OK Don.
Y'know, when I read about using corn for fuel, I laughed my ass off!
And would bet that the Iowa corn farmers did too!
Another lobbyist victory.
Fred the sceptic.

[MBZ] Mercedes 2011 C300 4Matic Engine Cover Question

2022-03-12 Thread Robert Koziak via Mercedes
 Hi All,
 I recently did some maintenance work on my daughter's Mercedes C300 4Matic and 
somehow never replaced the engine cover.  It's a mystery where it is??   
 I am getting ready to order a Genuine Mercedes OEM Engine Cover 
(MB#2720101067) for $80 but can't find the part number for the two silver 
clips.  The clips attached to the cover and secure it to the top front of the 
engine.  The best price I found was on Amazon and the clips are probably not 
included.
Can anyone help me out with a part number or schematic?

Thanks in advance!

Re: [MBZ] Auto Parts Idiots

2022-03-12 Thread dan penoff.com via Mercedes
Autozone is the repository for people who are wasting good air we could be 
breathing around here. There is one about five minutes from my house, as close 
as the local Harbor Freight. I won’t set foot in it.

The one Advance I go to (and the ONLY) one I have gone to) used to have some 
pretty savvy folks behind the counter. Out of the three I knew that had their 
acts together, I think only one of them is still there. To give you an idea of 
frequency, I looked over my receipts from 2021 and I went there three times, 
total. Two of those were to get batteries. So that gives you an idea of how 
often I patronize them. The main reason for going to this location is that it’s 
a former CVS that they took over, and in doing so, they made it a 
“mini-warehouse” where they stock a lot more stuff so the nearby stores can 
draw from them rather that having to get stuff from the warehouse in Lakeland, 
a good 45 minutes away. I think that’s likely why there were some relatively 
intelligent people there, as I suspect some of the local shops that used them 
went there, too.

There’s a NAPA over in Brandon about 20 minutes away, and the NAPA warehouse is 
about ten minutes from there, so if I was really, really desperate for 
something I’m sure I could use them. For the most part I stick to online 
purchasing or getting it from my local dealer.

I have routinely went to those joints for Toyota parts for SILs 4runner and 
some stuff for my pickup unless it’s Cummins related…then it’s Gino’s Garage. 
Anything MB was 99% obtained online. Jabba, Rusty, among others. I have been 
getting brave and utilizing the Large Wimmen for many automotive things lately, 
having healed from of spate of incorrect parts from them.

I was sad when my NAPA closed down because I had come to adore those tweakers.

Re: [MBZ] Auto Parts Idiots

Advance is the same here. Brain dead workers. Autozone only slightly better but 
depends who is working that day.

NAPA is pretty good. Smart counter people who don't look like meth addicts. A 
little more expensive for most things but I typically shop there anyway. I note 
that most of the indy shops around here get their parts from NAPA also.

Re: [MBZ] Auto Parts Idiots

2022-03-12 Thread Curt Raymond via Mercedes
The NAPA by our place in Maine has a bunch of mangy looking dudes and one young 
(like mid-20s) woman. She is CLEARLY the brains of the operation and somehow 
manages to keep an eye on all the mangy dudes while still helping twice as many 
customers as the dudes do. Several times I've seen her pause a transaction 
"Pardon me for a second" and go to one of the dudes, pull a part out of his 
hand, go get a different part, put it back in the guy's hand "That's the one 
you want" and go pick up her transaction where she left off. She's amazing...

Chain autoparts stores are the final haven for people to stupid to work at the 
grocery store.

I consider Advance to have the absolute dumbest clerks. Autozone is a minor 
step up but the one nearest me has pretty well hit bottom.

I'll never forgive Advance for buying Car Quest. My local Car Quest was great, 
it got turned into an Advance, they ran out anybody with a brain and it closed 
within a couple months.

We've still got a local "Federated Auto Parts" which is more expensive than the 
chains but has guys that actually know a thing or two.
