Clay,

I think you’re talking about the guys in Oregon who strip older cars, like 
W123s. This is a dealer that’s selling online using the Mercedes Rev Parts web 
front end.

Re: [MBZ] Bosch Wiper Blade Refills?

[Clay via Mercedes]

I had a devil of a time sourcing refills for the R107.  Ended up yanking the 
rubber blade out of complete sets.  For the W126, the FLAPS around me did not 
carry refills that fit.  Neither did  they have most rear wiper sizes for 
anything.  I was happy enough just grabbing the normal wiper armature and 
struggling to make them fit.  I forget which brand had the ones that actually 
fit and locked to the arms securely.  W140 required purchase from dealer for 
wipers at highway robbery prices.

Are the rubber wiper blade inserts still available for Bosch blades?  I

Re: [MBZ] OT reverse crank call - missed oportunity

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Exactly. But they have been known to show up in person if you dodge them. I 
worked for a guy who failed to pay his employee’s withholding taxes for some 
time, and regularly dodged the collection calls. One day (after I had left his 
employ) a GSA car rolls up, two IRS employees get out, walk in, tell everyone 
to leave after which they padlocked the doors and posted an order of attachment.

“Vishing” is the practice of calling someone and claiming to be someone you’re 
not to get money out of them, such as posing as an IRS agent and threatening 
the recipient with arrest if they don’t whip out their credit card and pay the 
“taxes owed”.

“Voice phishing”.

Buddy in the DIA also has something similar that they use when challenged, 
often when doing security clearance checks. The old “door to door” thing where 
they chat up my neighbors and ask them if you would trust me with the secrets 
of the country and if I am doing anything wild or bizarre. With a number of 
neighbors who are contractors at MacDill AFB with TS clearances, I get them 
every year or two when someone’s clearance needs to be renewed.

I check credentials and validate them every time. They’re usually quite 
gracious about it, too.

Um...this is the first I've heard of this. Apparently this directive was
issued in '04, and I retired in '08 after 32 years in DOJ and DHS.

>From what I see on the 'netz, the order is about consistency of
credentials; so to be able to confirm identity from looking at

I'm not sure how this could be done by phone.

When I was "on the job" I would sometimes ask for their boss's name, then
call the publicly available number and ask to speak to that person.

One time a manager asked me to help a female Interpol agent. My spidey
senses were tingling a little, so I told her I had never seen Interpol
creds and was curious. She was a phony!

 It was nice, maybe 6 cars, 10 or so people. We had burgers and dogs, I cooked 
up peppers, onions and mushrooms and some venison sausage. I even baked a 
raspberry pie in a Coleman stove. The pie came out really wet, it didn't really 
firm up until the next day. Maybe in September I'll try that again...

Re: [MBZ] More on the 722.9/04E500 TCM/CP

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

exchanged a coupla emails, they just do the reprogramming which I don't 
think is hard if you know what you're doing (which I don't yet though I 
have looked into it some).  I need to figure out if any version of the 
module will fit this car.  I chatted with and FCPEuro guy who said their 
new unit will fit a whole bunch of cars, and fits mine, so the new one 
seems to be either a "generic" version that supersedes various part 
numbers or it is kind of a universal unit, and the VGS1 2 3 might not 
matter much to the actual transmission.  I'll have to dig into it more 
and look to see what might be in some of the local knackers I could just 
pull one and see if it would work.  I can't find in the EPC what the 
actual part is in this car's trans, it doesn't seem to dig down that far

the one that supposedly fits my car.  I don't know if they are specific to the 
actual mechanicals, or just an upgrade to performance or shifting or something

A new unit is $850-900, these guys will reprogram for $250.  I *might* be able

Anyone have any insights on this?  (probably not as this is a "new" car!)

Re: [MBZ] OT reverse crank call - missed oportunity

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I just ask them for their HSPD-12 ID information.

U.S. Government employees, such as with the IRS or other agencies are provided 
an HSPD-12 upon employment for verification of their employment. On the HSPD-12 
is a number you can call to give the information on the HSPD-12 to and get a 
confirmation that the person is a real U.S. Government employee.

They typically don’t have any idea of what I’m talking about so they hang up.

Pretty sure you can do a chargeback after 30 days (though I've never
done one myself). It can often take more than 30 days to resolve (or
not) a purchase issue. There's probably some time limit though.

To dispute a completely incorrect/fradulent charge, yes that normally
needs to be done within the next billing cycle, or 30 days.

Re: [MBZ] Issue......Online Parts Vendor www.mercedesgenuineparts.com !

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Bob,

Glad you were able to work things out.

For reference, all of those pretty but consistent looking web sites you see out 
there for Mercedes parts are nothing more than a web “front end” that Mercedes 
offers to it’s dealers for online parts sales call “Revolution Parts”, often 
abbreviated as “RevParts”. Each dealer has to maintain the inventory offered on 
their respective instance as well as determining the pricing model to use as 
well. Because the domains they use for these sites don’t necessarily tie back 
to the dealer who is hosting it, it can be difficult to determine who is 
actually behind it.

Dan,
  Thanks for the information!  I did call Mercedes Benz of Beaverton Oregon and 
spoke to a parts manager who was very helpful and will resolve the issue.  
Apparently there are major issues with their website and it's management!  The 
website makes no mention of it's affiliation with Mercedes Benz of Beaverton 
Oregon?
I failed to mention I did contact Mercedes Benz of America customer support a 
few weeks ago and forwarded all information about the website.   They said they 
couldn't help because it was an independent seller.   The only advise they gave 
me was to order directly from Mercedes Benz dealers in the 
futureamazing!!!

Re: [MBZ] Issue......Online Parts Vendor www.mercedesgenuineparts.com !

That’s the OE front end (RevParts) for all dealers. This one just happens to 
belong to Mercedes-Benz of Beaverton, OR. I would call them directly and ask 
for the accounting department. 971.340.4589

I vaguely recall something about some parts vendor going out of 
business, not sure if it is that one or not

Hi All,
      Anyone purchase Mercedes parts from an online vendor 
www.mercedesgenuineparts.com?  I purchased a Genuine Mercedes belt tensioner 
and pulley for my 2004 Mercedes 320E on April 30th and they arrived on May 
13th.  I decided not to change the tensioner so I called the company and they 
said to send it back and they would refund the cost minus the shipping.
      I sent it back priority mail with delivery confirmation.  It was received 
on May 20th and I called to confirm that it was received and find out when I 
would be reimbursed.  The phone number listed on the website now goes directly 
to voicemail with no voice message and emails go unanswered.  I tried a few 
letters vis US Mail with no luck either.
After weeks of daily calls and emails I assumed the company went out of 
business and I was out the over $200.   It's frustrating so I wanted to warn 
others about this vendor. The website is active and you can still place 
orders???
     Any suggestions?
Vendor:   www.mercedesgenuineparts.com9275 S.W. Canyon RoadPortland OR,

Thanks,
