Re: [MBZ] VPN, not political

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

VPNs can and do use port 443, it's a common tactic to "blend in" with
https traffic.

You could try to watch what IP address it's connecting to, and block
that. But that can become a game of whack-a-mole because the provider
probably has more than one IP address.

Re: [MBZ] VPN, not political

Probably. You just have to know what port they’re using, or just block 
everything outside of 80 and 443 and the usual email (25, 465 and 587) ports. A 
lot of VPNs use UDP 500.

VPNs will often use different ports and IP addresses, so it’s really a game of 
whack a mole. If you know what VPN client or service he’s using it’s a bit 
easier, because most will allow you to get a list of their public IPs and then 
you can blacklist them.

Private VPNs make us crazy at work, because we’ll see someone logging in from 
Tampa and then five minutes later they’re polling the mail from Las Vegas. 
Makes all sorts of alarms go off, so we have instituted a policy of no private 
VPN use for connecting to our network.

I would replace the thermostat, they often don't work well after being

During the summer it is indeed warm air to be cooled, but in the winter
it is cold air which needs to be heated.

Re: [MBZ] Update on the 606 with possible blown head gasket

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I did not replace the thermostat now, but did not too long ago and it had the 
effect of the car always running too cool later ran the correct temp. I do have 
another new one on hand. Since I’m draining it again anyway I’m half tempted to 
just go ahead and replace it again.

It is possible that is what he meant but what confused me was 
that he said

If it matters, my filters are all in the cold air return grates, 
not in the air handler.

Since I consider that what returns to the air handler is warm

I think Dan said they're in the room return vents.
(in HVAC speak, supply is what comes out of the heating/cooling appliance
and return is what goes into it)

If you see a reduction of dust accumulation in the living area, the dust
is going somewhere.
If the device is downstream of the existing filters it's not going into
the filters.
Therefore the supply duct walls are a likely suspect.

95 seems kind of hot, but not enough to get worried about.
If it was 90 I might not think anything of it.

[MBZ] Update on the 606 with possible blown head gasket

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

After finally getting all the air out of the system after swapping out the 
radiator it still seemed to get hot to me. Today I swapped out the fan clutch 
with a new acp (?) one from FCP. Box says Borg Warner. Anyway it seems to be 
engaging fine. Let car run for about 20 minutes then let it set idling for 
another 20-30 minutes. Photo attached is about where the temp reached and 
stayed. It’s 93 out currently. Seems normal to me but now my paranoid self from 
reading all the idiotic Fakebook posts about temp has me thinking maybe temp is 
too high. AC was running the whole time also. At this point after screwing 
around with it the system is just about straight water. Tomorrow I’m probably 
going to drain it again then use my new HF vacuum filler to fill it back up 
with the proper ratio. I may drive it around for a little bit then if all is 
good probably take it off the road for some front end work (after I get my lift 
going)

You have to remove the air bag and the steering wheel.

Clocksprings were in use with the W140s as well. They provided connections to 
the airbag as well as position indication for the ECU. Don’t ever take one 
apart, don’t ask me why.

In my MBZ, clocksprings are for horn and airbag wiring. (clocksprings
often get fried when airbags go off, especially modern clocksprings with a
bunch of horn button controls)

The earliest examples of busy clocksprings in MBZ I can think of are
facelifted W210 and W220, when cruise control moved to buttons on the
wheel.

Re: [MBZ] Replacing combination switch E320

That is the device that maintains the electrical connections (for the
airbag, horn, and perhaps other controls mounted on the steering wheel)
between the steering wheel and the steering column.  I don't think it has a
big clockspring in it, I know it does not for my 124 cars.  On my cars, it
has carbon brushes that make the connection with copper rings on the
underside of the steering wheel.

What is a "clockspring"?

Interesting idea.  Could be although I don't think there has been much

Re: [MBZ] Replacing combination switch E320

[Robert Koziak via Mercedes]

I just changed the combination switch on my 2004 E320 because the window wiper 
motor stopped working.  It turned out to be a cut wire which apparently 
happened to quite a few vehicles.  The new combination switch had a slight 
modification.
The steering wheel does have to come off.  I needed a pry bar and a little help 
to remove the steering wheel nut when I reached that step.  There are quite a 
few videos on Youtube that had very helpful instructions.  One work of caution 
is when you reach the removal of the "clockspring"  step be sure to cautiously 
keep it in the same exact position.  I thought I did but when reinstalling it 
made a clicking noise and the airbag SRS light came on.  I needed to purchase a 
new clockspring to complete the job.
Good luck!
Bob

My friend accidentally snapped the combination switch in his 1998 E320

to replace it. I know nothing but perhaps one of you can help.
