Ahh.  Right.

But it would sure be easy to put a turbo motor in there since it
is already a OM617.  Motor mounts, flywheel, driveshaft are all
correct.

If it were a _S_123   I don't think I should get another
W123.  Especially since I just spent a chunk getting a sturdy
transmission for one of my diesel Suburbans.

Internal to the PBU, I have nestled a red and a blue LED behind two of the
switches.  The red LED is behind the DEF button, and is wired so that it
turns on when the monovalve is activated.  The blue LED is behind the NORM
button, and is wires so that it turns on when the Klima is actuated.  I did
this in particular so that I could tell if it was the monovalve or the PBU
at fault when I wasn't getting heat.  The blue LED will show the AC
compressor cycling.

And the trunk badges are gone. 
IIRC, Marshall used to say that MBZ never made a manual transmission 617.95x, 
because it would lose boost at every shift. A guy who converted a 300SD to 
manual told me that it's slow off the line until it starts making boost, but 
running through the gears is no problem.

[MBZ] WTB - Becker BE 1692

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Hmm.  Further research indicates I need a BE 1692 for the 1998 E320 wagon, not 
a BE 3302.  I’m not sure where I screwed up other than maybe I was using the 
2002’s VIN by mistake when I was looking things up in the EPC.

So now I’m looking for a decent BE 1692.  Got one?  Drop me a PM.

How is it that she is still able to drive a car? The insurance company

Get it cleaned and properly lubed before you break something either in

IIRC the "proper" sunroof paste is big money considering how little 
you need. Rusty used to sell little tubs of it, I think maybe Mercedes 
Source does too. Somewhere I've got the Mercedes Source pamphlet on 
cleaning and lubing. If somebody wanted it I'd let it out on loan...

Re: [MBZ] And the blaming begins

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I’m not taking sides or defending either party here, but from personal 
experience….

I believe that car is equipped with parametric steering.  If the solenoid in 
the steering gear sticks, and when it does it’s typically at low speeds, the 
steering returns to its normal (less assist) mode.  My experience with this in 
the W140 caused the steering to “judder” as it jumped from one mode to the 
other.  It was a great enough concern for me that I spent about 30 minutes 
talking to the guys who are the absolute masters at rebuilding MB steering 
gears out in Vegas.  They confirmed what was going on and told me to just 
disconnect the solenoid.

If she's one of those people who start turning the wheel while they're still 
beside the car in the other lane, you know, the ones that cross the dotted 
white line while they're still beside you in their hurry to cut you off as they 
pass you?

that car hundreds of miles a day and never had a problem. She says she went to 
pass this truck and was moving to the left lane and the steering started

Re: [MBZ] And the blaming begins

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

The story is the steering stuck and she was correcting and as she did the truck 
passed her and the right front caught the truck. That story does not seem to 
make any sense. She must have been in the left lane getting passed on the 
right. But the impact to me looks like that consistent with plowing into a 
vehicle that slowed down or stopped. If she supposedly turned into the vehicle 
that was passing seems the damage would have been quite different. Maybe I am 
understanding it wrong.

Finally used it last night, tightened the headgear one notch at a time until it 
quit leaking, but still woke up a couple of times with it leaking and had to 
reposition it. 
Nostrils were slightly sore when I woke up but the feeling went away within and 
hour. I'm sure I didn't have it too tight, but it might have been too loose. 

Should I give my nostrils a rest tonight, or wear the pillows mask again?

Mitch.

[MBZ] OT: CPAP nasal pillows

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

So I got a Fisher and Paykel Brevida last Friday after the talk here about 
nasal pillows when Kleb got his CPAP. Told my DME rep that I wanted something 
small in hopes it wouldn't dislodge as easily in the night, and that's what she 
gave me. 
The display mask fit great, I wore it for about 5-10 minutes while we talked 
and she got a new one for me. Unfortunately, she fitted the display mask to me, 
not the one she sent home with me, so I had to read the instructions and try to 
get it to fit. The instructions said to wear it loosely, but the headgear has 
two straps about an inch apart and it's not very secure, especially when loose. 

Finally used it last night, tightened the headgear one notch at a time until it 
quit leaking, but still woke up a couple of times with it leaking and had to 
reposition it. 
Nostrils were slightly sore when I woke up but the feeling went away within and 
hour. I'm sure I didn't have it too tight, but it might have been too loose. 

Should I give my nostrils a rest tonight, or wear the pillows mask again?

I don't know if it shows in that pic (filthy from the storage lot the day I 
brought it home) but it's really, really red. The innocent driving public can

make some money off your mileage reimbursement at 40+mpg.

Re: [MBZ] I give up, just shoot me now please

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Yeah come get this diesel, you can deal with the glow plugs or whatever 
is throwing the codes.  Put that valance on it and it will be a nice 
looking car, should run OK after you deal with those code issues.


I bought it for $500, bought a few bits for it, new wheel/tire, rear 
light, coupla other things, need to get that rear window regulator 
replaced, but I'd let it go for $600 or a bit more if I have to buy a 
regulator.  Or if you want me to fool with the code issues we can sort 
that out.  It's gonna need a set of tires, not sure I would drive from 
here to Okieland on the ones on there, but maybe they would be OK,. they 
are just worn.

I have told her that is what she needs to do. Just like with the kid though it 
would get torn up also. I have spent thousands of dollars on real estate fees 
but noting has been sold, so I would not call that a job really.

Yes.  At this rate I’m going to have to take up a collector to fund the 
purchase of some other unloved Benz’s. Mine seem to be dropping like flies. 

She has gotten my money’s worth on AAA. We have the 5 tows per year and I think 
this is probably number 5 today. I have not used mine at all.

Re: [MBZ] I give up, just shoot me now please

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

Yet, it’s always my fault some how. The last car I had her in was the 140 which 
caught on fire. I had to put her in this car when that happened, otherwise I 
would be driving this car. It’s the one you rode in when you were here. I got 
the 140 going again pretty easily but it’s got a strange issue with the 
ignition switch now. At first I thought it was related to the fire but now I 
don’t think so. It started getting to when you turned the key on none of the 
dash lights would light up. If you moved the key back slightly it would kick 
on, so it seems like a contact issue in the switch. I did not want to put that 
car back into service until o addresses that but looks like o have no choice. 
It’s either that or she can drive the SDL, which I don’t really want to see 
torn up. 

The kids blown up e430 is still out there and beat all to hell. Maybe i should 
slap another radiator it it and let her drive that.

Re: [MBZ] I give up, just shoot me now please

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Hard to tell from the pics, but I don't see bumper distortion, which leads
me to surmise the uni body frame structure might likely be intact and
unbent.
A careful inspection and a trip across a frame machine would tell that
story properly. otherwise, looks to be sheet metal, ie fender panel and
perhaps hood.

Paint replacements to match.. unbolt, rebolt... fit... done... maybe...

Air bags deploy?  [considerable expense there].

Are you using the master key and not the valet key? The master key I gave
you had no key head but was just a bare piece of metal.

I THINK you can turn a valet key into a master key by using a Dremel
grinder to enlarge the middle slot on both sides of the key.

I do recall 240D motor mounts in the bunch of stuff I gave you.

[MBZ] Airless tires!

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

ELECTRIC VEHICLESHow to make cars lighter? Toyota explores airless
tiresPublished:
Monday, October 30, 2017

Toyota Motor Corp. is looking to develop airless tires to reduce the weight
of its electric and fuel-cell vehicles.

The company last week unveiled its Fine-Comfort Ride, a hydrogen-powered
concept car, at the Tokyo Motor Show. The vehicle features individual
motors for each wheel and airless tires, which are essentially a ring of
rubber surrounding a wheel hub made from plastic and aluminium.

Right now, the futuristic rubber products weigh about the same as
conventional tires. But Toyota chief engineer Takao Sato hopes continuing
development will cut 11 pounds off each tire by 2025 or so, helping to make
electric cars easier to power.

"For automakers, the attraction of airless tires is for electrified
vehicles," Sato said.

Still, the technology is years away from coming to the commercial market.
Though airless tires are already manufactured for small vehicles like golf
carts and lawn mowers, they are unproven for larger passenger cars.

Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd., which supplied the tires for the Toyota
concept, is hoping to have an airless product available for small electric
cars by 2020 (Kevin Buckland, Bloomberg
,
Oct. 29). *— NS*

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Winchendon, where I live is just on the other side of a line of mountains that 
run down the state just east of where MA, VT and NH come together, thus our 
weather really has not much to do with Boston, we just don't get the weather 
off the ocean like the eastern part of the state does.
We've had some wind but not so bad, its usually windy here anyway. Lots of 
rain, the sump pump has run a few times this morning which is unusual for this

 XTREME WEATHERStorm pounds Northeast, leaving 1.2M without powerPublished:
Monday, October 30, 2017

A massive storm with hurricane-force gusts and prolonged rain hit the
Northeast early today, leaving more than 1.2 million without power.

Power could be out for days, according to utilities.

There are reports of downed trees and power lines across the region, with
the potential for flash floods in some areas.

New England was hit hardest, with sustained winds of more than 50 mph in
places. One gust measured 82 mph on Cape Cod. Hundreds of schools closed
today in the region.

"We need about 24 to 48 hours to really get a good handle on what the scope
of the damage is," said Seth Wheeler, a spokesman for New Hampshire
Electric Cooperative. "We'll be making restorations along the way, but this
is going to be a multiple-day event."

Mid-Atlantic states were hit yesterday, with some power loss in New York
and New Jersey. Regional rail services were delayed due to mudslides and
power outages (Associated Press

And the other choice is ... Apple.  NO THANK YOU.  At least with
Android I have a file system, some choices on how I use it,  and
the OS developer isn't actively trying to prevent anyone from
trying to do something outside of their jail cell.

So I use Android and even without rooting the phone it's possible
to limit - but not eliminate - how much is collected.

that?  Me: "VIN"  "I only need the last 8 places of the vin."  I gave 
him that.  He said" Hang on, I need to go get help. "I hung up.  No

IIRC the "proper" sunroof paste is big money considering how little you need.

Re: [MBZ] Hello

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

Any success?

Read that, looks like that is only for synchronizing the sunroof controls.
I wonder it that will solve an issue I've got with The White Whale, where
the sunroof will stop for no apparent reason when trying to open it and it
reaches about 2 inches open.  The pop-up function works great, but when it
stops during the opening function, I have to manually crank it closed a
little bit before the motor will work again and it can be closed with the
switch.  I've assumed the motor is going bad and has a bad spot on the
commutator, but perhaps that is not the case?

I still need to RTFOM.

At least close to that color. Fred's 300TD is that color or close to it...

Re: [MBZ] 123 fuel mileage - was: Two Questions

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

My favorite thing about my Jetta is the 12 gallon fuel tank and 50mpg, I love 
hearing the pump stop.
I was at the gas station one time, big diesel pickup across from me when I 
pulled up. When I put the nozzle back he cried out "Ain't you gonna put any 
in?" I said "Well I would but this will hold me for 500 miles..." We shared a 
laugh.

It is to be the boy's first car.  Stickshift.  Not particularly valuable
but reasonably safe.  And we already own it.  He just turned 16.  He's
reasonably interested in its fuel economy, as we've had him filling the
other cars at the gas station as practice.  He was pretty shocked to
'discover' that it's pretty much $50 a pop these days, and they happen
fairly often---especially on the wife's X5, which is now on its second
engine, the first one apparently having been worn out due to IMHO the
excessive driving.  He's becoming aware of how long it takes to earn $50
down at his stratum.
