Dunno.  I have the Klann compressor, which I have yet to use.
Group mailing list buy, quite some time ago now.

I work with a guy who has a regular “route” that he follows with local pawn 
shops in the Tampa area. He’s into musical instruments, and more like foot 
effects pedals for guitars. That said, he knows the used instrument market 
fairly well on places like eBay, so once in a while, he scores big and flips 
something. It’s a hobby for him.

Re: [MBZ] coil spring compressors

[Ronald Courcy via Mercedes]

Hi Jim,  yes I have done that on a w123,  the way you are describing.
The angle of removal and installation on the w124 does not lend it self to 
doing the replacement.  Pelican parts has a illustrated step by step for the 
replacement.  Short of removing the complete rear suspension it would be 
advisable to use a spring compressor.  Also less than a hour needed to replace 
a spring using a spring compressor.  There seems to be guite a few "knock off" 
spring
Compressors on the market. Are any of them decent or are they junk? Ron

I'm not sure about W124, but I replaced the rear springs in a W123 using
nothing more than a floor jack, jack stands and the weight of the car.

Front springs is an entirely different proposition.

[MBZ] My expensive HF air powered vacuum oil extractor crapped the bed?

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Yesterday while using it to such up oil and such from the valley of the 642, it 
sorted if seemed like it was intermittent not sucking. I did not think a whole 
lot about not it until it stopped sucking all together. I figured maybe 
something got sucked up and stuck in the hose so I disconnected it. No sucking 
directly out of the hole where the hose goes. I thought this was a pretty 
simple concept but what could be wrong? It’s got a deal that screws on the 
opposite of the air inlet that I assume generates the vacuum. Any ideas? I 
noticed these things are now $200 but im sure I didn’t pay that much for it.

Re: [MBZ] coil spring compressors

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

I had a kit I loaned out and it hasn’t returned. It was a clone of the Klann? I 
think, round disk plates that fit in the coil and a long screw deal that goes 
down the middle to engage the plate. Worked well on 126s and I think max might 
have done a 124 with it. Don’t know if it was branded or not, but it worked 
well. Avoid those external things from the auto parts store

[MBZ] Cooling System Fill/Drain Tool

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

Looking for recommendations for a cooling system fill/drain tool, one that uses 
a vacuum to drain and refill the system. Don’t need Snap-On price/quality, just 
something suitable for DIY that people have used and are happy with.

I’ve got several cars I need to do a cooling system flush on, so now is the 
time.

Thanks!

190kmi and looks fairly turdish whatever the problem is.  Might be 
throttle position sensor or something but it could probably all be 
sorted with DAS
