Classic symptoms of damaged diaphragm in the monovalve.

That's pretty heinous.  Could there have been galvanic action driven by the
botched wiring to the solenoid?

Re: [MBZ] 85 300D monovalve

[Michael Esh via Mercedes]

I wondered about the fluid as well.  I’ll have it tested tomorrow. It is the 
right color but I don’t remember if I have ever changed it in this car.  The 
odd thing is that I did not see this build up 2 weeks earlier when I had the 
part out to check for holes in the diaphragm.

Sounds like you need to clean and grease the battery terminals, maybe 
replace a cable if there is corrosion under the jacket.

My adventure was trying to figure out why the SDL hates me.

This has happened before. I got in after she had been sitting for a 
few weeks. Figured I should give her legs a stretch. I gave her a 
glow, then tried to light off. Everything went dead. No lights, no 
dash, nothing. All manner of key turns, and nothing. Drove the other 
w126. When I got back, I hoped everything had reset, but it had not. 
Plugged the charger in and set it on 50amp light off. Everything 
behaved, and she lit off.


Battery was not dead. A little low on power when hooked to the charger 
at 1amp. Five hours later, it is all topped up. Maybe I need to chase 
wires and see if there is corrosion.

Replaced what appeared to be the original factory shocks on the front 
of my 98 wagon tonight with a set of Bilsteins from FCP Euro. Best 
price and ordered them with free shipping and still got them in three 
days.


Took a short test drive and the ride is noticeably better. Looking 
forward to the commute tomorrow to really put it through its paces.


Got a new door check for the driver's door I'll put on the car 
Saturday. No more "clickety-click" when opening and closing the door.


Got my new 1911, too. I’m thinking about playing hooky tomorrow so I 
can go to the range and shoot it….I’m going to go look at an SKS 
tomorrow, too.

Cooper sulfate.  Corrosion from copper or brass.  Do you have good Go5 
in the radiator at the proper ratio?

I just replaced the damaged mono valve on the car. The one I just took 
out has a blue/green crusty substance all over the screen and any 
metal part. This is new in the last week. This stuff was not there a 
week ago. What would cause this? The only change was putting a valve 
in with poorly soldered solenoid. I pulled it apart last week and 
ruined the connections.
The latest symptoms are good heat at below 2000 RPM’s but then heat 
would cut out completely at any thing over 2000. Fan would stay on 
just heat out the vents.
I’ll test out the new monovave assembly I received from Andrew

I dislike v-8s and despise v-6 engines.  A v6 is completely 
unnecessary.   There is no reason for a v6 over a straight 6.  They only 
add complexity over a simpler, well proven design.

[MBZ] OT - lights for the shop/hangar

[OK Don via Mercedes]

I was looking for more and brighter light for the hangar - I'm tired of
straining to see what I'm working on, and my eyes aren't what they used to
be.
I ran across this on Amazon, and it seemed to be a lot of light per $. I
bought one to try - seemed too good to be true - and liked it so much that
I ordered ten more.

Re: [MBZ] Today's Fun - Cars & Guns

[clay monroe via Mercedes]

My adventure was trying to figure out why the SDL hates me.

This has happened before.  I got in after she had been sitting for a few weeks. 
 Figured  I should give her legs a stretch.  I gave her a glow, then tried to 
light off.  Everything went dead.  No lights, no dash, nothing.  All manner of 
key turns, and nothing.  Drove the other w126.  When I got back, I hoped 
everything had reset, but it had not.  Plugged the charger in and set it on 
50amp light off.  Everything behaved, and she lit off.

Battery was not dead.  A little low on power when hooked to the charger at 
1amp. Five hours later, it is all topped up.  Maybe I need to chase wires and 
see if there is corrosion.

[MBZ] 85 300D monovalve

[Michael Esh via Mercedes]

I just replaced the damaged mono valve on the car. The one I just took out has 
a blue/green crusty substance all over the screen and any metal part. This is 
new in the last week. This stuff was not there a week ago. What would cause 
this?  The only change was putting a valve in with poorly soldered solenoid. I 
pulled it apart last week and ruined the connections. 
The latest symptoms are good heat at below 2000 RPM’s but then heat would cut 
out completely at any thing over 2000. Fan would stay on just heat out the 
vents. 
I’ll test out the new monovave assembly I received from Andrew tomorrow 
morning.

Re: [MBZ] Facelift 210 wagon

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

Much the same as the W210.  There are a couple of things unique to them, like 
supercharger bearings and folding top microswitch boots, as with the yellow 
example, but they’re all minor.

Probably the worst thing with the R170 is the crappy plastic they used for the 
center consoles, in which the color fades in fairly short order.  Painting 
consoles is getting to be pretty common, but it’s a cosmetic thing, not 
functional.

[MBZ] My Two Cars

[Bob Rentfro via Mercedes]

So it looks more like I will be going to Dubai instead of Michigan. That being 
the case, I think I will need to sell my two cars. I think I will give all you 
clowns first crack at them. 
1998 E300D, 312K miles, zero rust, white/blue MB Tex, two small spots of clear 
coat peeling, steering rack and fuel hoses/o-rings replaced 18 months ago. If I 
were to put it on CL, I’d ask $3000 and see what happend. 
2005 E320 185K, again zero rust,  on its third fuel tank on the recall, needs 
fuel filler neck (found small crack via smoke test so now the check engine 
light is on), almost at the point of needing rubber bits in the front end, uses 
about 1.25 quarts between oil changes. A lady bumped into me a couple months 
ago so there is a slight scratch on drivers front fender above the wheel and a 
smudge on the wheel. CL listing for this would likely be $3450.

If any of you jamokes are interested send me an email and I’ll supply pictures.

Re: [MBZ] I May Buy This...

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

W210 quality. Chrysler hadn’t gotten ahold of Daimler at that time.  More 
plastic than earlier models, but these have the reliability and longevity of 
the W210 chassis’ cars for the most part.

2003 and later were W220 build quality.

Re: [MBZ] Facelift 210 wagon

[Rick Knoble via Mercedes]

Barrister Snook inquires:

>‎So, what are the problems on these? 

The biggest issues are the transmission conductor plate and related wiring 
(<$300 DIY fix) and the front spring perches (mounts). I suspect they are an 
under $100 fix for the proficient welder. Either of these failures are deemed 
catastrophic by most unwitting owners, because shops don't want to touch either 
repair for under fifteen hundred bucks. I have seen examples of these cars (gas 
not diesel) listed for sale with over 350k miles. 

You will tire of driving it before it breaks.

How difficult is it to diagnose the cause of "limp mode"?

It obviously has some sort of "minor problem", e.g. "needs a tuneup."

Re: [MBZ] Facelift 210 wagon

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

I have a first gen (1998) W210 wagon and a second gen (2002) sedan.

No problems on these of any significance. Purely “gas and go” cars that require 
a minimal amount of maintenance and repairs.  I got both of my cars last year 
and haven’t had to do anything to speak of on either outside of normal 
maintenance.

My 1998 wagon has 175k on it, my 2002 sedan in the high 90k range.

I’m doing the first real “repair” on my wagon this week, which wasn’t 
necessarily needed, but I’m doing it anyway - new front shocks to replace the 
original shocks that are on it (but still working OK).

I did put motor mounts and spark plugs on the sedan when I got it, but they 
weren’t to the point of absolutely needing replacement. I let my inner Martha 
get the better of me. Under $300 in OE parts to do it all.

I loves my W210s so much that I’m looking for something else that I can tinker 
with, because they need nothing

Re: [MBZ] OT - proposed new rule

[ROGER HALE via Mercedes]

So, would this new rule be considered a form of censorship on this list?  It 
would seem that if you don't like FB, do what I do, ignore it.  But taking the 
possibility away from others seems a bit harsh.  I don't like BAT, but I 
haven't asked for it to be censored on this list.  Loosen up folks, it's not 
the end of the world yet.  Travel more with Mark Twain and eventually nothing 
will bother you.  Just another opinion.

Best wishes,

Roger
