. You can tell transplanted squirrels 
because they're dumb and attack the bird feeder where they suddenly get lead 
poisoning.The crows have gotten so used to it you can tell a transplanted 
squirrel because the crows show up. After one gets popped they swoop in to get 
the remains.
I bought a Ruger .22 pellet gun at Wal-Mart last fall. For just over $100 its a 
terrific shooter, at 30 feet it'll hold pellets into the size of a dime all 
day. We shot it out to nearly 100 yards and while the group opened up to more 
like 2" and you could watch the pellets fly it was still ringing an old plow 
coulter wheel pretty good. I got it to shoot chipmunks and interestingly we 
don't seem to have any so far this year. I've seen our resident groundhog but 
he hasn't tried for the garden...

We used multiple-catch live traps for mice in Los Alamos, but I did not
release them after catching. As I told someone there, any mouse I get is
going to die -- I used to immerse the traps in water to clean them and
drown the mice at the same time.

We found having a dog convinces the squirrels to go elsewhere very
quickly.

Since there are no more bird (squirrel) feeders around the house ant more I see 
very few squirrels around. 

They would run off if I grabbed the pellet rifle so I had to be fairly stealthy 
after awhile. I managed to pop quite a few, not that it did much good. The 
learned and passed-on behavior was interesting to observe.

They're game animals here. 
But the season is pretty broad, Sept 15 to March 1.
I got three chipmunks in victor rat traps in my garage last summer. 
When they invade my home, it's war. 

No closed season on groundhogs, but haven't needed to shoot one for digging up 
my sun room this year. Two years of Phoebe the Shorthaired Pointer has 
convinced them to burrow elsewhere.

Re: [MBZ] I guess I was ignorant at some point too

Thanks Dan. I was always trying it with the spaces and 
didn't get much other then the kit part. Never found a 
picture till this morning. I'll have to give the dealer 
a call and order it.

Thanks everyone for your help,

MG

That’s the correct number and description. Nomenclature sometimes leaves 
something to be desired with Mercedes, as some things don’t translate well.

A good way to validate something like this is to take the part number with no 
spaces and google it along with the word “Mercedes”. You’ll see links that 
identify it properly or you can go to “images” in the search page and see 
pictures of what it is. I did this and there are all sorts of descriptions 
“leveling valve seal kit”.

Just as an aside, the Classic Center parts search properly identifies this as a 
“repair kit”.

I don't want to order one of those for $60 for only the 3-4 washers in the picture.

There are so many of the little buggers around here I was giving serious

The video the cop took of the 'crazy squirrel' looked like a caged pet squirrel

Somehow I wonder if the wild squirrels will kill it promptly when the 
authorities dump it in the wild. Oh well, what's one more tree rat more or less?

I don't have a docking station, but do have several old laptops. Seems like 
that might work. Also have several bootable CDs or might be able to download 
one from a game-playing Win10 computer which might be more compatible.
