I have a sneaking suspicion that the whole free shipping thingy with 
Trent is what sent him to the nut house, he is probably in a nice pink 
padded cell going on about mufflers to Australia.
Perhaps he has taken to drink, to try and forget about me making 
extraordinary demands on him.

Either that or he is on a plane to Oz with my muffler as carry on luggage?

[MBZ] UPDATE: 2004 E320 4matic - Water on Front Passenger's Side after Heavy Rain-ADDED Sunroof Issue

2013-06-14 Thread Robert Koziak





Hi all,


UPDATE:   With your help and instructions I was able to reset the sunroof 
switch settingsit has been working correctly for two days now.   


It was suggested that the leak might be from the windshield seals so I decided 
to seal the sunroof with plastic and wait for the next storm to narrow down the 
issue.  Torrential rain all night in New York so went out to the car this 
morning and it was completely dry!  Now that the leak is definitely from the 
sunroof, what could be the causes and fixes?  The drains were cleaned out, 
where to I proceed from here?


 I researched the Internet and there was mention of a possible recall on the 
sunroof with he following number:




DTB P-B-77.10/24c JUN07


??


All suggestions will be explored by my son and I during this Father's Day 
Weekend!


Thanks in advance.


Bob

During a recent storm I tracked the leak to the inside of a panel on the 
passenger's side of the dash console.  The panel is visible when you open up 
the passenger's front door.  As  pointed out this still does not indicate if 
the leak is coming from the windshield gasket, roof drains etc.  
 
A friend worked on cleaning out the sunroof drains but in the process I now 
have an issue with the sunroof.  When pushing the button to close it about six 
inches from being closed, it stops and reopens.  I did some research and there 
is a Anti-Pinching' feature that was probably disturbed and needs to be reset. 
 
Any thoughts of this...some say it has to be reset by a dealer.  
Instructions or help is greatly appreciated!  
 
Tomorrow  severe storms in the northeast will help see if the sunroof drains 
were the source.

Now that the leak is definitely from the sunroof,


I'm still not 100% convinced, but you might be right.

There's enough torque in the body that a windshield might
leak or not depending on how it's parked, could there be
anything to that?  How sure are you that your drapage did
not cover any part of the windshield, or affect runoff over
it?  Is there any chance that while cleaning the drains you
either poked through one of the rubber hoses, or pushed it
off?  My experience with the sunroofs is that it's basically
a drip tray under the hatch, with a drain hose on a fitting
in each corner.

It is good, but it's not as sensitive as the sensor systems, you
don't get as early a warning.  I'd say it's probably no more
sensitive to low tire pressure than your eyeball, but you do have
to _look_ at all the tires to use the eyeball system.  This

Jim,


I neglected to mention two facts, one I parked the car in the exact same 
location in my driveway which is facing in on a fairly steep downward incline.  
Secondly, the leak was definitely less after my friend cleaned out the drains.  
He said he had the sunroof off to check the drains thoroughly.  He found debris 
in the right front drain which is on the same side as the leak.  The sunroof 
sits slightly lower than the roof line on all sides, I am not sure if that is a 
result of the reinstall or it was originally like that when I purchased the car 
4 months ago. 


Also I was very careful to seal the sunroof with tape and plastic not 
getting near the windshield.  Just finished getting the remnants of adhesive 
off the roof.  Appreciate your input.

BTW, Jim what's latest on the phantom 126 - the one that SWMBO thought

It's my daily driver, and what we resorted to when we had a flat
(X5) we discovered on our way to dinner Saturday.  It's driving OK,
but reverse is nearly gone.  The tranny has been restored to
usability by a bottle of snake oil, but it's been telling me
in no uncertain terms that it wants a replacement.  If you
floor it too hard it won't shift out of 1, but if you back
off it'll go to 3 and thereafter it's fine.  2 is basically
not there, though you can make it get into it using the shifter
and no throttle (going up), or punching the throttle (going down).
Weird.

I'm sure a valve body rebuild would fix it right up, except for
the reverse problem, which requires new clutches.

The secret sauce AC was working fine the other day when it
was pretty warm out.  Last recharged nearly a year ago.

[MBZ] 300E AC Woes

2013-06-14 Thread Dan Penoff
The boy finally got his 92 300E up to our 3rd generation MB indie yesterday, 
and the response was less than positive.

As I expected, they said fixing the AC would cost more than he paid for the 
car, and therefore wasn't worth it. They say that the compressor is seized, 
which is why the clutch won't engage.  I'm not sure I buy this, as I can turn 
the compressor by hand, but the clutch does not engage with power applied to 
it, so I'm still convinced the clutch itself is bad.

So now we're on to Plan B, with the assistance (hopefully) of this august group.

I may have access to a vacuum pump and an R134a manifold gauge set.  More on 
that in a minute.

My thought is to replace the compressor, flush the system, put a new (rebuilt?) 
compressor and drier on it and recharge with either an R12 equivalent or change 
over to R134a.

My questions revolve around the process and materials used to flush the system, 
something I have never done, and the use of an alternative refrigerant in an 
effort to keep the efficiency of R12, since this climate is really tough on 124 
systems converted to R134a. 

Also, rebuilt or new when it comes to a compressor?

I'm checking with my former neighbor who is a commercial AC guy.  I am pretty 
sure he has a vacuum pump but not sure about the manifold gauge set.  Can you 
get a HF set that does both R12 and R134a?

Thanks in advance,

Dan

 BTW, Jim what's latest on the phantom 126 - the one that SWMBO thought 
 was #1 but was really #2 while #1 lurked in garage a few feet away?

It's my daily driver, and what we resorted to when we had a flat
(X5) we discovered on our way to dinner Saturday.  It's driving OK,
but reverse is nearly gone.  The tranny has been restored to
usability by a bottle of snake oil, but it's been telling me
in no uncertain terms that it wants a replacement.  If you
floor it too hard it won't shift out of 1, but if you back
off it'll go to 3 and thereafter it's fine.  2 is basically
not there, though you can make it get into it using the shifter
and no throttle (going up), or punching the throttle (going down).
Weird.

I'm sure a valve body rebuild would fix it right up, except for
the reverse problem, which requires new clutches.

The secret sauce AC was working fine the other day when it
was pretty warm out.  Last recharged nearly a year ago.

Last I checked the Chicken wagon was also down with transmission 
issues. Is one of them priority over the other?


Yes.  The CW is not needed at this time because of the X5, it 
languishes.

The truck is the all-purpose backup, still.  For now I drive the SEL,
and am very careful where I drive/park so as to avoid altogether the
need for reverse.

Can he heap be put into summer service or would you switch to the 
Dodge?


Jill's SL is the designated non-truck alternate.  The heap would
be fine, but no AC and would have to find a set of non-studded
tires.  (Same tire problem with the CW.)  In any kind of pinch
the 190D would be next up, but I think it needs more suspension
components as it's starting to drive stinky again.

Too many cars!

Re: [MBZ] 300E AC Woes

2013-06-14 Thread Jim Cathey
car, and therefore wasn't worth it. They say that the compressor is 
seized, which is why the clutch won't engage.  I'm not sure I buy 
this, as I can turn the compressor by hand, but the clutch does not 
engage with power applied to it, so I'm still convinced the clutch 
itself is bad.


If you can turn the hub by hand it's not seized.  First test the
integrity of the clutch itself, try clipping a battery charger
onto its terminals.  If that's not got an obvious problem like
a broken wire try replacing the clutch with a good used unit.

Get it clutching, then pull a vacuum and check for leaks.  If
that's good fill it with test refrigerant and then run an
extended leak test.  I figure a couple of years is enough for
a good test.  Then put R12 back in it.  :-)

My thought is to replace the compressor, flush the system, put a new 
(rebuilt?) compressor and drier on it and recharge with either an R12 
equivalent or change over to R134a.


Why flush?  If the compressor didn't grenade and it's not open
to the elements, it's probably still clean.  HC refrigerants don't
need the strong drier elements that HCFC's do (no acids as
decomposition components), so the drier might still be good
enough, if it isn't open to the elements.


an alternative refrigerant in an effort to keep the efficiency of R12,


HC is reputedly even _more_ effective than R12, but it won't
quite handle the highest heats due to the physics of the various
gasses.  Worth a try.


Can you get a HF set that does both R12 and R134a?


No.  The oils are usually highly incompatible so they don't
(and never have) made combined gauge sets.  Get (or borrow)
an R12 set, if that's what your car had originally.

Everybody always wants you to spend a lot of money on AC.
Excepting tools, I'm talking about more like $20 all told.
(Used AC compressor, for its clutch, plus sauce.)

My buddy's Axxess got about a $2k estimate about a decade
ago.  Instead, every couple of years he comes over with
two cans of the secret sauce, and some Guinness.  I think
he's pretty far ahead of the game, cost-wise.  We might
be nearly convinced that his system is not quite passing
its leak test.  More discussion over beer is called for.

[MBZ] 240D won't burp

2013-06-14 Thread Curt Raymond
BAH! These are the days that make me want to throw up my hands and get a brand 
new appliance grade car to be boring in.

I can't get my '78 240D to not run hot. Its not overheating but right now the 
gauge is steady around 200F (max is 250F) with no warm coming from the heat.

Okay, backup. Everything was fine, then I realized the short hose from the 
thermostat to the water pump was leaking. I replaced that Wednesday. Yesterday 
I messed around for a couple hours between downpours trying to get all the air 
out.
Last night I decided maybe the thermostat was at fault, Q2 had gotten me a new 
Behr (no country of manufacture listed) so I pulled it this morning and did a 
test in hot water. The old made in China model seems to start opening a 
little sooner but both are completely open at the same time. The new one is 
maybe a little taller overall than the old one.

To limit the number of changes I put the old one back in which doesn't seem to 
have made any difference...

I'm down to one running/safe vehicle (rain prevented brake servicing on the 
190D) and NEED another so I can go to work Wednesday, this sucks.

This list represents a group which has evolved into an extended family. By
virtue of taking on the business, you become an integral and vital part of
that extended family.

Going silent for an extended period causes worry, first that you are OK,
second that the business is OK, third that the parts we depend on to keep
our MB running successfully are going to continue to be available from a
reliable source. In this case, you.

We came to depend on Rusty, but only because he was dependable. If there
is a suggestion I would make, it would be to stay available or at least
have someone in the company able to give solid information in response to
the status of orders.

The most valuable commodity in any business is customer good will.. it's a

I get the air out by cracking open the top hose at the
radiator and pouring water in until it's running out over
my hand, then I push the hose on.  That seems to do it.
Try parking with the nose significantly up.  Ramps?

[MBZ] Parts

2013-06-14 Thread Dan Penoff
We all know what has been taking place over the last week or two as far as 
parts suppliers.  Truth be told, this has been going on longer than the recent 
dust up, if people recall from reading some of the recent posts.

With this in mind I would forward a suggestion to all:

Give Gary a call or email:  http://www.buyeuroparts.com/

I am not suggesting that you abandon Trent, or by doing so are being disloyal 
to Rusty.  Think about those of you who bought from Rusty in the past.  If you 
placed orders, you often spoke to Gary, who is very knowledgeable about parts 
and suppliers as well, and will help you avoid the URO crap that is out there 
whenever possible.

From my observations Gary has gotten things together well and has certainly 
settled down.  I just placed my first order with him this morning and it was a 
pleasant and enlightening experience.

You all know that I was a target of his I hope you die of cancer rants, for 
reasons which are not relevant to this group.  My point being that while some 
might judge him by his previous behaviors, it is better to be forgiving and 
reap the benefits that each party can bring to the table.  I am suitably 
impressed that he has gotten his sh*t together and by doing so can provide a 
vital and important service to us all.

With this in mind I would encourage you to give him an opportunity to earn your 
business.  Just my $0.02.

Re: [MBZ] 350SDL parts

2013-06-14 Thread Chris James

Believe it or not, the 190D 2.2  350SD/SDL both have the same belt.
008 997 34 92 (0089973492)

Not sure why the catalog is not set up correctly for your 350SDL.
Regardless, you can just order via the part #  add it to the cart along
with anything else you'd like.

I've double checked the EPC 008-997-34-92 is the correct #.

[MBZ] Fwd: UPDATE: Partial Success - 2004 E320 4matic - Water on Front Passenger's Side after Heavy Rain-ADDED Sunroof Issue

2013-06-14 Thread Robert Koziak







Jim,


   You are right!  The leak is somewhere from the right front drain hole in 
the sunroof to where the windshield pillar meets the top of the console.  I 
poured a pint of water into the drain hole, almost immediately it drained from 
the bottom of the wheel wheel.  But in addition it started dripping from the 
side of he console.  There is no pooling of water in the sunroof area.  I 
opened up the side of the dash console via a plastic cover that is hidden when 
the passenger's door is closed.  


   I am probably not making myself clear so I attached a picture which 
shows where it is dripping.  The dripping continues for about 15 seconds and 
stops.
 


   Now that I know generally where the leak is coming from any instructions 
(with pictures) on how to access the area and what to repair.


Bob

 the leak was definitely less after my friend cleaned out the drains.

My vote then is for a problem with the drain hose right where it
joins the sunroof.  Either pushed off, or split.  I've seen a lot
of split drain hoses on the HVAC boxes, maybe this happens on the
sunroofs too?

I'm starting to worry I'm back to square 1 re: headgasket failure.

Just after my last missive I put it up on ramps and left it for an hour. Went 
back and the coolant was low so I added, started it up and had cabin heat 
(yay!) so I pulled it down and went for a ride. Everything was looking good so 
I took a slightly longer loop than I had been but that was a mistake. By the 
time I got home it was very hot, coolant pouring out from the only half tight 
radiator cap. I think that might be because of the lack of real pressure and 
the fact that we're getting pretty watery in there. Probably donw

I let it cool another hour, topped it back up, ran it up on the ramps again, 
let it get up to temp and left it. I *hope* the heater core still has air in it 
as its been gurgling as of late. I'll go out in a little bit and try 'er again.

Subject: [MBZ] Parts


We all know what has been taking place over the last week or two as far as 
parts suppliers.  Truth be told, this has been going on longer than the 
recent dust up, if people recall from reading some of the recent posts.


With this in mind I would forward a suggestion to all:

Give Gary a call or email:  http://www.buyeuroparts.com/

I am not suggesting that you abandon Trent, or by doing so are being 
disloyal to Rusty.  Think about those of you who bought from Rusty in the 
past.  If you placed orders, you often spoke to Gary, who is very 
knowledgeable about parts and suppliers as well, and will help you avoid 
the URO crap that is out there whenever possible.


From my observations Gary has gotten things together well and has 
certainly settled down.  I just placed my first order with him this 
morning and it was a pleasant and enlightening experience.


You all know that I was a target of his I hope you die of cancer rants, 
for reasons which are not relevant to this group.  My point being that 
while some might judge him by his previous behaviors, it is better to be 
forgiving and reap the benefits that each party can bring to the table.  I 
am suitably impressed that he has gotten his sh*t together and by doing so 
can provide a vital and important service to us all.


With this in mind I would encourage you to give him an opportunity to earn 
your business.  Just my $0.02.


'nuf said.

I hope this does not come accross as wierd but here goes ---

Is there any way we can help you?
There is a wealth of talent and experience available from the folks 
on this forum who appear willing to share expertise on almost any 
subject.
If you are struggling, I doubt there is anyone here who wants to 
push you down.

We all want you to become Rusty whether that appeals to you or not.

Randy



I Agree with the first three sentences.   Ask for help!  there is an 
amazing amount of talent here.
the last onewell, I'd say we want you to grow to have the same 
level of service as Q, but I don't think we want you r become Rusty.

[MBZ] more crazy travel

2013-06-14 Thread Rick Hawkins Java

Folks,

Wednesday i drove my 300 td from athens, ga to panama city beach, fl  
and back immediately  (on WVO) dragging a trailer.


I picked up 3 italian mopeds in atlanta, then hauled them to florida  
where i picked a couple of small sign press and a bunch of lead and  
wood type i was probably hauling 1100 or 1300 lbs by the time i  
headed back


About 6 am i stopped at a state park on lake eufaula, al and slept on  
a picnic table till about 11 am and was actually pretty rested


So left here about 1 pm wednesday and was back in athens, ga by 4 pm  
thurs ..the only event was a tread separation on an old michelin  
tire (with 60%tread and unknown age). It got a little bumpy and i  
looked at it and it tossed the tread about a 100 miles later, but the  
carcass didn't go flat!


AC ran the entire time and my speed was probably 50 to 70 mph  
indicated depending on terrain and speed limits!


other than that, the trip went well. I slept for 12 hours after i got  
back!

thanks,

xx rick

I'm back to where I started, can't keep coolant in the engine, I've put about 3 
gallons in today and its all splashed back out. While the engine is running it 
bubbles and burbles and the coolant level rises over the neck of the radiator. 
I put in more and we repeat...

I don't know why it would have gotten better for awhile and now gone back to 
this, it doesn't make any sense to me but there we are. 

Looks like Monday I'll be shopping for a new to me car.

If Hendrick smelled like this dish soap, I would have some serious

My vote then is for a problem with the drain hose right where it
joins the sunroof.  Either pushed off, or split.  I've seen a lot
of split drain hoses on the HVAC boxes, maybe this happens on the
sunroofs too?

Might also want to check and see if the metal down where the hose 
connects to the roof doesn't have any rust through holes. That 
happened to one of my daughter's car.
