[MBZ] Benzing today
Did some more investigation of the 01CL600 and why it started showing faults for the new right cam position sensor I just put in and the 2 upstream O2 lambda sensors on right side zylinders 1-6. These are before the cattle attic conversers. I don’t think the zylinders are actually firing since these components aren’t reporting. This fault is recent, all appeared to be working when I drove it the other day. Unclear what’s going on. I’m thinking some sort of electrical issue but couldn’t see anything. Their wires seem to go directly to the ECU. There might be some sort of test procedure for them in the DAS so I need to hook that up and look that up. Bah. I think I determined the oil cooler is in fact leaking as is common on these engines. Bah. Huge job. . Bah. Max provided me an OVP relay for the 95E320 which one day refused to start. I swapped it in this afternoon and the car fired right up. YAY! Call that a success. I took out the battery to do the job (there is a bolt holding it up to the ECU housing that is hard to reach) then the tray as it was full of schmutz in there. There was enough crud to grow spuds 凜 down in there. No rust though. Not bad for a 27yo car. The plastic elbow fitting on top of the radiator is leaking where it goes into the radiator, there is a metal clip that holds it in. I’m thinking I should pry that off, see if there is an o-ring or something in there, or just slather it with JBW and see if that seals it up. I think it needs a head gasket too, common problem on these engines it seems. Bah. I have to order rear break pats for the 05E320 wagon and the 05ML500. And a new intake manifold for the 12GL450. I watched a vid today on replacing it, doesn’t look like too bad a job, just fiddly. Maybe 3hr work. Cheep plastic chit in the manifold commonly breaks. The sound system in the GL is really good. I bought a $16 Bluetooth dongle to plug into the MMI port in the glovebox (this is a weird system that is also used in BMW Audi and other marques) that my phone can talk to as AUX. The head unit actually talks via BT to my phone but only for calls. Won’t do music though for some unknown reason but phone will connect to both at the same time it seems. So now the phone will do both and the music podcasts etc sound really good but if a call comes in I can talk through the system too. The nav system mostly works given the vintage, or my phone will talk through it if I want the directions from thh by e phone nav apps. Roads don’t actually change that much so good enough. I kinda like it though it’s a bit weird. I’m going to get the 99E320 ready to sell. The battery was drained so it is charging. It’s been sitting awhile. Nice car though. Fun times with the vast fleet. --FT Sent from iFōn ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] Fakebook
You should try buying wheels! If you’re lucky people are smart enough to put the size, but rarely, if ever, the offset. Trying to get the offset from someone who barely knows what a wheel is can be trying at best. I’m trying to find a set of 18” staggered “sport” wheels for the CL600, and it’s to the point where I’m just about ready to toss in the towel and just buy a set on eBay from a seller who knows what they’ve got. -D > On Mar 16, 2023, at 9:13 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > I have a trailer for sale on Fakebook.
