Re: [MBZ] Got the $600E320 buttoned up -- BATTERY + AA Coupon

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Try a strong solution of baking soda and water... more liquid than a paste,
on corroded battery cables and posts..
The corrosion is sulfuric acid oxide.. baking soda is a base... so they
chemically cancel each other.
Your cables will come quite clean after a soak and a little scrub.

Re: [MBZ] Somebody needs this

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

Absolutely. Drop it on a tube frame, use some modern suspension and drivetrain, 
sleeper hot rod. I got to thinking, pull everything from the wrecked $500E300 
and build it up , that would be so cool.

Re: [MBZ] Got the $600E320 buttoned up -- BATTERY + AA Coupon

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

went and got the battery out of the wrecked $500E300 and have it on the 
charger.


I took out the battery from the $600E320, I had tried to charge it and 
no bueno, so decided to swap in the other one.  the neg terminal that 
was all corroded broke off when I tried to loosen the copper clamp nut, 
so that was a bit of an ordeal to get it out of the clamp.  I've got to 
soak the clamp in something to clean off all the corrosion goop.


It's a Benz battery, I couldn't see a date code on it anywhere, I'm 
wondering if I should go by the dealer and see if they will give me any 
consideration on a new one since this one corroded up and the terminal 
broke.  I've never seen a terminal break off like that.  Weird.  It 
might be too old to trade in for anything but I guess it is worth a try, 
though it seemed to be cranking fine when I went to get the car so it 
seemed like it was holding a charge fine.   If not I'll just take it to 
the scrap yard and get a few $$ for it.


I'm gonna go work on the door latch now, see what's going on with that.

Got more tranny fluid yesterday, I think I have one of those dipstick 
things to check level but I should probably run it a bit to get some 
pumped into the TC, then fill it.


BTW I tried to order the tranny fluid the other day with a 20% Advance 
Auto code but their website was down (how does that even happen?).  Was 
out doing errands and decided to stop by the store, found the code on my 
phone email and ordered it on the parking lot for store pickup.  $30 
jug, $7.50 off, which is 25% so I guess that was a good deal, walked in, 
grabbed the jug, showed the guy the purchase code, was out of there in 
about 30sec.

Re: [MBZ] Fwd: SL diff mounts r129

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

If they have pics, often the auction photo of the doorframe sticker is included.
That's how I found the donors of the fender and hood on my Green-Black metallic 
(Black Opal) ML350. I still can't believe I found two W163s that color in SE 
Michigan. Both were listed as blue, but I looked at dozens of blue MLs to find 
those two.
Mitch.

Re: [MBZ] Painting my alloy wheels.

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

The local refinisher charges 175 per wheel to make them perfect. I can make
them semi perfect for about twenty bucks.

As someone mentioned, use the Würth silver wheel paint as it’s an exact match.

I never primed any of the wheels I painted and didn’t have later issues with 
adhesion. That’s both after media blasting or just painting over the existing 
finish.

Going to attempt to refinish my spare set of alloy wheels by power washing
them, thoroughly drying them and then painting them with an appropriate
silver spray paint. I need something that matches the color of the
originals and is also durable. I wondered whether I should first use a
primer as well. Any recommendations greatly appreciated. This has to be
done at ambient temperatures.

AFIK, all 124 wagons had the dual pump.  I don't think you need a VIN check.

to order it.  Go through five yards, and that gets old quickly.
