Re: [MBZ] Poos next project

THAT IS A RARE BIRD,  and deserves to be restored.   It'll probably end 
up at the crusher.  looks like the engine is trashed and it is rusty.   
It did get a kühlmeister.


not worth 2500, but maybe $500.

Re: [MBZ] 190D new cruise control issue

2019-09-13 Thread Scott Ritchey via Mercedes

My 82 300 SD did something similar which (I believe) was a poor connection for 
the speed sense signal on the back of the speedo.  Wacking the dash would make 
it come and go.

[MBZ] Uh! Oh!

2019-09-13 Thread archer75--- via Mercedes


Emissions from diesel cars – even newer and supposedly cleaner models – 
increase on hot days, a new study has found, raising questions over how cities 
suffering from air pollution can deal with urban heat islands and the climate 
crisis.

Research in Paris by The Real Urban Emissions (True) initiative found that 
diesel car emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) rose by 20% to 30% when 
temperatures topped 30C – a common event this summer.

Emissions from a range of vehicles were found to be many times higher than 
those declared by manufacturers in laboratory tests, confirming earlier 
findings following the 2015 Dieselgate scandal, in which Volkswagen cars were 
found to emit 40 times more NOx on the road than during laboratory tests.

Certain pollutants from motorcycles – often considered a cleaner alternative to 
four-wheeled vehicles – were also found to “greatly exceed” averages for both 
petrol and diesel carssnip

Re: [MBZ] Riken tires

I bought a set of 155R12 Rikens for my 1975 Civic, back around 1985 or so.
Better than the shiny old Dunlaps I took off, anyway. 
Great stuff, considering they were $20 mail order tires.
Somebody with not great taste put five spoke aluminum Riken wheels (with 
Goodyear Eagle tires) on one of my W201s, they seem like decent quality but 
they look so wrong.

[MBZ] 190D fuel gauge

2019-09-13 Thread Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes

The tank sender on the 190D was stuck so I pulled it out and cleaned it 
up as best as I could.  I put it back in and it worked when tank was 
full, but jumped around sometimes.  Now the tank has about 260 miles on 
it so I figure it is at about the half mark. It was jumping around and 
would drop all the way to the bottom, then come back to where the level 
should be.  For the last 40 miles or so it is just completely dead.  
Should I pull the sender out and try to clean it some more, or spend the 
money on a new one?  Or some other issue?

Depends on the exact thermistor and application, but usually on the order of 
hundreds to thousands of ohms.  Should vary with temp, too, quite a bit.

I don't remember if they are positive or negative gradient, but either an open

For euro import car?  Like the slave cylinder - standard part for USA
car did not work.  Transmission, AC, sunroof, etc seems probable the
same USA versus euro import.  Stu was saying the 250 engine parts are
NLA, period.  Sure they make special order parts from scratch but that
is not what I want.

If the needle flickers, the rotational speed of the cable is not constant.

If the rotation speed of the cable is not constant, it will be as if the
vehicle was changing speeds instantaneously -- something it would be very
difficult for the cruise control to follow.

I would first get the cable/speedometer working properly before trying to
see if the cruise control works properly.

Re: [MBZ] 190D new cruise control issue

I forgot to mention, when I tested the actuator that was on the car it seemed 
to pass, but I went ahead and swapped it with another one that always passed 
but that did not fix the original problem so I then replaced the amp. I will 
probably swap back to the original actuator and see what happens

We’re on the car ferry from Orient Point NY now, final destination is South
Kingston for the night.  We drove the 1959 219, which has covered the 150+

[MBZ] Riken tires

This $600E320 has a fairly new set of Riken Raptor tires on it. tirerack 
reviews suggest they are not bad for cheaper tires. Anyone had any 
experience with them?  I have a nearly new set of the Kumhos on the 
$500E300 I could swap but these look OK.

A lot of goods from China are becoming much better than they once were. 
It used to be cheap because it was junk and that was all it was worth. 
We have Princess Auto in Canada and much of the stock that they have 
comes from China and is similar to HF. Their prices are going up as well 
given the Cdn $ is low and the trade has usually been in US $, but the 
product is much better. I know someone who works for PA and he says that 
if I see something new come on the floor, I should resist for a time 
because they go back to the maker and insist upon changes to avoid any 
issues that arise so that they don't have to take a whole lot of it back 
after sale. The Chinese are apparently quite good at responding to 
problems and making the next generation of product much better.

Re: [MBZ] 190D AC

Well problem not solved. It is current 74 and when driving down the highway it 
after about 10 minutes the fog starts followed by snow flakes then freezing up. 
It literally feels like sitting in front of a deep freeze. Compressor still 
appears to not be cycling. Is there a way I can test the evap temp sensor? 
Maybe the wiring repair was not successful so maybe I can test it at the 
connector to see. Otherwise would it be something in the relay or the pbu that 
is not cycling the compressor? I suppose I can also recover the refrigerant and 
charge it again but I do not think that is the problem. If a low charge was 
causing it to freeze up the evap sensor should be cutting the compressor off I 
would think.

[MBZ] 190D new cruise control issue

Yesterday with the brand new rebuild programa cruise control amp cruise worked 
perfectly. Toward the end of the day I did notice some slight surging. Today 
set speed and it surged bad then cut out. When holding accel up it sometimes 
accelerated normal most times surged while accelerating. Before I replaced the 
amp I went thru the tests for the actuator and it was fine.

You could likely make something that would work on top of a floor jack. 
The adapters generally just drop into the hole from which you remove the 
saddle. Bolt on a chunk of 3/4 plywood and put some side rails of some 
sort on or wrap a ratchet strap around it to keep it from falling off.

 They have a bunch of brands now. I think "Chicago Electric" is still the

Re: [MBZ] 722.3 trans update

 Actually I think HF has raised their quality standard significantly. Dad 
bought a battery powered electric chainsaw that I fully expected to be junk 
that is surprisingly good. We've mostly used it for close limbing on trees. Cut 
the branch with clippers, then trim the stub right to the trunk with the saw 
once all the limbs are gone, works a treat.
Based on that I'm seriously considering HF for my next cordless drill. My 12 
year old Craftsman 19v is still going okay but I'm down to one battery and that 
one is starting to get a little soft. They're only NiCd batteries, I wonder if 
its worth trying to rebuild the bad one. I think its just got one bad cell, 
it'll take charge but has no oomph. I haven't checked voltage but I bet its low.

Seller's Description

Mercedes 300td wagon. Engine runs nicely and trans shifts well. But it 
needs work to be put back on the road, it has been sitting for a long 
time. Rust in spots, calipers sticking, windows don't move. Probably a 
parts vehicle. But could be a nice cheap daily driver if a little money 
is invested. Personally I purchased for the engine, but a change in 
business means I no longer have time to use it as I intended.

Re: [MBZ] 722.3 trans update

HF raised prices BEFORE any tariffs.   I suspect there was a 
generational change at the top of HF.

Tropical storm warning issued in Bahamas as potential storm develops

Sept. 12 (UPI) -- Forecasters on Thursday continued to keep a close eye on
Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine, a cluster of showers and thunderstorms slowly
organizing over the Bahamas.

While the tropical disturbance could strengthen and move over the eastern
waters of the Gulf of Mexico, new information suggests it could also become
more organized late this week and perhaps turn northward along the United
States Atlantic coast early next week.

The disturbance, originally dubbed 95L, became Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine
on Thursday afternoon and follows Category 5 Hurricane Dorian, which slammed
the northern Bahamas last week. If this system were to become a tropical storm,
it would be called Humberto.

A potential tropical cyclone means that it is expected to bring tropical storm
or hurricane conditions to land in the next 48 hours, even though it is not yet
a named tropical system.
RELATED Dorian: 50 dead, 2,500 registered missing in the Bahamas

As of 8 p.m. EDT Thursday, the center of the system was about 235 miles
southeast of Great Abaco Island with maximum sustained winds of 30 mph.
Tropical storm warnings have been issued for the northwestern Bahamas,
including Grand Bahama Island.

At this time, there are several large clusters of thunderstorms from the
northern shores of Hispaniola and Cuba to the southern and central Bahamas.

Hurricane hunters began to investigate the disturbance on Thursday afternoon.

"We are encouraging all residents, visitors and interests across the Bahamas,
Florida and Cuba to closely monitor the progression of Potential Tropical Cyclone
Nine," according to AccuWeather Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski.

How fast the disturbance strengthens may help determine its track in the coming
days.

"Should the disturbance remain poorly organized, it has a greater chance of drifting
along a more westward path across southern Florida and into the Gulf of Mexico,"
according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Rob Miller.
RELATED Forests in Grand Bahama unrecognizable after Dorian

"On the other hand, should the disturbance ramp up to a tropical depression or
strong tropical storm, it has a greater chance of taking a more northern track toward the
northern Bahamas and along the southern Atlantic coast of the U.S.," Miller said.

In addition to the strength of the tropical feature itself being a steering
factor, there are other features nearby that are players. One is the western
extent of an area of high pressure over the Atlantic near Bermuda. The other is
a storm in the upper atmosphere over the northern Gulf of Mexico.

The flow between both of these features will create a northwestward drift of
the tropical system. Should the high pressure area remain strong and the storm
over the Gulf move quickly to the west, it could block the northward path.
Should the high pressure area weaken and the storm over the Gulf hold its
ground, the potential tropical cyclone may be forced to take the East Coast
track.
