[MBZ] 190D 2.5T Spotted
On my way home from work last night I took a round about route so I could stop at the tractor parts place. On the highway I passed a 190D 2.5 Turbo. The guy driving gave an enigmatic smile as I passed. He was pulling off at that exit otherwise I'd have slowed down and oogled his apparently spotless car. -Curt - Shape Yahoo! in your own image.

Re: [MBZ] Engine tranny swap out
There is more than that, but my memory is getting a bit fuzzy... oil lines to filter housing, maybe the oil filter housing, I believe some issues with the plumbing of the vacuum pump. Best to have both cars side by each and very carefully look at everything. You don't have to swap the trans, but you will have to adapt the newer engine to use the linkages from the older engine (your TDT uses a cable to control shift points, the older car uses a linkage rod). Expect 2x hours for routine swap. If you are doing it yourself, take your time and check everything before your lower the engine in. If a shop is doing it, make sure it's one where the wrench uses his head not his hands to think (voice of experience here).

[MBZ] ban cellphones while driving
I'm sure this will start a torrential thread of varying opinions but I'm all in favor of banning cellphone use while driving.

Re: [MBZ] ban cell phones while driving
The real issue is not cell phones, eating, texting, etc. The real issue is distracted drivers. Regulate cell phones youv'e gotten no-where. Make distracted driving a ticketable offense and then mayby you've gotten somewhere. And by the way, talking on the cell phone is no more a distraction than talking to someone in the car, which we all do all the time. The distraction comes when answering or placing a call.

Re: [MBZ] ban cellphones while driving
You;re right about it not being enforced even if passed. The larger problem is all the other things drivers do while driving that are never discussed. turning around and yelling at kids, eating, reading, chatting with others, changing clothes (yeah, I know, but it happens), and the zillions of other things prople do when driving that they shouldn;t do. Actually, it's only been in the last 3-5 years that German cars have added cup holders (very sure about Porsche, pretty sure about MB) because Germans figure driving is a full time job and drivers should not be distracted by other things. Not an altogether unreasonable idea. Of course when you have the possibility of running across a unlimited speed limit zone on a Autobahn, it;s best to concentrate/ The US takes the opposite approach - putting every conceivable past-time distraction possible. Supposedly not viewable by the drivers, there are DVD players in almost every new SUV and MiniVan, and there are some in the front seat area.. While an enforcable law will never pass - only a national effort to make this behaviour socially unacceptable - like drinking driving and smoking has become. In the mean time, there's no telling how many people die because they or someone else wasn't paying attention. I think part of theproblem is the lack of emphasis the police put on reckless behavious - which is my definition, don't know if it would stand up in court. The police are always going after speeders even if they are not being unsafe. IMO, a MB in good condition doing 80-100 on a interstate with a limit of 65 is not being unsafe - assuming the driver has both hands on the wheel and both eyes on the road. But put a driver reading the newspaper driving the speedlimit next to the MB above and the MB will get a ticket or arrested and the reader will get a pass.

[MBZ] OT Re: ban cellphones while driving
not sure what this has to do with MBZs,... FWIW, studies have shown that even conversing with a passenger reduces the amount of mental bandwidth available to use to focus on driving, and that the likelihood of a beginning driver to get in an accident increases exponentially with the number of passengers in the vehicle. some studies place Dashboard Dining as the highest cause of non-alcohol related operator error-induced accidents, with phone use still being a good deal lower on the list. (the new influx of 'texters' doesn't seem to be showing up in the ranking yet; perhaps because that's something that's still just a one-way method of communication at no particular speed, and/or doesn't have the same potential for external distraction by a party on the other end, similar to the one-way-at-a-time operation of a 2-way radio.) side note: i find it interesting that in Amateur (Ham) Radio culture, it's perfectly acceptable to say hang on; gotta' drive! and toss away the microphone until it's safer to pick it up again, but that that practice doesn't seem to extend (at least yet) to Cell Phone use... sadly, the portion of the general populace that isn't bright enough to be able to do 2 things at once probably also isn't bright enough to realize it. still, that's less reason for choosing to not own a cell phone because some people can't use them responsibly than not owning a car because other people can't drive. focus needs to be on driving skills and the responsibility involved with operating a motor vehicle, not on limiting everyone because some aren't competent/responsible. cheers! e Glenn Brown wrote: I'm sure this will start a torrential thread of varying opinions but I'm all in favor of banning cellphone use while driving.

[MBZ] back to GPS
Having used my IPAQ travel companion's tomtom unit a few times now I find I like it very much and it has a lot more features than I realized. Nothing wrong with the older Garmin ColorMap unit, but I like the turn by turn voice directions quit a bit, and the battery drain is considerably less on the IPAQ. In the time it would have taken my Garmin to drain 4 AA's [when I was not plugged into the car] the tomtom unit only used @ 15 % of it's rechargeable battery.

Re: [MBZ] Need 107 oil filter
Well I discovered that the W116 450SEL uses the same filter, so I pulled the bowl but now I need to pull the adaptor thing. The biggest socket I have is a 30mm and that is not big enough.

[MBZ] Help with Shop Manual CD
I have had an official Model 124 Service Manual Library on CD for about 8 years. It's recently become almost impossible to use with my current XP computer with latest updates.

Anyway, a few years ago, someone on one of these lists gave me a macro type program that would index, list and open exaclty the file I was looking for without going through all those lame graphics the CD tries to use.

Re: [MBZ] OT: 5kW Chinese Genset
It's strange that they take all the trouble to make sure Q6 gets turned off well (with Q5 AND D11), but have not provided anything to turn Q1 and Q2 off. D11 may be for turn-off, but it's also the main current path for the field. Orienting it in the schematic was one of the difficult parts. I had it like D12 before, and just couldn't see the main current flow. D10 is in a wierd location, too, since there's no way for current to flow that way. Not normally, I think of it as a GP protection device. Generators are probably a rather harsh environment! The current in the red-green winding will always flow from red to green (unless there's induction from somewhere else), so Q6 is the wrong polarity to dump its current. Q6 will only add to the current flowing through D11. Yes. I think one of the major features is that it _intends_ to burn the excess available power from the main excitation winding. I have no proof yet, but I think there are two excitation windings because one of them is a third-harmonic winding that generates more as the machine is overloaded. If Q3 is turned on, Q4 (and thus Q1 and Q2) will be off and Q5 will be off. R11 will reverse bias D11 and turn Q6 on, but if current has been flowing in red-green, now having nowhere to go, it will flip the polarity on red-green so that green is positive and red is negative. This will forward bias the body diode of Q6, which will clamp the green wire at 0.7V above the potential of C2. But why a transistor for Q6? Strange. R9 is the biggest resistor there, it's obviously intended to burn lots of power. It's apparent to me that Q6's job is to put R9 (at 10 ohms) in parallel with the 15-ohm field under whatever conditions it thinks appropriate to cut the field current. D12 is the correct polarity to protect Q5 from polarity reversals of the red-green winding, and D13 will clamp the base of Q6 close to the positive rail, with the current first flowing through D11 in those instances, but why go to all that bother? It's a rather large winding, if there are load dumps that cause the regulator to want to cut off the field current the spike could be hellacious. Henries of inductance? Also, C4 and R6 provide POSITIVE feedback for Q3, Q4, Q1, and Q2, not negative. Is this thing supposed to oscillate and D9, et al., provide pulse-width oscillation? That _is_ weird. It certainly could be PWM regulation. There's enough filter inductance in the field to smooth it out. C3 provides negative feedback, could it be enough to cancel out the positive? I believe C3 and C4 are the same value. They were badly damaged, but they're both the same size, and they're those green-dipped film jobs. Thin chiclets. On the other hand, if the red-green winding has current induced in it, so that it's a current source rather than a current sink, and has current flowing from green to red, then the polarity of D10 and Q6 make sense. Such induction would be transient, at best. Under normal conditions the field (R/G) winding is fed some 60+ volts. If you don't feed it plenty you don't get enough output voltage on the main windings. But here it would be powering the circuit instead of the blue winding, the upper bridge, and C2. And when Q6 turns on, it would be shorting the output of the red-green winding (which appears to be not a good thing). Also, if D10 is conducting, D11 will be reverse biased and turning Q1 and Q2 on only pulls down on the base of Q6, and they don't need two darlingtons to do that. Strange. Indeed! I am wondering if this thing is worthy of resurrection, and if so, what improvements to make to it. I already intend to put the MOV in the middle of the 2K R2 (using 2 1k resistors) so that if it fails again it won't burn out the diode bridge, again. I intend to fuse all three windings, and I intend to put small (0.1 ohm?) emitter resistors on Q1 and Q2. So was my schematic layout all that it should be? I'm open to rearranging it if it'll help aid in understanding it. -- 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] Help with Shop Manual CD
Ned - unless you want to use his index, I believe the easiest way by far is to copy all the files from the CD(s) to your hard drive and then find the file named matrix?.htm .The question mark seem to change with the chassis. For my 107 it is matrix6.htm and for the 126 it is just matrix.htm. Running from that link skips all the cutsie intro stuff and starts you right at the main menu. I made a shortcut to that file on my desktop so it opens right from the desktop.

[MBZ] Engine Swap?
Hi All, The sweet-running 75 240D is history, having met its match with a Jersey barrier in a rainstorm on I-5 in downtown Seattle. No injuries to the young driver thank goodness, but the front quarter and suspension are badly banged up beyond repair. The motor still runs like the proverbial sewing machine and the tranny is decent. So here is the question: Can I drop the 240D engine into the 72 220D (FNULNU) that has been patiently waiting in the garage for a new motor? Will it match with the 220 tranny? BTW, in my estimation, the late model W115 240D indeed deserves the title Queen of Diesels, approaching perfection in the beauty and simple elegance of its design, construction, and driving qualities. Our late, lamented 75 W115 whisked us around like magic. The 123s, 126s, 116s, and others drive like battleships in comparison. As nimble, smooth, and quiet (yes, a well-maintained W115 diesel can be VERY quiet) as it was after 30 years and hundreds of thousands of hard miles, I can only imagine what it drove like when it left the showroom.

Re: [MBZ] Engine Swap?
Glad to hear that the young driver is OK, and that the car did it's job of protecting the occupants. Don't know if the engine will just drop in, but my guess is that it will. I agree that the 115 is a great driving car. However, all of mine rusted to the point of not being safe to drive. Plus I hated replacing the blower motor - did it twice, and that was enough for me. Oh - and the A/C compressor mounted above the alternator drove me batty (er). I'm glad that the 107 chassis is based on the 115 - drives even better.
