Would anyone happen to have any pictures of the ducting to the rear seat center console AC vent on a 126 ( or any others with a similar setup ) and how it is routed? No, but I've taken one apart before. It's a hard-shell molded duct that runs through the console to the HVAC plenum under the dash. The flap valve is in the plenum and driven by a cable. The duct has a bunch of snap fingers that hold it in place. They're easily broken. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] How to remove diesel oil from concrete?
Don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet Take a smal pile of speedy dry and a piece of 2x4 about 6 inches long or so and use the wide flat side to grind the speedy dry into the stain like you were rubbing out paint except alot harder, keep at it and it will eventually all come out. You should end up with a very fine powder like flour if you are doing it right. Mike I've heard that pouring regular fertilizer (y'know, the bomb-making stuff) on it to sit will decompose the oil and remove the stain. I haven't really tried it myself yet. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] How to remove diesel oil from concrete?
Honestly, if your garage floor is coated then clean-up should not be a problem. You can wipe up the oil then scrub the floor with any good detergent. The problem comes from when it's not, like my driveway. In this case, some of the oil actually soaks into the concrete, carrying the black soot in with it. I've tried everything from Cascade, Coca-Cola, Muriatic acid and a pressure washer. Of all of these, the acid was the worse because the acid actually etched away some of the driveway surface. And yes, there was still a stain underneath. So, I just watch the stains slowly fade over the years I ignore the neighbors' complaints..

Re: [MBZ] Fixed Costs (taxes insurance, etc.) [wasRe: better hurry...] FL seasons
No, Dan would not be happy anywhere in Florida. Dan wants four distinct season, a little sprinkling of snow in the winter (more if he chooses to drive a short distance) minimal humidity, and elevations of at least several thousand feet. I'm not being critical, and I will say there are definitely some advantages to the mild (near tropical) climate here. However, I grew up in the Midwest and I miss the change of seasons. If I can get that along with mountains, I'll be as close to heaven as I can get. As a fellow Midwesterner warned me when I moved here, it's like Groundhog Day. Every day is the same, and little or nothing changes. You can't track time by the seasons, because they don't exist. Add to that the horrendous cost of living, which continues to get worse every year. When we first moved here from Wisconsin it was much the same, maybe a little bit cheaper. Now it's ridiculous between taxes and insurance. I know the northern interior is more temperate, but you still have the heat, bugs and humidity. I have lived here for over 10 years, and as far as I'm concerned, I've put my time in. Time to move on. Dan Need a vacation? Get great deals to amazing places on Yahoo!

Re: [MBZ] OT Frito Lay Cummins 4BT Box Van
Rotary/distributor pumps are lubricated exclusively via the fuel flowing through them, and thus are vulnerable to the vagaries of fuel quality (lubricity) and volume fluctuations at high RPMs. In short, they are less reliable than inline pumps which are lubricated by engine oil. Inline pumps are robust and rarely fail on MBs or other applications. Do you know what size plunger they use on the Bosch VE (distributor) pumps found in some 4BTs?

Re: [MBZ] USA trip Parts fraud
The Auto Parts Store should be able to provide a FedEx Tracking Number so you can locate the shipment. Without that, it might mean it was never shipped. Did you try to call them - or were you using email? In times like this, the phone is better than email. You can also check with the Better Business Bureau. They will take a complaint and investigate but they have no policing authority. They only report problems not resolve them. The BBB can also provide the companies background - which is helpful before sending money. By paying by check as opposed to using a credit card, you lost much of your leverage. With a cc card, you can have the bank reverse the charge in a situation like this.

Re: [MBZ] How to remove diesel oil from concrete?
I've had pretty good luck with the Oil Dry type absorbent. It's the same as kitty litter, but sold as a car part instead of a pet supply wiith smell crystals. Like suggested for using kitty litter, it works better if you kind of grind or rub it in and let it set for a few weeks. I suspect any calcined mineral like diatomaceous earth (kitty litter), portland cemet, kilned lime etc will probably suck oil out of concrete. YMMV.

Re: [MBZ] Fixed Costs (taxes insurance, etc.) [wasRe: better hurry...] FL seasons
I actually like your part of Florida better than Citrus County. When we retired in '95 we would probably have settled somewhere between Jacksonville and Flagler Beach had it not been for three grandchildren in Citrus County. My wife had ten happy years babysitting them and going to their various school and sports functions before she died. A friend had a house on the St.Johns years ago. It was on a fairly high bluff above the river not far from route 13. IIRC it was not too far north of the I-95 bridge. He moved to a beach house at Ponte Vedra and now wishes, because of the crowding and traffic, that he had stayed on the river. Gerry -- Well Gerry, I'm half way up to you.

[MBZ] what wheels fit a W126
I bid my crunched 85 300CD farewell last night and I have to say this is the only car I've ever really hated to part with. It was also one of the best and cheapest to operate. I drove it for almost 4 yrs and 64KM at a cost of about $2K. Sadly I'm without a diesel for now. So I'm sorting thru the 380SE and want to update the bundt wheels to something a bit newer. I assume the later yr W126 wheels will also fit, but beyond that, wheels from what other models will fit?? If anyone has a set of 5 rims from a late 80s W126 that are in good shape they want to part with drop me a message off-list. Aside from changing all the fluids and filters are there any other items that generally are a good idea to get done on a new used car?? The car was pretty much dealer maintained for all but the last 20KM and was maintained after that by a mechanic so it doesn't really need anything right now.

Re: [MBZ] what wheels fit a W126
I meant KM= 1000 miles. Yes I was planning on doing the brake fluid, oil, flush radiator, service transmission and differential with new fluids. New air, oil, transmission, and fuel filters. All belts and hoses are pretty new. What's the best way to fix the loose Tex around the seatbelt openings on the door posts? Its just starting to come loose and I want to tighten it up before I do a leatherique or lexol treatment on the seats and door panels. Yes I'm in diesel withdrawal (Its been over 10 yrs since I've been without a diesel) but I'll be keeping my eye open for a really nice low mileage well maintained TD with a third seat. When I find one I'll be back in the diesel fold. Until then I'll enjoy the 380SE. It's sooo quiet. But then again I miss the diesel KLATTA KLATTA. --- Craig McCluskey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sun, 29 Jul 2007 12:39:59 -0700 (PDT) eric peterson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I bid my crunched 85 300CD farewell last night and I have to say this is the only car I've ever really hated to part with.

Its just starting to come loose and I want to tighten it up before I do a leatherique or lexol treatment on the seats and door panels. Remove bottom plastic trim at base of pillar (two phillips head screws.) Pry up the sill moldings on both doors, as the trim has little tabs that go under each of the sill moldings. It comes down and out after the screws are removed. The pillar cover comes off by pulling it down, as there are hooks that keep it in place. You'll need to unscrew the seat belt anchor bolt in the rocker panel to remove the belt from the cover (through the hole.) The cover has an MB-Tex covering that is glued in place. When the tex shrinks from age, it delaminates and comes off the metal cover. Go to a good bodyshop supply place or a NAPA, and buy a can of 3M Spray Trim Adhesive, #8074. If the cover has just delaminated around the edges, mask off the parts and spray both per the instructions, let dry, then put them together. If a lot of it has delaminated, try peeling it completely off and regluing the whole thing. Be sure to do this AWAY FROM THE CAR! The 3M adhesive will attack paint.

You can also check with the Better Business Bureau. They will take a complaint and investigate but they have no policing authority. They only report problems not resolve them. The BBB can also provide the companies background - which is helpful before sending money. By paying by check as opposed to using a credit card, you lost much of your leverage.

Well over a week's period I inquired about the Fed Ex Tracking number for shipment as the parts had not arrived . Days went by no response . repeated contact with them no response, no parts! the $350 check has been cashed! Then it was Time to pack up and go home . Very disappointing. I will appreciate input to this matter. Thanks mak The place is EA Auto Parts 8571 North US Hwy 85 Littleton,Co 80125 1 800 944 3215 ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com -- No virus found in this incoming message.

Re: [MBZ] How to remove diesel oil from concrete?
If Coke Cola can remove paint, then a oil spot should be easy Harry 69 280 SEL 72 350SL ? 04 VW Passat 4 Motion 1999 Mazda Miata ? -Original Message- From: Redghost [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Sat, 28 Jul 2007 10:03 pm Subject: Re: [MBZ] How to remove diesel oil from concrete? Coca Cola and sun shine works like a charm. No idea how it does it, but a few days later, no oil on the floor. clay On 28 Jul 2007, at 17:19, ANGELO GIAIMO wrote: Parked my SDL in the garage for about a week while we went to Jacksonville. When I came back found a small puddle of oil about 4 X 6 under the front left fender. (It's a leaking oil cooler hose which is getting fixed tomorrow) Anyway, what's the best way to get rid of that big black oil blotch left in the concrete in my garage?
