Re: [MBZ] 722.3 trans
Does anyone have part numbers for the front pump seal (Per Dan) and the oring seal for the secondary pump on the side? Re: MG message: I know some of the brands of transmission fixit juice are good. I put some in the 124 300D, which could drop 1-2 qt overnite. Since then, the trans has been perfect for another 170k and counting. If the seals are softened a bit, they seal. (unless they are really worn out) MG via Mercedes wrote on 8/27/19 11:45 AM: If you have any problems with slipping due to the inside seals, try 1/2 of a quart bottle of Lucas Transmission Fix. I put that much in the transmission I took out of an old 126 when I installed it in my TD march of 2013 about 6 years ago. I was told the 126 had been in the junk yard over 4 years at the time (small local yard). It was slipping at first but after about 50 miles of easy driving it started working great. It still is even at full pedal acceleration from stop up into 4th. I probably should have done the external seals but it has lasted over 100K since I installed it. Just now starting to leak a bit at the front seal. Going by the odometer of the car I took it out of it now has well over 300K if the odometer was correct.

Re: [MBZ] bio diesel
Craig, Exactly like the attached article.. which lauds how easy it is, with simple chemistry, etc etc... it is not. The first presumption is, you get a 100% reaction with all the chemical agents in the mix, which, if you have ever done serious chemistry, never happens. Second, home brew is centered around "used and free veggie oil" which is contaminated with multiple by products of the cooking operation. All which alter the chemistry of the oil, and inject other materials, none which are desireable, like animal fats, burning of the oil, and water. Water content makes very bad Home Brew BioDiesel, along with rancid oil. To have good chemistry, you have to start with good chemicals, in a tightly controlled process. Making spec BioDiesel is a chemical refining of the base stock, which also needs to be "known material". You have to know the chemistry of the base oil to induce the reaction which makes spec BioDiesel.. Almost, is only good enough if you are doing it for your own private use, and are ready to sacrifice the vehicle when it goes wrong. If you are doing it as a commercial enterprise, better hold a much tighter rein on everything to make a reliable end product..

Re: [MBZ] bio diesel
Several states are building that into the plate fees now. $90 in Michigan for EVs, $30 for PHEVs. Should I tell them that the average Volt does more electric miles per year than most EVs, which don't get driven very far? What's funny is when the states that subsidized the purchase of the EVs with four digit tax rebates start punishing the same buyers with increased registration fees.

He didn't seem to know that the cam sprocket broke off the cam beause the cam bearings seized because there was no oil pressure. And I knew that because he showed the smeared bearing journals on the cam, so it should have been obvious to anybody, especially in conjunction with the big ball of silicone string on the oil pickup screen. Then he went on to emphasize the importance of reviewing the service history and getting a PPI so the same doesn't happen to you. How is a PPI going to find a pile of gunk in the oil sump, unless you pull the sump, or maybe drain the oil and get lucky. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RzCLIZ2RDM I haven't gotten far into his CDI upgrade videos, but he was probably right to put a bigger turbo on it, the Crazy Finns told me some time ago that the factory turbo on the straight 6 CDI was good for about 250hp, making it well sized for a 220hp car.

I took a change and bought a split kind DynastyMatress brand. They have several different models and we went with the top of the line model called the grand or something like that. At the time I believe it was $999 for the split king. It came as a package deal with the adjustable base that does vibrate but no heat etc. I can't remember what brand it was but all said and done it was around $2500 or so. This is a difference base than we have but this is all pretty similar to what we got: https://www.amazon.com/DynastyMattress-15-5-Inch-AtlantisBreeze-Mattress-Adjustable/dp/B01FRIMTIK/ref=sr_1_29?crid=1M4BLSTSR6OB=adjustable+mattress+base=1567031647=gateway=adjustable+ma%2Caps%2C295=8-29 We have had it about 4 years now and it has been great. No issues at all. I figured out this foam gel mattress business is a rip off if you go buy one at the store. The model we got compared to and was about identical to that $10k model we looked at in the store. I am pretty sure this is the mattress we got, I think its the same one in the link I quoted above https://www.amazon.com/DynastyMattress-15-5-Inch-AtlantisBreeze-Memory-Mattress-King/dp/B00B22W4V8/ref=sr_1_6?crid=3G8PATP6XMTCY=dynasty+mattress=1567031854=gateway=dynasty%2Caps%2C340=8-6 On 8/28/2019 5:15 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: Giving some serious thought to getting a king size (dual mattress) adjustable bed.

...Of this 1982 240D. It has the usual issues like non-working A/C, vacuum door lock issues, bad door check straps, cracking MB-Tex on the driver’s seat, but it runs OK! I’m sure it’ll run much better once I adjust the valves and check the adjustment of the throttle linkages which are probably not adjusted properly. It should keep me busy for a while. It does have some minor blow by, but hopefully, synthetic oil and some Italian tune-ups will help it. For a $1500 running, driving and stopping car with nice paint, I can’t complain too much! I do wish it had the matching hub caps rather than the Bunts. Also, it has mismatched tires which are ok until I can get a new set of tires.

Re: [MBZ] bio diesel
That follows my caution to only use DOT spec BioDiesel. Never home brewed stuff... There has been a somewhat painful growth into BioDiesel to make a spec fuel standard and get the buyers to understand what they are buying. Early "home brew" folks did not do good chemistry, thus did not get good results, which led to engine damage, injection pump damage, etc etc etc On Specification BioDiesel holds much tighter refining standards which eliminates the early industry home brew issues. The one issue that remains is the gel point for B100, which remains higher than "Dino Diesel". Something to keep in mind if you operate in freezing temps.. . Seasonal adjustment would require switch to pump diesel, blended to the "winter blend".

Re: [MBZ] OT PPO V HDHP w/HSA
Excellent point, Karl, and nice to hear for someone in the “business”. We have had a couple of things that have been done out of network The wife works in the health care industry on the infrastructure (IT) side, and as a result knows the back end of the business as far as claims processing, provider agreements, etc., etc. For whatever reason, we’ve never been able to get her reconstructive surgeon accepted by our carrier. They simply make it as difficult as possible for some disciplines to get on board, most likely because they don’t want to deal with the costs, I’m guessing. So we negotiate. Since our out of network copay is like $3k, we negotiate that with the provider. In nearly every case we are able to get at least 50% knocked off of that amount, if not more. And we pay cash at the time of service, which also gives us leverage when negotiating, as the provider knows they’ve got money in the bank when they’re going home that day. Something else for everyone who uses private insurance to be aware of: If you’ve got a provider who is out of network, but the carrier’s providers are substandard or inadequate, you can ask for a waiver and challenge the carrier’s choices. We did this with the reconstructive surgeon. Her carrier’s in network providers weren’t board certified nor did they specialize in the type of reconstruction work she desired. When the carrier denied the approval of the (out of network) provider she chose she challenged them. A week later there was a conference call between her, her cancer surgeon, a nurse advocate from her employer, and a couple of people from the insurer. The insurer couldn’t make a case for not approving the surgeon she chose, so they green lighted the work and treated it as being in network. On a related note, this same thing comes up with the stupid claim that some forms of treatment are “experimental” when they’re being used in the mainstream. I believe Aetna has gotten nailed on this a couple of times and backed down. You can challenge the insurance company’s decisions. There is a process for it and it does work. Unless whatever has to be done involves a life threatening condition if you don’t like what they tell you, challenge them. Just be sure to do your research and be calm and reasonable. When I worked in the schools a peer of mine’s husband had some sort of muscular issue where the muscles in his neck forced his head to be turned to one side. Not only was it painful, it affected his ability to eat and he had to retire early, as he certainly couldn’t teach. Whatever standard treatments were used to address his condition didn’t work for him. He was like this for a couple of years. One day I was talking to his wife, who was telling me about a hospital in Jacksonville that had a procedure that could likely cure his condition, but it was fairly new (not “experimental”). Our insurer had refused to pay for it. When she told me this I asked her if she challenged the insurance company on the denial. She didn’t know that was an option. She went back to the practice that was doing the procedure and told them what happened and asked if they could help her challenge the denial. She collected a great deal of information where it had been done and paid for by other carriers. The practice provided one of their people for the conference call with the insurer. A couple of weeks later she got the approval. Her husband’s condition was cured and he’s leading a pretty normal life now. You gotta advocate for yourself. No one is going to do it for you. These corporate behemoths certainly aren’t going to help you out, either, especially if it’s going to affect their bottom line. -D > On Aug 28, 2019, at 4:13 PM, Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes > wrote: > > Just about anyone should be able to negotiate a 75% cash discount on a > hospital bill.

Re: [MBZ] OT PPO V HDHP w/HSA
Just about anyone should be able to negotiate a 75% cash discount on a hospital bill. Big insurers typically receive over 80% off. Many people/individuals simply fail to negotiate. Hospitals keep the posted rates high because some (few) insurers actually pay the full rate. Hospitals will happily take 25% over nothing. But even 25% can be a lot of money for many people to pay. One thing no one mentions here is being able to choose who you see when you get sick. Cheaper plans tend to be more restrictive. You may not want the team or the facility they give you. It is almost impossible to be an educated consumer in the health insurance business because you dont know what dread disease you are going to get, and the coverage provisions are almost impossibly arcane and disease-specific typically. Like Dan and others said, the answer all depends on how sick you plan to get. My counsel for any middle aged person would be to go for the PPO and sleep well at night. It does depend a (tiny) bit on how big a bite that extra 400 takes out of your monthly budget, but penny wise, pound foolish as they say. Your employer is paying more than you are typically, if it is any consolation. On Tue, Aug 27, 2019, 2:39 PM Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: > DING!! DING!!

Re: [MBZ] bio diesel
In general, the benefits of using 10% BioDiesel is that while Schedule 52 Bio has slightly less BTU's per volume, it has higher relative Cetane, which, when used as an additive to Schedule 54 "pump diesel" low sulfur fuel, stimulates the burn rate so it burns more completely, thus reducing emissions, as well as adding lubricity, pre injection, to protect IP and injectors. plus some other positives. The game changer for all of these benefits is influenced by the "new diesel injection" systems, electronic timing control, injection charge control, and of course DEF, [the moral equal to burning out your fireplace chimney every few miles]. Do the research, gather facts as they apply to your application, your decision as to using or not, certainly.

Pretty much all of the blackpowder shooter info on Facebook is total crap. The common rail engines are truly remarkable. Angie's '05 Golf will do 45-48mpg, usually 46. Thats the same PD engine as your '06. My 2015 Jetta regularly pulls 50+. Is yours an "automatic" which I put in quotes because its not a slushbox. If it is plan on servicing it. Best parts supplier I've found is IDParts.com Remember there is NO oil you can regularly buy at FLAPS that meets the 507 standard required for the commonrail TDI. I'm using LiquiMoly again from IDParts. They've got a sale on right now, $10 off oil change kits through labor day... -Curt On Wednesday, August 28, 2019, 12:12:26 PM EDT, Bob Rentfro via Mercedes wrote: After 34 years of driving AC-less diesel MBs 82 miles a day through the gates of Hell (well, except for when I had my CLK350 Cabriolet that was going to be my retirement car...until boy-child totaled it), I bought a 2014 Passat TDI SEL.

Re: [MBZ] bio diesel
Several scientific studies have been done which measured the lubrication properties and benefits of all the lubricity materials on the open market, including adding Marval Mystry Oil and even used engine oil. The comparison chart produced by those studies showed that in each case, 10% BioDiesel gave more lubricant property. The caveat was, it had to be BioDiesel that met schedule 52 DOT rating. NOT some "home brew biodiesel concoction" with unknown and uncontrolled contents. It has been over 5 years since I last saw that report, but my best guess is it still is available somewhere on line. At the time, I owned a DOT approved Bio Diesel refinery with design capacity of 20M gallons per month, so I kept current on such things. The addition of DEF engines and other changes have imposed limits on universal use of Bio, currently. So, your use may be influenced by that, as noted in another post above.

Re: [MBZ] bio diesel
Randy, my understanding is the B5 or B10 has sufficient bio-diesel to improve lubricity "enough" so that should no longer be a concern. One pump local to me is B20 now, and another is either B20 or maybe B5, haven't been to that one in a bit. Bio-diesel has lower energy content compared to #2 pump diesel, so there is a trade off of few MPG. - Max Charleston SC On Wed, Aug 28, 2019 at 11:54 AM Randy Bennell via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > There was a recent discussion about adding something to low sulphur > diesel in order to add lubrication for the injection pump. > > Is my recollection correct, that using bio diesel was considered good as > a means of adding lubrication? > > Randy > > > ___ > http://www.okiebenz.com > > To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > > ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] bio diesel
It is in older diesels but not acceptable for newer ones. My Jetta for instance doesn't want more than I think 10% bio. I think truck engines are similar. IIRC on the TDI the issue is that the DPF (diesel particulate filter) burns the accumulated particles out by injecting extra fuel and something about bio is incompatible. -Curt On Wednesday, August 28, 2019, 11:54:31 AM EDT, Randy Bennell via Mercedes wrote: There was a recent discussion about adding something to low sulphur diesel in order to add lubrication for the injection pump.
