[MBZ] Today's S420 Fun

In an effort to address the remaining items on my list for the 94 S420, I started in this morning around 8:30. First thing was to add a couple of resistors to the coolant temperature sensor for the auxiliary fans. On the 95 and earlier W140 cars, there is a sensor on the top front of the M119

Re: [MBZ] Today's S420 Fun

Intriguing! I hadn't considered such a modification for my '87 wagon, I was focusing on finding a temperature switch with lower set-points. I did find one that is lower, I think it drops the aux fan engagement temperature to 110 Celsius, but if I can bring that even lower with your idea, I

For what? I will say that when I drained it I didn’t get any crud out of it. I guess that’s good. Dan > On Sep 7, 2015, at 11:57 AM, Rich Thomas via Mercedes > wrote: > > You can reuse that > > --R > ___ http://www.okiebenz.com

Impressive Fred, nevertheless. Maybe you can recite Shakespeare at the ChowdahQ. Could be a new feature. On Sep 6, 2015 11:19 PM, "Fred Moir via Mercedes" wrote: > Mea Culpa.I read Henry V when I was 17 and my memory ain't what it > was.Thank you for the correction. > >

I don't see how a similar modification can be done for my car. Perhaps I could re-purpose the antenna switch to provide manual control of the aux fan... -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On September 7, 2015 12:00:13 PM EDT, Max Dillon wrote: >Intriguing! I

I guess I would be. All it does is raise the temperature at the base of the seedling flats to about 80 degrees. On Sep 8, 2015 12:12 AM, "OK Don via Mercedes" wrote: > Plug one into a Kill-a-watt and measure the current it uses. I think you'll > be surprised. > > On Mon,

There is no heat requirement. I use low wattage (?) seedling heat pads that draw almost no current. Typically these: http://www.amazon.com/Hydrofarm-MT10006--19-1-2-Inch-Seedling/dp/B0001WV010/ref=sr_1_1/187-6656968-8374561?ie=UTF8=1441681761=8-1=seed+heat+pad On Sun, Sep 6, 2015 at 10:18 PM,

I would start earlier if it wasn't for everyone else being asleep and it waking them up. Got the floor jack rebuilt. Replaced the seal on the ram from my HF $8 box of O rings. Nice. The rapid rise feature still doesn't work. Not sure why, but there's a tool forum that has a section on floor
