Re: [MBZ] RV ac

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

If the compressor is locking up, which it most likely is, it is cheaper to just 
replace the whole unit. A compressor is about 400, plus install and charge. 
It’s a r22 unit. A whole new 410 or whatever the new refrigerant is would be 
about $660 or so.

Somewhere in a city near you is a shop that works on RV's. Remove the unit
and take it to them to sort out on the bench. Likely cost less that way and
end up with a unit that works. They should have parts in stock or get them
quickly to sort it out.

Re: [MBZ] 1978 450SL - 114k miles - $3,000

[Clay via Mercedes]

I found diluting hydrogen peroxide (normal drug store stuff) with water and 
spritzing offending spots would clear up a stench.  For a Reek, I needed to add 
UV and alternate hydroxy and diluted hi-test rubbing alcohol spritz.  Old wash 
cloth to draw out excess moisture after letting it settle for 10 minutes.  
Could take multiple spritzes.   Rejuvenated lots of carpeting and floor mats 
this way.

I have no pronouns please do not refer to me.

Couple years ago she got to ride the lightning for that.
She found something in the back yard, jumped on her back and wriggled 
enthusiastically. I hit the button within a second of the flop. Went to 
investigate, and it was probably deer poo. Definitely not canine or 
feline.

OT odor issue:
Gave the dog a bath yesterday evening. It's a game we play. I scrub her 
with nicely scented shampoo, she finds something to roll in to get rid 
of the shampoo smell.


Last time it was fresh wet horse poo. That won her a duplicate bath. 
Last night, at bedtime, it was skunk. So weak I think she found some 
grass that smelled skunky and rolled in it. That got her a 2nd bath too. 
But after being in the same room with her for a while the smell builds 
up, even though I can't smell it directly on the dog.


Came home from physical therapy and the house really stunk. I guess I 
get used to it, but a couple hours away from home and I'm not used to it 
anymore. Need to buy a bath size bottle of peroxide this weekend.

Re: [MBZ] Toyota disgusts me.

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

Buddy of the youngest son has the domestic equivalent of the HiLux from the 
early 80s. He’s a water treatment guy at the Grand Canyon. The truck has over 
400k on it and looks like it, but it still runs like new. He maintains it well 
and says it’s never left him stranded. Youngest son got to learn how to drive a 
stick in it.

I had a 1970 Toyota Hilux back in about 1974-75. It was a beater but it 
didn't cause a whole lot of trouble. A good little truck but little was 
the word. Small cab and small box.
It was the one with the turn signals mounted on top of the front fenders

You can't get rid of cigarette smell without a wash.

ozone, coffee, etc.

Re: [MBZ] 1978 450SL - 114k miles - $3,000

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

If you guys remember Tarek, I bought his 1995 S500 coupe when UPS shipped him 
off to mainland China.

Unbeknownst to me before I bought it, he must have smoked like a chimney. That 
car reeked of cigarette smoke, so badly you could smell it when you stood 
outside by an open door.

I ran an ozone machine in it for two days. That did make a difference, but 
whenever you sat down in the car you would smell it because you were disturbing 
the upholstery padding and releasing new “smoke smell”. When I parted it out 
several years later I could still smell smoke in the innards when I was 
disassembling it. Ugh.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Garage door mayhem

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

That’s what I tried but I don’t recall if it worked or not.

I would get sunlight falling on one of the photo devices late in the afternoon 
in the fall and spring. The door would start to move down, then reverse and do 
the “blinky light” thing to let you know it had reversed. You could try it 
multiple times and it would eventually work.

It happened so infrequently I never really worried about it - I was always 
reminded when it occurred and would make a mental note to check it out. Then I 
wouldn’t be able to repeat it.

the key was lost.  It sat on the dock for 3 weeks awaiting a replacement so

Re: [MBZ] 1978 450SL - 114k miles - $3,000

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 A good plan when there is just an odor, if it's cigarette stench the schmoo 
that is glued onto everything needs to be removed before the stink will go away.
Last year I had trouble with water intrusion into the back of my 2010 Dodge 
RAM. I finally discovered that the third brake light was leaking. After I fixed 
the water intrusion I made little packets of coffee in a coffee filter folded 
over and taped and scattered them around the interior. About the only thing 
Choc'full o'nuts is good for. Well, you get the can...

 Yup, the magic of Windex.
I bought a lantern one time and when I opened the box the STENCH of cigarette 
smoke was overpowering. I put the open box outside and soaked it in Windex. 
Gloved up and pulled the lantern out, gave it a good wipe down with more Windex 
and it finally didn't stink too bad.

I found that liquid Windex removed cig residue and smell from used darkroom

Re: [MBZ] OT: Garage door mayhem

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

When I was a kid (maybe 10 or so?) and back when Radio Shack sold electronic 
project kits, I built an "electric eye" alarm kit. The light beam was from an 
incandescent bulb behind a lens, both it and the detector (I think it was a 
photoresistor) were mounted in tubes about 3 inches long or so, the purpose 
being to shield the detector from extraneous light. It would work across a span 
of 6' or so.

What I remember about that kit was that the instructions were pretty good, and 
it did actually work when I was done, but they didn't really explain the 
electronic principles. So I didn't learn much beyond organizing/identifying 
parts, following instructions, and soldering.

Tried that last time, didn't help.  Wife got disgusted, called door repairman 
while
I was at work.  Spent plenty of money and had the sensors replaced.  Lasted a
year or two, then started the same BS again.

That's exactly why it's not done that way.  Also, with this system you only 
need two
wires, both sides of the door are hooked to the same two wires.  Multiplexed.  
Saves
wire and simplifies installation.

first, a 1984 Ford Tempo, I made a solution of white vinegar and water and 
scrubbed everything with a sponge until the water got so nasty I couldn't stand 
it. I think I went through 6 or 7 buckets of water, maybe 2 gallons of vinegar.
I let it all dry and did it again, I think the second time only took 2-3 
buckets, less than a gallon of vinegar.
The second, an '88 GMC S15 Jimmy had vinyl seats and a rubber floor mat so it 
took MUCH less scrubbing to get the stink out of although that one, 
interestingly, I had to spend more time scrubbing the ceiling to get the stink 
out.Oh and it had a persistent smell I couldn't figure until we finally took 
out the spare tire and scrubbed it. Dang cigarette smell really does latch on 
to everything.

Re: [MBZ] 1978 450SL - 114k miles - $3,000

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 I forgot about the enzymatic cleaners, we've used one for quite awhile for 
"dog stains". Our kitchen used to be carpeted and I swear the dog would save 
up, come inside and barf on the rug...
I don't know if I've told the story here but literally the week I bought our 
2010 Dodge RAM a Kirby vacuum salesman showed up at our door to do a "free one 
room cleaning" so I unleashed him on the kitchen carpet. Sonofa gun got every 
single stain out, I was pretty impressed by their system. We've got central vac 
so there was no way I was going to BUY their thing but it seemed to work good.
The very next day the dog threw up on the carpet and made a new stain...
I was so happy to be rid of the rug, there was hardwood underneath. Our 
"contractor" did a lousy job on the floor but thats another story.

I like cats, and I bet I could smell it anyway.  And hate it.

Take bench with you, and sink it in a local river and pin it down with rocks.
Enjoy your day at the river.  Bring it back home and dry it out.  Repeat as
necessary.  Maybe a little ozone treatment too.

We have four of these openers, only one of them (the most used) has these 
problems.
Your advice certainly applied to our 70's-vintage RadarRange, which we use 
daily.

I think the photo switch 'safety' is basically stupid.  Similar to the AFD 
circuit breakers
that are now standard for _all_ circuits.  I hate them.  What happens when you 
switch
on or off a light?  A small arc in the switch.  Which the breakers detect, and 
then plunge
the entire room into darkness.  Take a good idea, execute it past the point of 
utility
into ridiculousness, and then nail it in place with legislation.  You can 
probably find
many other parallels, if you try.

 They can't really control who buys them though. What can they do, not sell to 
the middle east? So Nissan becomes the Taliban truck of choice, or Ford or 
whoever.Or they just import them from outside of the region, they already know 
how to smuggle.
It's just a thing, that gets used by people, like a big Mercedes sedan for the

It’s too late for this one, but in the future and for reference for others, 
explore the possibility of buying a pump from the dealer. It’s close to the 
same price as aftermarket, and the guarantee is better.

I make a cardboard template of the pump and poke holes in it for the bolts, 
then put each bolt in it’s respective location. Makes it a lot easier to put 
everything back together.

No gasket sealer. I believe the rubber seal is the correct one.

Can’t offer torque values, but I’m sure you can find the operation online with 
them.

Get a new timing cover oil seal and replace it while you’re there. It’s 
probably leaking but if not, will be.

Hi All,

making a cardboard of the gasket to place the 15 bolts as they are removed due 
to the various sizes.
1 - There are two gaskets in the Laso water pump box, one rubber and one 
cardboard.  Why?  Should I use gasket sealer?
2 - Torque specifications for the bolts etc?
3 -  Any other suggestions, videos or instructions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

No worse than the time I tried shutting the garage door with the tailgate of my 
wagon still open.

Ouch.

The light sensors are mostly useless if you set the downforce properly. 
I back off on it until the door won't close reliably, then turn it up 
until it does.


Funny story: my bosses' husband bought a new Tahoe last winter. Two days 
later the kids couldn't get the door to shut, the pressure sensor kept 
opening it back up. Hey dad, enjoy the first scratches in your new 
truck, you left the bumper in the way of the garage door.

I had issues in a previous home at certain times of the day/year where one 
sensor would get sunlight into it and get wonky. Once I established the cause I 
just ignored it, as it didn’t happen that often. I would just have to remind 
myself as it only happened a couple times a year - sort of like Stonehenge.
