[MBZ] Lost some friends today.

2021-10-21 Thread Peter Frederick via Mercedes
Been a sad day here, my 10 year old tomcat was having trouble breathing this 
evening when I came up from the garage and passed away on the trip to the 
emergency vet clinic.  Vet said it was probably heart disease complicated by 
blood clots, and probably a pulmonary embolism.  He was pretty fat, I've been 
struggling to keep him under 18 pounds the whole time I've had him.  Inherited 
him and three other cats from a friend who passed away suddenly six years ago.  
I still expected him to last a while longer, clean bill of health last regular 
visit to the vet.  

And on top of that, my friend Hans Benden passed away from cancer a couple 
weeks ago, my brother just found out.  He was my source for all things Benz, 
since he graduated from the Mercedes Benz school in Dusseldorf in the early 
60's.  He had stopped working on cars except for a few friends, but still got 
us parts at VERY reasonable cost and provided endless advice.  A very good 
friend, of the best kind, and his widow said he really enjoyed me and my 
brother, sharing car stories and my brother did quite a bit of work for him.  

Reminds me that I'm old.

Peter

Diesel prices are starting to get back to nobama territory, therefore I 
may have to switch to driving the 85 190D 5 speed.

A friend had a new Buick that suffered peeling chrome wheels as well. 
They were factory wheels that came on the car when it was new. He had 
trouble with the tires losing air because the chrome on the wheel where 
the tire bead seated was flaking off.

[MBZ] How not to get a free Mercedes

2021-10-21 Thread mitch--- via Mercedes
Mack Devon Knight applied for the loans in February and March 2021 on 
behalf of Knight's Tax Services and Daddy Earl's Kitchen.


October 19, 2021 at 4:23 pm EDTBy ActionNewsJax.com

CAMDEN COUNTY, Ga.  A Camden County pastor is accused of applying for 
CARES Act funds and using a portion of the money to buy a Mercedes.



Mack Devon Knight, 45, of Kingsland, has been indicted on five counts by 
a grand jury, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's 
Office, Southern District of Georgia.




In the indictment, Knight is accused of "lying to the Small Business 
Administration (SBA) in connection with applications for Economic Injury 
Disaster Loans (EIDLs)," according to the release.



If convicted, Knight could face up to 30 years in prison and financial 
penalties, followed by a period of supervised release.



Knight, who authorities say also represents himself as a mortician, 
restaurateur and tax preparer, applied for the loans in February and 
March 2021 on behalf of Knight's Tax Services and Daddy Earl's Kitchen.



Action News Jax spoke to Pastor Mack Devon Knight in May, when he spoke 
about the investigation into an officer-involved shooting in Woodbine, 
in which his cousin was injured.


Knight is accused of falsely representing "that the businesses each had 
hundreds of thousands of dollars of gross revenue prior to the COVID-19 
pandemic," and then he "made and transmitted to the SBA a falsified bank 
document to deceive the SBA into approving one of Knight's EIDL 
applications," the release detailed.



After receiving $149,900 on behalf of Knight's Tax Services, Knight used 
some of the money to buy a Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan, according to the 
indictment.



"Funding from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Security (CARES) Act was 
provided to help small businesses survive pandemic-related losses," 
Acting U.S. Attorney David H. Estes said in the release. "In 
coordination with our law enforcement partners, we will hold accountable 
those unscrupulous actors who attempt to swindle these funds for their 
own enrichment."



The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Could be cooincidence, but IMO a problem that started a day after a "mechanic" 
had his hands in the engine bay is very likely related to whatever he was 
working on. He probably knocked something loose, forgot to reconnect something 
or didn't get a good connection, etc.

Find out what this shade tree guy was working on, and look at that repair and 
anything else that would have come out or been disconnected or is in the same 
area.

With that kind of miles it’s unlikely to have a bad wiring harness at this 
point - it’s almost got to have been replaced by now. The M103 has valve 
guide/head gasket issues every 150k or thereabouts, so it’s possible it’s in 
need at this point for the second time around. A no start condition is far more 
likely to be one of the items I posted about previously, and a shade tree 
mechanic unfamiliar with these cars could easily miss or be befuddled by any of 
them.

Story sounds a little fishy. Why not have the mechanic correct the problem?

Depends on what "I can not get it started" means. Completely dead? Starter 
cranks but engine doesn't fire? etc.

Could be something as simple as a dead battery, loose coil wire, flakey 
transmission neutral switch, blown fuse, etc.

Need to know more.

Crank but not start? Possibly/probably crankshaft position sensor, fuel 
pressure regulator, bad fuel pump(s), fuel pump relay

Fuel pumps are a couple hundred dollars to do, CPS is a hundred, regulator is 
maybe $50, FPR is maybe $10?

A lot of miles but a solid looking car. I would be all over this if it was 
close by.
