Sadly missing in modern cars, where the prevailing approach is to
install retina-scarring LED projectors that are completely blinding to
oncoming traffic.

A small bulb in the headlight shell that's hooked to the parking lights.
Basically for use at night to light the headlamp for visibility, like DRLs,
but not so bright as to blind people in cities where there is good

 If it's like the W115, I believe you have to replace a 4-pin bakelite 
 connector shell with
 a 6-pin equivalent.  Very straightforward.

Re: [MBZ] W111 coupe dilemma

[Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes]

Yes and it’s a shame about the 250. It’s got everything: floor mounted manual, 
sunroof, euro headlights, factory hitch. But it is remarkably rusty! Nice color 
too- beige with dark red leather !

The 220 needs some body work, a paint job and the wood restored. It also needs 
the mechanicals gone through but should be solid mechanically.

Its a shame the 63 is the solid one.  Those early cars with their funky
single circuit disc brakes don't really give me much confidence.  So many
improvements in the car overall by 1967.

But, being solid is far more important.  I don't think the slight swap is a
big deal, shouldn't be significant wiring changes.

I agree with the others... keep the transmissions were they are.  Someone
in eastern europe will buy that 250SE!

Why worry? Do what makes you happy.
We have seen imperfect cars go for big money on BAT.
Maybe try not to alter things in such a way that they cannot be put back 
to original if someone ultimately wants to go that route, but neither of 
these cars is a relatively perfect specimen,  given you have described 
them both as being in "sad shape", so why not do whatever you want with 
them?

Re: [MBZ] Instrument cluster Fuse?

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 LEDs are diodes (the D in LED) so they only work in one direction. 
Incandescent bulbs will work either way.The problem is that the bulb holders 
aren't marked for polarity and you can't really test until you reinstall the 
cluster since the bulbs are on the rear and the cluster needs to be mostly 
installed to be plugged in.
So you put it in place, see if the bulbs come on, if one or both down you pull 
the cluster again and flip the lights to the opposite polarity.
On a 123 I like to pull the steering wheel, it makes pulling the cluster a 
breeze. Actually on a 201 I won't pull the cluster without pulling the steering 
wheel, its wicked tight with the steering wheel in the way. Remember to mark 
the steering wheel and shaft before you pull it so you can get it back on right 
and leave the bolt(201) or nut(123) in place until you loosen the steering 
wheel on the shaft so you don't hit yourself in the face with it. Not that I 
would have ever done that, nope, not me...

It can also be handy to have two sets of feeler gauges, so that you're
not constantly flipping the blades back and forth on one set for the

1) LEDs are polarized.
2) Incandescent bulbs are not.
3) the car runs on DC.

So, you can put a cheap symmetrical incandescent-replacement LED bulb
into a socket in a car two ways.  Only one of them will work.

Re: [MBZ] Memphis

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Maybe so, but he was presenting himself as an expert, when in reality he is a 
beginner DIY type.  I guess he is trying to do this as a business but not sure.

Re: [MBZ] Memphis

[Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes]

He's not the guy selling hood stacks and reposting information to drive
traffic to his site, thats someone else.  I think Alex has actually come a
long way and seems to be really doing his homework on these cars.  Hes
certainly making an effort.  If he's not far from you, he might be a good
choice to do all the basic sorting compared to someone who has never laid
hands on these at a local garage.

Yeah.  I think that's the guy that tows a trailer behind a TD and goes 
around the country collecting parts and knackered cars.  He would 
probably never leave Nowata OK.  Self-taught expert but he appears to 
have a following, the new Pierre.

Buy the OE valve cover seal. Anything else is junk and won’t fit well. As long 
as they’re not damaged they will last many years. Also be sure you have the 
copper washers for the hold down bolts, too.

I've never done them on a 240D. For the OM617, I bought a pair of cheap
wrenches and bent them like the "special" ones. Definitely helpful.  But
yes it's not a bad DIY job, though I'd suggest gloves as you'll get some
black oil on your hands. Also replace the gasket on the valve
cover. It's a good idea regardless, but especially if it's old it won't
seal up well again.

Re: [MBZ] Initial thoughts of 240D was Re: Instrument cluster Fuse?

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

The "trick" is that you adjust valves in the order that they come up to the
proper position as the camshaft is rotated, and you do NOT go in sequential
order of one cylinder to the next.  I mark a piece of scratch paper with "E
\ I" repeated once for each cylinder (meaning Exhaust and Intake) and as
each valve comes up  (lobe points to the oiler tube) you adjust that valve
and mark it off on the paper.

For instances, let's say #1 exhaust valve is fully closed, camshaft lobe
pointing to the oil tube, so you adjust that valve and mark it off on your
paper.  Watch the camshaft as you rotate the engine clockwise, and #3
Intake valve comes up next.  Adjust that, mark off the paper, and
continue.  You should be able to adjust each valve in less than one
complete rotation of the camshaft.  You need the paper chart so you can
keep track of what you've done and not miss any.

DON"T FORGET to check the timing chain stretch while you have the valve
cover off!  The attached document says it is for newer engines, but the
same principle applies to the OM61x engines.  I like to lay a straight edge
across the camshaft bearing caps, lined up over the marks so that it makes
it very easy to line up to the mark on the camshaft gear.

Re: [MBZ] Tire pressure sensors

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

The aftermarket sensors come in two flavors, car-specific and 
programmable.
The programmable ones are more expensive, and you need a $100 gizmo to 
set them up, but AFAIK they fit everything.


My local Farm Bureau sells some brand I never heard of, programmable, 
for $55. That way they only have to carry one sensor. I ordered 315MHZ 
GM sensors by Schrader for my mom's Malibu, cost me $23 at Rock Auto.
USPS held them hostage in Rochester NY for 3 days, but they're finally 
being delivered today, a week after I ordered them. My ML350 parts were 
shipped Fedex Ground and I had them Thursday.


On 2021-01-24 22:50, Allan Streib via Mercedes wrote:

Anyone know if the tire pressure sensors/senders in the wheels are
standard across manufacturers? My tire shop has a little poster about
replacing them, and the ones on my Volvo are dead, leading to annoying
warnings on the dashboard message display. So I was wondering if the
ones the shop sells might actually work.
