Re: [MBZ] Strip Fuse replacement - was Mystery solved
no, I had not considered that option. I never knew they were readily available. On my 126. the 30A strip fuse is a retrofit after the original fuse in the fusebox melted the fuseholder. Its a good idea. Having experience with the Prince of Darkness (Lucas) I can see how you had figured that out! At 03:06 PM 3/2/2007, you wrote: Loren, Have you considered using an automatic or manual reset thermal breaker? They are available at most auto parts stores. A common problem on a 123 is the fuse holders get in poor condition for two fuses, the fuse for the ACC and the fuse for the electric condensor fan (the one in front of the radiator and a/c condensor). When these holders get in poor condition, they will heat the fuse because of a poor connection, blowing the fuse. I re-routed the wiring for these two circuits from the fuse box to some automatic reset thermal breakers to solve fuse blowing. I have also used them in our British cars to help keep the smoke in those Lucas electrical systems.

Re: [MBZ] Mystery solved
Now you know why we recommend all MB fuses be changed every 10 years - they develop fine cracks that are impossible to see - of course once they're removed it becomes obvious that they're broken.

I have a 1990 300SEL 135K. I could not remember whether my car had OBDI and did not know what this indicated. So, pulled out my owner's manual. It said that only California models had the OBD. This surpised me and I don't know whether that is the case or not. At any rate, when I started the car later that night the light was not on. It was not on when I started this morning, but it did come on during my drive to work. I had to drive to an appointment about 60 miles away and was a little concerned with what was going on. As I was driving to my appointment, I noticed I was getting hotter and hotter, I turned down the temperature and pushed the button for high. Nothing happened. I thought someone was wrong with the ACC. I tried every button and nothing happened. I made it to my appointment, forgot about it and on the way back, I wondered whether I had a fuse out. I couldn't find anything else that wasn't working. I discovered that the same fuse that runs the ACC also controls the on-board diagnostic system. Ta Da! Problem solved. Until I looked at the fuse - it was fine. I thought. It looked fine, but when I removed it, the strip was cracked and broken. When it was in the fuse holder it looked solid, but on closer inspection it was blown. So, it was just a fuse for both problems. This, of course, reinforces Dr. Booth's advice - replace old FUSES!

The inspectors are licensed by the state and if they do anything too hinky you can go to the MSP on them... BTW last time I got a car inspected it was at a stealership (deliberately) and they found that the sway bar bushings were shot as was the engine mounts. Given the car developed a nasty vibe to it when in gear with the brakes on (right on the way to the inspection, augh!) I knew about the mounts. I didn't know that the bushings got bad (I thought all 210 front ends rattled a bit on low speed bumpy roads)... Anyhow, the sway bar links practically fell apart when I disassembled things! ... Oh yeah, they mentioned the rear brakes would pass but only had about 3kmi left on them.. I replaced them for good measure. Time before that was at a local gas station, and I saw a note for headlamp aim (that was scratched out!) and that the high-beam indicator was not working.

[MBZ] New rules would slash diesel pollution
Published: Saturday, March 3, 2007 New rules would slash diesel pollution Associated Press WASHINGTON - The Environmental Protection Agency announced a plan Friday that would do away with most of the smog and soot caused by diesel-burning trains and boats. It's an ambitious move supported by many environmentalists and air quality officials. Every major metropolitan area in the country will benefit from the huge emissions reductions expected from this long-awaited rule, said Bill Becker, executive director of the National Association of Clean Air Agencies. We estimate the emissions benefits will be equivalent to taking three-quarters of a million diesel trucks off the road each year. EPA deserves a thumbs up for this proposal, he said. EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson proposed the new emission standards for diesel locomotive engines, tugs, barges, ferries and recreational marine engines. The toxic chemicals and soot in diesel exhaust contribute to smog and can cause cancer. By tackling the greatest remaining source of diesel emissions, we're keeping our nation's clean air progress moving full steam ahead, Johnson said in a statement. The standards, if adopted and fully phased in, would reduce particulate pollution from these engines by 90 percent and smog-forming nitrogen oxides by 80 percent, the EPA said. The EPA proposes tightening pollution standards for remanufactured locomotives, newly built locomotives and marine diesel engines, as well as longer-term technology upgrades. The standards for rebuilt trains would apply as early as next year, while those for new locomotive and marine diesel engines would be phased in starting in 2009 and take full effect a decade from now. The Diesel Technology Forum, an industry group, said EPA's approach toward cutting diesel pollution from trains and boats is already succeeding with highway trucks, but that it's important to promote more use of ultra-low sulfur diesel along with cleaner-burning engines. Costs of the new pollution requirements are estimated at $600 million by 2030, adding less than 3 percent to the price of a locomotive and 1 percent to 3.6 percent to the price of boats using the cleaner engines. Health benefits are estimated at $12 billion by 2030, including 1,500 fewer premature deaths, 1,100 fewer hospitalizations and 170,000 more work days by people breathing easier. -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Re: [MBZ] Maryland inspections/registration
Tom- Yea but...if you compare inspection in PA to NY, NY is a joke. At least that was the case when I was there 6 years ago. On the flip side, inspection in NJ has just been made even less stringent than it already was...coming soon, cracked headlights/lenses and bad license plate bulbs are no longer cause for failure. But you do have to go to one of a limited number of state-run facilities to get the rubber glove treatment. Tony Wirtel Here in the great state of Alabama, we have no vehicle inspection we have no smog testing. We also have very little rust almost no snow. But I understand the plight of those of you in the poor states. I'm from just south of Buffalo, NY I remember the pains of both. Thanks, Tom Hargrave www.kegkits.com 256-656-1924
Re: [MBZ] Mystery Water leak W123 300D
Sometimes water will leak and drip onto a hot engine component which makes it evaporate, eliminating the evidence of the leak. Of course, the worst possible problem would be water leaking into the oil inside the engine. If this happens the oil can become milky looking when the water leak becomes significant. But 1.5mm is not significant.
