Re: [MBZ] 400E
I found a whole series of videos by a guy who basically rebuilt everything on and around the engine so I’m going to dig into those things. Dan has provided some good insights and linked me to some good forum posts on the issues. I ordered a new throttle cable which is kinda key as the one on it now is broken at the engine end. The car runs poorly, just won’t idle and dies. So at least the engine itself is not buggered, it’s wiring, intake hoses, and the ETA. Maybe $1k worth of parts and ETA rebuild.

Re: [MBZ] OT: An Odd One
I have a co-worker who has a 2012 Altima. He bought is as the second owner, and got an extended warranty on it. Maintains it by the book because he's not a car guy but understands the importance of maintenance. They just replaced the CVT in the car a couple weeks ago under warranty. I’ll let him know about this, thanks! -D > On Oct 20, 2022, at 3:59 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > wrote: > > You need to CHANGE the FLUID. > > Nissan will tell you it will last 10 years and they sort of brush it off in > the owner's manual. > > Change it every 30K miles and use the correct Nissan CVT fluid. > > > On Thu, Oct 20, 2022, at 14:49, dan penoff.com via Mercedes wrote: >> That’s pretty cool.

Re: [MBZ] OT: An Odd One
You need to CHANGE the FLUID. Nissan will tell you it will last 10 years and they sort of brush it off in the owner's manual. Change it every 30K miles and use the correct Nissan CVT fluid.

Re: [MBZ] 400E
I looked at a lot of the information he has one the car, and the PO has totally wrong wires on it, which will really screw things up, as well as an ETA that’s very possibly the incorrect one. These two things alone, combined with the fact that the car has been sitting can easily cause the isle issue. More likely than not, the ETA needs to be rebuilt. This can’t be determined until everything is set to spec in the throttle system first. EZLs aren’t common failures, and when they are it’s often a binary failure as in there’s either spark or there’s not. I’m betting the wiring insulation inside the harness jacket of the ETA has turned to dust, very common by now. Rarely diagnosed because people don’t usually split the jacket open and look. -D > On Oct 20, 2022, at 3:48 PM, Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes > wrote: > > It is just that half the coils may decide not to fire, but the onboard > diagnostics, such as they are, will spit out some code that doesnt tell you > anything about that.

Re: [MBZ] 400E
It is just that half the coils may decide not to fire, but the onboard diagnostics, such as they are, will spit out some code that doesnt tell you anything about that. Or anything else. Throttle body and wiring harnesses are kind of the minimum to start. Then ezl modules and the rest of the electronic boxes up front. And that weird ignition module inside the front fender. Cool car for sure but not worth the headache imho as a driver.

[MBZ] Selling multiple cars for a friend. Her husband passed away 1985 Mercedes Benz 300 Diesel - $1, 234 (Pittsboro)
Now she can finally get rid of all that sh*t he collected! Selling multiple cars for a friend. Her husband passed away and she wants to get rid of the cars he collected. Many of them are german, many are diesel and/or manual too. Most of them won't start because they don't have a battery installed and because of that the mileage is unknown for some of them. We don't know much about these cars so what you see is what you get. Please don't ask too many questions about them because we probably don't have the answer. We have the keys for the cars, they all have clean titles and some of them will come with some service/parts documents. Don't hesitate to contact me to make an offer and/or to set up an appointment.
