Re: [MBZ] W123 fenders available via CA Classic Center
It is kinda slow. We've sold about $1,600 in stuff the past month. But,
considering that it's not ours and we get 50% and it doesn't take too long,
it's worth it. If we were buying and reselling, it would not even be close to
worthwhile.

I was looking at your other items,
and while they are probably a good price, the way things are
now, and the way ebay sucks, you cant hardly give that stuff
away. In fact, I have not listed a single thing on
ebay all year. I just have not had time to do anything
with cars at all, just have not felt like it. Maybe I
should get rid of half my fleet.

Re: [MBZ] cash for clunkers recycling
Interestingly, because of the 25 year old clause, my rusting-to-pieces W115
240D is not a clunker, but my very nice '85 300SD is a clunker...although maybe
not because of better than 18 mpg fuel economy...unless the EPA says different.

An article in the local paper today
said that the engines had to be trashed, but the rest of the
cars could be recycled. But it was an AP article, so
take it for what it is worth. I wonder how many Benzes
of certain ages might be showing up for trade-ins?
Scrap value for a chassis with trashed engine? Can't be more
than a couple hundred these days? That might free up
some nice parts. You on that Kaleb?

[MBZ] NOS parts motherlode
SO, I'm friends with the owner of the local Indy shop. He just moved from one part of KC to another, after 26 years in the same location. He asked me if I'd like to help him sell his old stock. SURE! So I started putting some stuff up on Ebay this weekend. If you're interested, here is the auction number of one item: 200357443812 from there, you can click to see my other auctions. There are THOUSANDS of parts to sell, so if you're looking for something, let me know (part number is nice, but I'll try to find it for you if you don't know). I'll let you know if I have the part. I am free to set the price, as long as it's reasonable. The owner wants the parts OUT of the warehouse, so I can pretty much beat any other price. Some rare things in there (tail lights for 600 limo) to brand new 123 fenders. Most stuff is genuine MB, but some is aftermarket.

[MBZ] a question about EPC use...HELP!
If I have a part number, will the EPC tell me what US models (with year) that the part goes into? If so, how do you do that? I've been able to use the 'part search without vehicle data' to take a part number and then find the engine number (if an engine part), the trans number (if a trans part) and the chassis number (six digit, if not an engine part or a trans part). That's better than nothing as I can then go here: http://www.egermanparts.com/mercedes-chassis_90-92.html and figure out the model designation and year, BUT I want to eliminate having to go to that chart if the EPC will tell me that info. And, when looking up a non-engine, non-trans part number, it does give the model designation of the chassis the part belongs to, but not the year, so I still have to go to the chart. Can anyone help me out here? THANKS!

Re: [MBZ] 2 things -- 300SD
There are two trans fluid cooler lines that go forward to the trans fluid cooler at the bottom of the radiator. I have seen them leak before...make sure the one on the left is not rubbing on the oil drain back tube. Also, if the trans is over filled, it might come out the trans vent. The 180 degree air hose should not have crud in it...maybe too much blowby...do you have the MEYLE upgraded breather hose? If not, that will probably help.

Is there a tranny cooler? It looks like some lines come forward from the tranny that are covered with fluid. I have not had the car up on ramps yet (I know, I know), just wondered if anyone might have some thoughts on what a regular leak might spring from. Tranny shifts fine, so I think it is OK functionally. Yesterday I replaced the air cleaner mounting bracket (and the broken one looked like a replacement as well, with the Benz sticker on it explaining it was Qualitat), took off the 180deg turbo inlet bend. The whole thing was all crapped up with dirty oily stuff, and the turbo inlet seemed to have some oily gunk in it too, and some on the vanes. It spins fine, but I was wondering if spraying something up in there to clean it would be a good idea. Maybe some EFI intake cleaner or carb cleaner a little bit at a time? I don't want to get the engine running away or anything. I would presume it would be best to do that with the engine running? Or would I do it engine off, and just vacuum or wipe out whatever crap runs off? Oh, and I just glued up the wood piece on the front of the ashtray to the ashtray with some Gorilla Glue, it had been stuck on there with what looked like black roofing tar. I cleaned all that off with some turpentine, and sanded it all lightly, I'll give it a couple hours to set up. 90F today, that should go quick.

Re: [MBZ] 2 things -- 300SD
https://mercedessource.com/files/imagefield/product/diebreather.jpg That's a pic of the updated breather hose - 1 piece of rubber that is flat in the center and has little baffles inside that retard the flow of blowby oil. You probably have the old plastic pipe version and as the engine ages, you are getting a little more blowby and it is getting to the turbo.

I don't know how I would tell about MEYLE breather hose, but yeah, I'm guessing the oil is coming from the valve cover into the little can thing in the air cleaner, and migrating from there. --R Christopher McCann wrote: There are two trans fluid cooler lines that go forward to the trans fluid cooler at the bottom of the radiator. I have seen them leak before...make sure the one on the left is not rubbing on the oil drain back tube. Also, if the trans is over filled, it might come out the trans vent. The 180 degree air hose should not have crud in it...maybe too much blowby...do you have the MEYLE upgraded breather hose? If not, that will probably help.

Is there a tranny cooler? It looks like some lines come forward from the tranny that are covered with fluid. I have not had the car up on ramps yet (I know, I know), just wondered if anyone might have some thoughts on what a regular leak might spring from. Tranny shifts fine, so I think it is OK functionally. Yesterday I replaced the air cleaner mounting bracket (and the broken one looked like a replacement as well, with the Benz sticker on it explaining it was Qualitat), took off the 180deg turbo inlet bend. The whole thing was all crapped up with dirty oily stuff, and the turbo inlet seemed to have some oily gunk in it too, and some on the vanes. It spins fine, but I was wondering if spraying something up in there to clean it would be a good idea. Maybe some EFI intake cleaner or carb cleaner a little bit at a time? I don't want to get the engine running away or anything. I would presume it would be best to do that with the engine running? Or would I do it engine off, and just vacuum or wipe out whatever crap runs off? Oh, and I just glued up the wood piece on the front of the ashtray to the ashtray with some Gorilla Glue, it had been stuck on there with what looked like black roofing tar. I cleaned all that off with some turpentine, and sanded it all lightly, I'll give it a couple hours to set up. 90F today, that should go quick.

After seeing prices around the US a set runs around $300 or more. They must have plenty of these in UK - as long as shipping is acceptable maybe I can get a set and save some $$s.

Can't quite tell if the connection is leaking, or if the oil is seeping through the rubber hoses and running down onto the connector. There is oil on the hoses too.

Re: [MBZ] OM617 leaking oil from cooler lines
Yes, you have the engine shock...two, I think. Now there is the shock and the shock mount. Shock is about $35 and the shock mount is like $75...check buymbparts. If you need new engine mounts, you very well may need new shock mounts too...especially if they got oil on them and turned to rubbery-jello. I think there is a shock mount rebuild kit which is better than buying a new shock mount. Personally, I would rebuild the shock mounts and replace the shocks even if they are still good. They do go bad and you will be right there to do the work easily.

It was designed to be run through the engine straight (disconnecting the hoses and running on JUST DP with the supply and return hoses in the DP bottle). If the engine starts instantly sometimes and take several turns sometimes, then fuel is slow getting to the engine properly. That could be the injection pump misbehaving (not likely, but possible) or an injector or two that are less then optimal. It COULD be several other things too, but a really clean engine running on synthetic oil seldom behaves this way except from a fuel problem. If you use conventional oil, then I'd recommend that you change to synthetic and see if that makes a difference especially in how fast the engine cranks over and starts. This will take many thousands of miles for all the benefits to max out, but it's improved every one of my engines more then ANY other thing I've ever done to them (other the replacing BROKEN parts or connecting things that were disconnected or plugged up). There is ONE final CHEAP trick I use when nothing else seems to work (and it DOES work more the 50% of the time) and I've run out of inexpensive ideas. Put a qt of 10W30 conventional motor oil in the fuel tank and drive the car (hard at least a little of the time). The engine should seem quite smooth, but ever slightly lower in power with the oil in the fuel. When the tank is nearly empty refill with just #2 and see if the engine doesn't have more power and is smoother then before and usually starts faster?

Not sure - and that would be important. I have a guy asking me about a rear door for an 89 300SE and I don't have one, but the pick n pull here has quite a few 126's - SD's and SELs.

Re: [MBZ] PFM - fountain pens
What's the story with iridium tips on the nibs? Montblanc claims to use iridium points, then I did some research and I read that lots of pens claim iridium nibs but very very few really use iridium. I asked Montblanc customer service if they use real iridium and I never got a response. What is so special about iridium and why do some companies claim to use it when they don't...and why don't they if it is so great. I mean it can't be s expensive that you couldn't put a gram of it in a $600 pen.

You can find fountain pens in the calligraphy section of most hobby shops that write different widths depending on the direction you are drawing the pin. My issue with these is that they force you to hold the pen at a very specific angle to the paper. You can also find supplies in the same section, including some cartridges. Use the pens you have and I believe you'll find that the writing style you are looking for will appear as the nib wears down. The nib starts rounded, leaving very narrow lines on the paper. As the nib wears, the lines drawn from side to side start to lengthen.

I'd really like to get it restored, and the nib gives a really classic 40's look to the writing. I don't know enough about them to shop for what I would really like, but I'd like to find a new pen with a nib that is less rigid, that allowed for different thickness on the up and down strokes. As much as I like my pens, the nibs are too rigid, and the pen doesn't respond at all to different pressures applied to it, if that makes sense?

Re: [MBZ] ADVICE NEEDED ASAP...KALEB!???!! ANYONE?!?!?!?
Thanks for the input. This seemed to be a no brainer, but I hesitate to get involved with gassers...I don't know what I'm doing...but it seems this guy doesn't either. Yeah, kind of ballsy to ask $1,650 for a car that I paid $350 for just 3 weeks ago...strange thing is that the guy asked me how much I have into it and I told him about $500 - which is pretty much true (more like $400). He test drove it and I was totally honest about everything...well, you saw the ad, I lay it all out. Now, if I get the 300E and sell it for a decent profit, I will have some $ to invest in my transmission project...transmission jack, some special tools, lifetime supply of trans Assemblee Goo, etc. Will let the list know if I trade for the 300E...if I do, I'll have a bunch of troubleshooting questions.

Thanks all for your quick responses. The guy called me back just before I left the house and decided he wanted to think about the trade that he proposed earlier in the day.

To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Date: Sunday, January 25, 2009, 7:34 PM Typically this is a vacuum leak or a bad O2 sensor that responds differently at high temperature than at low (relatively, of course). One thing that I've found to be a real problem most people don't know about is the o-ring seal on the injector holder, the plastic insert into the manifold. They get rock hard and shrink just like all the other MB rubber bits, and not everyone knows they are there. I discovered this when I started started replacing the injector seals in the TE -- two of the holders pulled out instead of the injectors pulling out of the holder! Ran much much better with all the seals and boots fixed. This includes vacuum servos too, by the way. Dead servos in the ACC or bad connectors on the hard lines can give you idle problems.

The duty cycle is adjusted by getting a reading a 2500prm and then comparing this to the one at idle, it should be within 10. Just setting to 50 at idle may well do damage because the motor could be running lean at operating revs. MB do not give a specific figure to set the duty cycle at because as the system ages it will change, when everything was new the duty cycle may well have been 50 at idle and 50 at 2500rpm but as an example, mine is at about 35. I may have issues somewhere but that is where I could get the two readings to be within 10% of each other. Hendrik Peter Frederick wrote: Do the normal diagnosis: Verify that the fuel pump runs and the cold start valve works (you will have trouble starting cold without out, will require lots of cranking). Check for and repair vacuum leaks, most important are idle control valve hoses and boot between throttle body and air flow meter horn. Make sure someone didn't fix the vacuum leaks by messing with the idle mixture -- set it to 50% at idle warm -- if it's too lean, it will never start cold. Clean the air flow meter horn venturi -- a bunch of crud in there (from the leaking boot) will cause it to stick cold, and hence no fuel and no start. Verify that the EHA is getting correct current - a bad wire will result in no cold enrichement and hard starts.

Re: [MBZ] transmission repair factory PDF
Tony, Thanks for your thoughtful e-mail. It is a major boost of confidence to know that this can be done DIY. I'm putting a copy of your e-mail with the rebuild manual so I remember your suggestions and caveats. In addition to the factory manual and the ATSG (Automatic Transmission Service Group) manual, I received today a copy of Mercedes 722.3/722.4 by Greg Catanzaro. It is really excellent and in easy to read language. BTW, did you replace your brake bands? I haven't had the chance to research this yet, but I have already seen conflicting advice of 1) ALWAYS replace the bands 2) Only replace if worn out as the replacement bands are nowhere near as good as the originals. Thanks!

There is a very nice spring compressor that you can buy which looks really handy. Yes, the 722.4 and .3 are very similar. They are covered in the same ASTG rebuild manual that I bought... http://www.atsg.biz/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi?search=actioncategory=EIMPkeywords=allpricecode=passsubnum= So, you obviously rebuilt a 722.4 - did you have any trans rebuilding experience before you did it? Did you use a manual to guide you through? If so, which one? It's amazing that the clutch disks last as long as they do. Now that I have a bit of a clue how the automatic trans works, I've changed my view on them a bit. They don't really break at 200,000 miles the wear pieces just wear out. Of course, the hard parts can break, but that is not usually the case, it seems. Chris- This was my first. I'd gone through the service literature a few times and found it most helpful. Other than that it was basic follow the directions, document anything special, bag parts/assemblies from like areas and document where those were (writing notes in the directions)- pretty basic stuff. Get lots of little containers to sequester parts. Use a digital camera to take lots of pictures through the teardown. In my case I use the top of a folding table covered with three layers of plastic. My only wish is that the table had a lip to contain the fluid you WILL lose- no matter what you do you'll still have ~ a half quart inside the box. You'll need lots of rags, preferably lint-free ones. I got away with paper towels, but cleaned the inside of the case with rags and pieces with rags (not paper towels) on reassembly. I found and used a tub of transmission assembly lube, which being quite viscous was quite useful in certain areas where o-rings etc might have wanted to move about a bit. Also VERY useful when mating the valve body back into the box. Other than dropping the whole valve body (keep track of which bolts go where) I didn't do any further disassembly; figured 1) it didn't have issues before; 2) there are a whole MESS of parts, balls, pins, springs etc to cause grief given half a chance and 3) if there was a problem, I can quite easily get the body back out. I deliberately did the transmission on a weekend the family was out of town for a weekend so I could focus, concntrate and take my time. But overall it was straightforward. If you've tackled something like ball joints where you need to assemble plumbing fittings to press in the joint, you've got a good head start on the kinds of things you'll need to get creative on. While I'd always love an excuse for more tools, most of the special tools for the transmission would not be terribly useful otherwise. I really was amazed at how little wear there was. Even on the B3 brake assembly, at least two of the friction discs still had visible imprinted ink on them. Only two were significantly worn. After everything is back in you'll need to dial in the modulator; there is a MB gauge set for this but you can also use a banjo bolt used on some M103 thermostat housings as a purge fitting; this fitting, some 1/4 PVC (nprmally rated to 50 PSI, right around where you need to be) and an accurate gauge will help you dial in the pressures.

Between this video and another I ordered and the manuals - factory and ATSG and another one - I think learning this is not impossible...even if I have to attempt it several times. Looked on CL in KC today for a trans tech advertising on the side - I found one that looks good. I am going to call him and see if he'd take a couple days to walk me through this...basically give me and Charlie a 722.3 tranny rebuild course over a couple days. It's gonna cost (unless he wants to swap for the $350 SD), but it will be worth it. Need to post some pics of that. Need to rearrange my garage into trans shop mode too. No room right now. BTW, I am looking for a used transmission table/transmission workbench. Search ebay if you don't know what that is. If anyone has one for sale or sees one for sale, let me know.

Re: [MBZ] transmission repair factory PDF
I'm holding off on the tools till I figure out exactly what I need. Baum tools has a Mercedes Transmission tools section in their catalog. Seems like most are for 722.6+ transmissions. Then there are some simple tools that are useful with any trans (various pics, etc). Will have my Bavarian friend Paul price all the MB trans tools I need. Might be cheaper to buy them in Germany and ship them here than buy them from an importer...should probably check ebay.de for Getriebe Werkzeug Mercedes - transmission tool Mercedes. Need to get tranny lube gel too - parts installation lubricant. Chris --- On Fri, 1/16/09, Kaleb C. Striplin ka...@striplin.net wrote: From: Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] transmission repair factory PDF
I've got almost all that already. There is a very nice spring compressor that you can buy which looks really handy. Yes, the 722.4 and .3 are very similar. They are covered in the same ASTG rebuild manual that I bought... http://www.atsg.biz/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi?search=actioncategory=EIMPkeywords=allpricecode=passsubnum= So, you obviously rebuilt a 722.4 - did you have any trans rebuilding experience before you did it? Did you use a manual to guide you through? If so, which one? It's amazing that the clutch disks last as long as they do. Now that I have a bit of a clue how the automatic trans works, I've changed my view on them a bit. They don't really break at 200,000 miles the wear pieces just wear out. Of course, the hard parts can break, but that is not usually the case, it seems.

Already had that, thanks to my Dad who used to use it on olde Beetle rear hubs. Was the first time I'd used that, though! You will need an assortment of internal/external ring pliers and an assortment of pics (think dental instruments). Used some pipe fittings to compress the ~ 16 springs that are part of the front pump. While this was all on a 722.4xx box I don't think the .3xx is much different, other than in how the governor locking mechanism works- a rotating paw in the .3xx, an internal clip on the .4xx There are special tools to establish proper gaps in each of the clutch packs. The new friction discs are a set thickness but you set the exact gap by replacing the steels- these are available in variable thicknesses. On mine the B3 discs (reverse) were the most worn. In that set there was perceptable wear in the steels- of the total increase in gap of the whole set about 15% was due to wear of the steels. But since there was no excessive discoloration of the steel I reused them. My thought was that OK this time the tranny may only go another 200k instead of the 300k it went the first time. And there was a differance- reverse took about a half second to engage instead of being nearly instantaneous. But given that it USED to take 3-5 seconds I was OK with that!

Now I can see why it's not enough to move the car back on the trailer till the trailer doesn't put much weight on the tongue...that shifts too much mass to the rear causing swerving and unsteadiness. Best is to move 50% of the mass forward, if not more, and use the weight distribution hitch to distribute the weight of the car back to the trailer. Do I have that right?

Re: [MBZ] help choosing TRAILER hitch and weight distribution hitch
I don't plan on having too many. I think I have 9 right now and it hasn't been a problem. I have three lots and a privacy fence. I doubt I will have more than 15 at any time. The plan is: Charlie and I learn how to rebuild transmissions, buy decent MBs with shot trannys, remove rebuild replace tranny, sell car. So its not that I plan to have a lot of cars, but the cars I buy will need a trailer. So far, I've had to pay for tows. I've found a guy that will tow for me in the metro area for $50, which is pretty good, but then I can't go after cars that are outside the city. Remember that St. Louis is as far from me as KC from you. Chris --- On Thu, 1/15/09, Kaleb C. Striplin ka...@striplin.net wrote: From: Kaleb C.

Duh, alsmost forgot, Charlie is moving about 7 blocks away, so cars can go to his place AND we have access to a huge 2 story concrete building one block from his new house.

No I don't - and you live outside of town and I'm in the city...but if you add the concrete dealership and Charlie's place, we have a ton of room. But I really don't want as many cars as you have, I just need to be able to go after a few here and there that have shot trannys...of course I have to learn how to rebuild the 722.3 first.

Re: [MBZ] TRAILER block heater for Chris
OK guys, I've revised my criteria. No home made, must have title (usually the home made ones are the ones w/o title), must have ramps and be very beefy...and no damage (I've seen several damaged trailers cheap...don't want a trailer that swerves all over). What do y'all suggest as a minimum length? I would think that an SDL/SEL would be the longest thing hauled. If there is no winch, where do you mount one? A lot of the winches seem to be 2,000 lb...a W126 is heavier than that and a 116 300SD is probably even heavier...will a 3,000 lb. winch do the job? Chris --- On Wed, 1/14/09, Kaleb C.
