Re: [MBZ] Kids not listening such as those on Fakebook

CNC operators/techs and robot programmers/service techs will do well. The 
community college here is trying to create them for the big manufacturing 
companies that are being lured here by no unions and hefty tax giveaways but 
the raw material is lacking among the local populace.

Re: [MBZ] Kids not listening such as those on Fakebook

[Clay Monroe via Mercedes]

Higher education is being wasted on making and keeping the unemployable 
illiterati population expand so that college teachers can keep raking in a 
cheque.  They do not expand on the knowledge base in any appreciable manner.  
Just seem to build a larger class of indoctrination spewers who pollute the 
minds of people who could be making their nations great once more, or still.

The talentless will not gain talent by studying the arts, but by actually 
performing their craft.  Twisting history to suit your personal agenda will not 
illuminate the past, but obscure the truth, leading to a loss of useful 
knowledge for the future.  Higher education should return to guilds so that 
those who have actual valuable knowledge are able to pass it along to the next 
providers of useful service to humanity.

[MBZ] The lay of the land is shifting

So, the rich and beautiful have left the city, so …. 

I will grant that there is a dearth of pretty people in the state, and those 
people I ran into seem to make Costco their fashion store of choice.  That or 
REI, which just built themselves a massive new location in town.   There is one 
Mercadoo de Sam el muerto, but I think they have the standard plastic clothing 
from china that is available in all the other low  end shoppes.

I am in no way a fashion horse, but this news is a sad commentary on the world 
we live in.

[MBZ] BMW says electrification is overhyped, diesel engines have at least 20 more years

[OK Don via Mercedes]

https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/bmw-says-electrification-is-overhyped-diesel-engines-have-at-least-20-more-years/ar-AADvwdY?li=BBnb4R7

Despite just participating in a flurry

of hyped, electrified car reveals
,
BMW  isn't
convinced that the end is nigh for the internal combustion engine.

The diesel 
engine still has oodles of time left in the world, and the shift to
electrification is overhyped, says the BMW Group board member for
development, Klaus Frohlich. A report from *Automotive News*

quotes Frohlich declaring that the diesel engine still has at least 20 more
years, and the gasoline engine, at least 30 years. Also, he toned down the
general rhetoric surrounding electric cars
 and their
impending takeover.

"The shift to electrification is overhyped. Battery-electric vehicles cost
more in terms of raw materials for batteries. This will continue and could
eventually worsen as demand for these raw materials increases," Frohlich
says. Needless to say, that kind of talk sounds a bit different than what
we hear from Tesla
 and other
electric car backers.

So even though BMW continues to say it's actively developing and pursuing
all-electric models, doubt remains. That is clear across the industry, as
everyone who produces electric cars struggles to make a profit selling
those vehicles. However, Frohlich did detail a few internal combustion
engines that don't appear to have a way forward.

The quad-turbo six-cylinder diesel

offered in Europe doesn't have a long shelf life, as Froelich declared it
too expensive and complicated to build. He says the most turbos we should
expect to see on a new BMW diesel

engine is three. What a shame, right? We kid, three turbos are plenty.
Another diesel engine on the outs is the 1.5-liter three-cylinder only
offered in Europe. Frohlich says that particular oil-burner is too
expensive to try and get it to comply with emissions standards.

An engine that'll hit home in America is the 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 found
in the top-level 7 Series
.
Frohlich didn't mince words when it came to that one.

"Each year, we have to invest to update the V12 to new emissions
regulations, particularly in China. And when the V-12 accounts for about
5,000 sales a year globally, this includes Rolls-Royce
, the cost
of these updates is several thousand euros per unit," Frohlich says.

BMW has previously committed

to keeping this engine around through 2023, at the very least in the U.S.
market. What happens after that is a discussion for another day.
Additionally Frohlich says BMW is working on a market case to keep its V8
gasoline engine around. That'll be paired with some form of electrification
in the future, though, specifically to deal with countries that have heavy
taxes added for high carbon dioxide output.

Reading the tax code on the institutes web page, the value for anything under

The thing was on the verge of being towed by the city, then I would have been

Re: [MBZ] Kids not listening such as those on Fakebook

I got fluffy after she put a ring on me.  But I was doing the cooking, so my 
own fault.   SWMBA remains rail thin even after popping out two kids.

There are a few gals that #1 boy knows who did not need a ring to plump up.  
They nailed down a fella and he had employment, the gals were “finding 
themselves”, mostly in the fridge it seems.  The young men are too busy to 
bother off loading the females, so I posit the gals must have nice 
personalities.

how to keep making cars there instead of just installing robots.  There are a 
great number of jobs that will be automated.  SWMBA and her legal skills will

Re: [MBZ] Cool Classic Cars That Are Perfect for a Collector on a Budget

Re: [MBZ] OT tankless water heaters

[Randy Bennell via Mercedes]

I have coffee with some old guys most mornings at McDonald's before I 
come to the office. They are all retired. About a week ago, one of them 
told us that his neighbour's son was killed the day before. He owned a 
construction company (trucks, backhoes, loaders etc) and they were doing 
a foundation repair on a building. He and 2 employees were down in a 
trench laying re-bar for a concrete pour when the trench caved in. The 
other 2 fellows jumped out but the business owner was buried. He was in 
his 50's. He must have known better than to do that, but trades people 
are often very careless. It becomes all about how quickly they can do a 
job in order to make more money and they take chances that they ought 
not to take. If it had been an employee that died instead of the owner, 
he would likely have been fined tens of thousands by the workplace 
safety department of the provincial government.

I’ll defer to others with more current knowledge, but I would suggest a 
Mercedes C4 SD Connect system. I have a C3, which is hardwired via serial port, 
but the C4 can do WiFi with the MUX, I believe.

I looked on Ali Baba and eBay. Ali Baba had some deals under $400-$500, but the 
prices on eBay were stupid. Not sure what that’s about. Try your “BangGood” 
guys and see if there’s anything there. You could also post a “want to buy” on 
BW and see what you get, maybe someone has a C3 or C4 system they want to get 
rid of.

The computer is the easy part, you gotta have the MUX and cables to do it. I 
would suggest trying to buy a complete system rather than cobble something 
together out of different sources, as with a complete system you’ll have

The elder went to university and has a master's degree. He got lucky, 
and he proved himself. He has a good job in his field, unlike many of 
his former classmates. He is an architect and currently working on the 
rehab of the main parliament buildings in Ottawa. He has no student debt 
as we were able to pay his tuition and other expenses and he went to the 
University of Manitoba, which is essentially within sight of our home. 
My wife also worked there for 40 years.


I am proud of them both. They are quite different people. The younger

Re: [MBZ] Why?

My first MB, a 1970 220D came with a Racor filter before the factory
filter. My grandfather bought it new, and the dealer told him it would help
avoid water in the fuel from poor stations. It never collected any water,
that I know of.

Tell him to put his gf on the scales and see what she tips it at today.  
I guarantee you if they move in together she will be 40lb more by this 
time next year having realized she has caught the boy and does not need 
to keep herself in good trim.  The boy will then be miserable as she 
will be trying to run his life, and the situation will no longer be so 
attractive in various ways, and if he decides to call it quits then he 
will have this apartment and whatnot to carry along, he will want to

Choices:
Learn a trade, be in demand, work a trade that is totally portable to any
part of the country, earn a high income, never have student debt, get paid
while you learn as an apprentice.
or
Go to college, struggle to "find yourself" while incurring huge student
debt, have to pay off that student debt while seeking employment with your
degree in "Underwater Liberal Basket Weaving".

You are 18, you know everything, you have no listening skills, and you get
to live with the choices you make you decide.

You should check out Mike Rowe's stuff.  He has a foundation that is

A successful 'one man and a truck' operation can net low six figures, with no 
employees. 
Of course, you need to 'pay your dues' and rise to the master plumber level 
before embarking on that path. 
The good news is that gaining experience in plumbing and electrical pays a lot 
better than being a college student.

I've got my granddaddy's 72 Datsun 510 wagon in storage. been sitting 
for at least 30yr.  It's surprisingly straight, a few dings on the body 
but not very noticeable.  It would need to be restored mechanically 
quite a bit at this point, or really cleaned up anyway.

I have had good luck with the Focus. Oldest kid is driving it now, 2003
model, 210,000 miles and running like a top. I am quite sure that rust
is going to get it before the engine quits. I'd look at them again
before paying the premium prices for a Honda or Nissan. Hondas have such
a great reputation but the two that I've owned have been more trouble
than that Focus.

[MBZ] 2011 Mercedes C300 Air Conditioner Mystery

[Robert Koziak via Mercedes]

Hi All,
Yesterday I was working on my daughter's 2011 C300 w/75K changing oil, air 
filters, flushed brake fluid etc. When I finished took it for a ride and the 
air conditioner was not working.  Went to a local mechanic who checked the R134 
and everything was normal.  This morning I was taking it back to the mechanic 
to further troubleshoot when the air conditioner returned to normal???
It was very hot in the northeast both yesterday and today.  Took it out for 
several trips this morning and still working great.
Curious if anyone else had this type of issue and what it could have been.
Thanks in advance.
Bob K

Re: [MBZ] Fancy Computer, was Re: ML 722.6 results

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

I’m thinking I need to get one as I mess now with these “newer” cars. I would 
appreciate your recommendation as I am lazy (though I have looked through those 
BW posts) and you have experience. Paying someone (who is not Joe) would cover 
some of the cost. 

What I divined from the BW posts is that buying a HDD loaded with the software 
and the Fancy Box with connectors from a chinee vendor is the way to go, then 
buying the Special Flavor of laptop (some specific Compaq model if I recall) to 
put the HDD in. I looked up those computers and found a bunch cheepcheep on 
eBay.

I don’t recommend the SnapOn scanners for a first time user. As Mitch 
mentioned, they have gaps in what data they can access and display, so you end 
up not having visibility into some things. I have a SnapOn MTG2500 that I like 
to take for inspections, as it’s easy to use and powered by the car, so I don’t 
have to worry about getting power (necessary for the SDS.) However, it doesn’t 
do everything the SDS does, so I lose some visibility with it.

There is a good but very long thread on the SDS clones on the BW R129 forum.

You can find a good clone with a laptop, cables and MUX (multiplexer) under 
$500. If you plan on working on just about any MB from the early 90s through 
late 2000s (2000-2010/12) the SDS is indispensable. You’ll wonder how you got 
along without it once you have one.

I figure mine has paid for itself many, many times over in time saved and 
confirmation of diagnoses.

I recommend you find 'Joe's Garage', where Joe is a guy who likes to buy tools 
(I can tell you where to go in Bellevue Michigan, but that's about it), and see 
if Joe will plug in his fancy scanner, select the appropriate year and engine 
size W163 from the menu, and display and clear all the engine and transmission 
codes. There's a good chance Joe will do that for a picture of Jackson 
(Tubman?) and no paperwork. 

I know a Snap-On Soleus Ultra will link up to the TCU in a 2003 ML and display 
all the transmission stuff. 
I strongly believe it'll clear all the transmission faults. 
But it doesn't do EVERYTHING. For instance, I can clear airbag faults from a 
late model GM car, but I can't clear crash data and make the SRS light go out. 
The owner of the Ultra says the other Joe down the road has a better scanner
