Re: [MBZ] OT my little project

The time we did the head gasket on my 240D we had a big old pile of fasteners, I was stunned when we got them all back in the car with none left over... Curt Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Mon, Oct 9, 2017 at 5:20 PM, Meade Dillon via Mercedes wrote: Fred,

Re: [MBZ] OT my little project

Way to go Max!  It's always nice to not find extra parts left afterwards.  Now look for any unfilled holes left over.  (I ended up with a missing fastener used as 1 of the 4 small bolts holding the cruise control mechanism against the manifold.) Also, don't forget to make yourself a note to

Re: [MBZ] OT my little project

Fred, Thank you for the compliment, I am quite happy about finding a home for every nut, screw, and bolt. Too many other times that has not been the case... Inifiniti did a pretty good job of making all this pretty simple to put back together. I've got to do a 124 dash next in order to replace

Re: [MBZ] OT my little project

Just had a little false alarm scare. My cheapo chinee halogen leak detector started alarming inside the evaporator box. I'd put a few ounces of refrigerant in the system and then pressurized to 150 psi with nitrogen, started checking all my connections. My heart sank, I started mentally

Yes, that is the order in this car. Blower, evaporator, then heater core or not. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On October 1, 2017 8:05:09 AM EDT, Mitch Haley via Mercedes wrote: > >Doesn't the heater core usually come after the evap in the HVAC

Most systems won’t let you run in recirculation mode for more than a fixed period of time. That’s probably part of the reasoning behind it. -D > On Sep 24, 2017, at 11:58 AM, MG via Mercedes wrote: > > I try to run the AC with outside air as much as possible so that

Re: [MBZ] OT my little project

I try to run the AC with outside air as much as possible so that the condensed humidity can wash the garbage off the evaporator. I don't know if it's that humid up there but it might help if wife tends to run it closed system most of the time. MG Max Dillon via Mercedes wrote: After I sent

After I sent that picture, I removed the bottom half of the air box for the AC evaporator, found leaves and slime and mold. The evaporator looks awful, covered with slime. This is probably the heart of the problem. This car does a terrible job at filtering the fresh air, to much dirt and
