Yes,  Becker Audio is a great supplier.  They have a presence in the Bay of 
Fleas.  Retail pricing, but it will be as new and could even be enhanced with 
USB/Bluetooth.  I had a pair of radios they did rebuilds on.  Look and work as 
new.  One is living in the 450SL.

I have no pronouns please do not refer to me.

My dad had one of those for awhile, gold and white or cream, gold interior, I 
really liked it. Drove it a few times. All those old cars... should have hung

Re: [MBZ] Well poo.

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

That is strange, I have never had any issues clearing codes with DAS.  
Maybe 99 is some strange year between DAS and HHT.  I think all modules 
on any 163 I have worked on have been accessed with DAS, but 01 and up 
is the only ML I have worked on.

Re: [MBZ] Well poo.

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

I “cleared” the codes (it was contact problems with a bunch of solenoids which 
is usually the conductor plate although I guess it could be the cable or TCM) 
with the iCarsoft, it said they were gone. I put the DAS on it and found them 
though so I guess the little unit did not clear them even though it said they 
were clear.

DAS was trying to do something with HHTWIN but there’s no 163 chassis choice in 
there. I got back into the main DAS and could see the codes from there in the 
trans ECU scan. I tried to clear them with the DAS but it said it couldn’t. 

This is making me crazy.

Re: [MBZ] Well poo.

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

You need Xentry to clear tranny codes, not sure if car soft will do it. In any 
case were the codes related to conductor plate? You probably would not know 
that for sure either without Xentry.

Just discovered this while cleaning up some rust. Wonder when they stopped with

Re: [MBZ] Clear coat thinner?

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Before you go adding a thinner, confirm what the paint actually is...
Almost all the modern auto paints are water based [due to EPA VOC [Volatile
Organic Compound] Rules which bans sale of VOC based paint].
If the clear coat paint in the "kit" is a material that is partnered with
the base coat... likely it also is thinned the same as base coat...
Check material... then proceed with correct thinner..  Suggest you will
want to contact supplier directly to confirm details.

Not me. I would give anyone at least $500 for a good 
clean rustfree 300TD. As long as the AC and everything 
else works.

Re: [MBZ] URO w124 grille

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Shoot some Fluid Film on it from the backside, maybe that'll help prevent some 
rust. I've found Fluid Film (or Wool Wax which is pretty much the same stuff) 
to be pretty handy to have around. It does smell like sheep for a couple days 
but thats a pretty small price to pay I think.

Re: [MBZ] holy crackamoly

Not rare at all. Looks like it has been sitting under a tree for years. It’s 
about a $4-50 car all in. The buy it now on this one is $1500 which after 
auction fees is around $2200.

Re: [MBZ] Clear coat thinner?

Walk through a Lowe’s Home Despot or Ace Hardware. They’ll all have an aisle 
that’s lined with chemicals like this. Acetone, naptha, etc., it’s all there.

Re: [MBZ] URO w124 grille

Not easy to find, and often pricey. People will see the OE prices and try to 
price used accordingly.

And because some of us are cheap.
