Re: [MBZ] A little wear but otherwise quite nice -- 1993 Mercedes 300 CE Cabriolet - $17, 500 (Naples)

[G Mann via Mercedes]

I like the look of that car... Mercedes got it just right. One of the last
years of building great cars. IMHO...
Didn't someone here have a white coupe version with a "bad engine" cornered
somewhere that was in a wet area they couldn't get their trailer into to
pick it up? It had been setting unloved for a "time"...
What ever happened to that deal?

It looks real nice though. I wonder what the actual issue is and what the fix

'07 & '08 Bluetec doesn't use cat pee. DPF that will clog up if you just
putter around town. Need to run 55 mph + for at least 30 min every
2 fill-ups to keep it cleaned out.
With 195k on the clock I would make sure the O ring seals on the
inter cooler have been changed within the last 1k. The new seals that
MB came out with superior to the 2nd rev. Did mine 2 mts ago. It's a 2
day job.

A number of years ago a friend bought an old 240D sight unseen. His 
daughter saw it and knew he was interested in acquiring another  one so 
she called him and he told her to go buy it. Don't know what he paid. 
Maybe real cheap.
He flew from Winnipeg MB to Vancouver BC and drove it home. He put new 
tires and brakes on it before leaving BC.
He spent the first night in Coeur d'Aline Idaho, and the next morning it 
wouldn't start. He had it towed to a shop and they replaced a glow plug. 
   The next night he stopped somewhere in Montana, and the next morning, 
it wouldn't start again. They replaced another glow plug and the third 
night he stopped in Fargo ND. By now he was afraid it wouldn't start in 
the morning so he let it idle all night in the parking lot of the 
Holiday Inn. He filled it the night before and again in the morning and 
it used about $2 worth of fuel.

On another western road trip he drove an old Porsche 914. It acted up 
and he took it into some little shop along the way. The mechanic who 
worked on it told him, he ought to stop driving it as it was so rusty 
underneath that it might break in two. He managed to get home with it 
but it never got driven again to my knowledge. He was keeping an eye out 
for a better body to swap the engine into but never did it. He has since 
died so I don't know what happened to either of those cars. He had an 
earlier W115  220D as well prior to the 240D referred to above but hit a 
deer with it on the highway and mashed up the front clip. I don't think 
it was ever repaired either. It was under a tarp at his house for a long 
while.

Re: [MBZ] 2005 E320 - 134k miles - $4,300

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 From what I understand the biggest issue with newer diesels is people that 
don't drive enough. The diesel particulate filter (DPF) needs you to do some 
high speed runs to burn out the contents of the filter. If you mostly putter 
around town the filter can't clean itself (the term is regenerate) and will 
eventually plug up.
I've had my 2015 Jetta TDI for almost 3 years now and not had any issues. You 
can smell it if you stop during a regen, the fan will run after you shut the 
car off and it smells a little like old school diesel exhaust. Normally the car 
doesn't smell like a diesel at all.
I took mine on a run to upstate New York a month ago, 6 hours each way, 3 hours 
of which was 85-95mph down the highway, a good way to burn out a lot of carbon.

I correspond with a fellow on another forum who is having a whole lot of 
trouble with a newer diesel SUV. Dealer is struggling to fix it since 
there are no parts available at the moment. Owner is quite frustrated 
since he intended to keep it long term and it is not only causing 
trouble but proving to be expensive to maintain.

Re: [MBZ] 2000 Mercedes-Benz - $1,300 (Cayce)

[Bob Rentfro via Mercedes]

I bought a 300D off of eBay when it first was a thing. It was in San Diego. I 
flew over, dude picked me up, got a flat on the dry-rotted tires. Dropped off 
PO,  bought tires, an oil change, transmission service and a coolant flush and 
fill (drive across the desert to Phoenix  in August…seemed prudent) and made 
the trip to Phoenix, driving through 118 degree nastiness, without fail. 

That was 1994ish. I’m a little less adventurous these days

Re: [MBZ] 2000 Mercedes-Benz - $1,300 (Cayce)

[Randy Bennell via Mercedes]

What could go so wrong that you couldn't get home? Do a bit of an 
inspection before you leave. Change the oil and the transmission fluid. 
Check and maybe replace the differential oil. Should be good to go if it 
runs.


A number of years ago a friend bought an old 240D sight unseen. His 
daughter saw it and knew he was interested in acquiring another  one so 
she called him and he told her to go buy it. Don't know what he paid. 
Maybe real cheap.
He flew from Winnipeg MB to Vancouver BC and drove it home. He put new 
tires and brakes on it before leaving BC.
He spent the first night in Coeur d'Aline Idaho, and the next morning it 
wouldn't start. He had it towed to a shop and they replaced a glow plug. 
  The next night he stopped somewhere in Montana, and the next morning, 
it wouldn't start again. They replaced another glow plug and the third 
night he stopped in Fargo ND. By now he was afraid it wouldn't start in 
the morning so he let it idle all night in the parking lot of the 
Holiday Inn. He filled it the night before and again in the morning and 
it used about $2 worth of fuel.


On another western road trip he drove an old Porsche 914. It acted up 
and he took it into some little shop along the way. The mechanic who 
worked on it told him, he ought to stop driving it as it was so rusty 
underneath that it might break in two. He managed to get home with it 
but it never got driven again to my knowledge. He was keeping an eye out 
for a better body to swap the engine into but never did it. He has since 
died so I don't know what happened to either of those cars. He had an 
earlier W115  220D as well prior to the 240D referred to above but hit a 
deer with it on the highway and mashed up the front clip. I don't think 
it was ever repaired either. It was under a tarp at his house for a long 
while.

Re: [MBZ] 2005 E320 - 134k miles - $4,300

[Randy Bennell via Mercedes]

But then there are new issues . . .
I correspond with a fellow on another forum who is having a whole lot of 
trouble with a newer diesel SUV. Dealer is struggling to fix it since 
there are no parts available at the moment. Owner is quite frustrated 
since he intended to keep it long term and it is not only causing 
trouble but proving to be expensive to maintain.

Re: [MBZ] Car is not running injectors are out of it 1965 Mercedes-Benz 190 E, $4, 000

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

And it's a manny... but some rust in the trunk, so probably also floor pans. 
Figure on some sheet metal repairs plus the engine work, and the interior 
doesn't look in great shape either. Seems expensive considering all that.

Re: [MBZ] 722.3 Auto Transmission Digital Manual

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

yes that is true, assuming his car has the 722.6, which it seems he 
does, he would need to clear the fault and get the TCM happy


If it is a 722.9 the speed sensor can go bad due to a fault in the 
circuitry of the conductor plate and can be repaired.  Lots of shops 
will do it or it appears to be doable at home with some soldering skills

Hi Gang,
    While browsing my files, I came across a digital copy of the 722.3 
Transmission Manual.  If anyone wants a copy send me a note.


    Also, I don't monitor this site very often anymore but I'd like to 
ask list members if anyone has thoughts on what's going on with '06 
E350AWD - have been unable to get it to upshift from low into 2nd  I 
get a code of P0715 which is a code for a speed sensor.  I replaced 
the conductor plate with one from Amazon - someone on PelicanParts is 
saying the problem could be that I need a MB Conductor Plate.  I am 
also getting contradictory comments about the codes - some say I need 
to clear them other say the code will be cleared when the problem is 
resolved.   Just to be safe, I cleared then and took it for another 
test drive -and the problem is still there.


    The car still fails to upshift.   BTW, I also replaced the shifter 
which resolved some problems but not the upshifting.


Any ideas Gang?   I'd appreciate any and all suggestions!  I'm getting 
real tired of seeing that paperweight taking up spa

Re: [MBZ] OT: Atari ST

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Hey Russ,
Thanks for the offer but I managed to score a variety of PS2 mice at my office 
the other day. 

Amazingly the first one I tried worked perfectly. It's an HP brand optical 
mouse, I didn't give it much hope, I'd read that the serial (joystick) ports on 
the Atari ST were low power and couldn't run USB mice so I'd assumed that 
really meant they wouldn't run optical mice. I was pleasantly surprised.
Lit up mouse:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/YVJzgykU3azq7gpp7 

I also found this cool little monitor in my pile o' stuff. I think I'd 
originally gotten it to put into a 9" 
Mac.https://photos.app.goo.gl/g3vc2NhKhcwBFQXd9
It only works in the high res, monochrome, mode, otherwise the sync rate of the 
ST is too slow. I haven't had any luck finding a monitor that supports 15khz 
VGA. I need to make a trip to the thrift store...

In the W210 the TCM's limp-home mode is NOT self-clearing.  Likewise, if the TCM
is dead you get limp-home, which is 2nd and R only in the transmission.  (These

Re: [MBZ] 722.3 Auto Transmission Digital Manual

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

You have to have a good conductor plate, a good connection out of the 
transmission,
and a good TCM.  In the W210, the TCM is prone to filling with transmission oil 
that wicks
up the cable from bad seals in the connector.  The goo eventually dissolves 
parts in the
TCM, which is Not Good.  I doubt the W211 is significantly different in its 
weaknesses,
other than that it IS much fussier about replacement parts.

Re: [MBZ] 722.3 Auto Transmission Digital Manual

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

I have replaced 2 CPs (I’m assuming this is a 722.6?) and that usually resolves 
problems. Could it be a solenoid?  Is the speed sensor a separate part in the 
CP, I can’t remember. Or maybe the TCM itself is bad?  You could try swapping 
one, should be plenty in junkyards or eBay for not much.

Re: [MBZ] Update on the job

Yes there is, as is always true: elsewhere.  Surely you're familiar with it?

I've always enjoyed working for the smaller companies most.  It depends on
the kinds of BS you prefer.

Owner placing ignoramus in charge of other people shows that he has no
sense whatsoever.  Successful family-run businesses start the kids at the
_bottom_ of things, so they learn the ropes.  One that does otherwise is
probably doomed.  Failure to keep promises is equally fatal.  What you have
there is an example of a bad small business.

My cousin did bookkeeping for a local lumberyard when we were in high 
school. The owner told her to get an associate's degree and he'd put her 
in charge of accounting. She did, and the owner gave the job to his 
daughter who had no training or prior employment in the company. She's 
your new boss, now be a good girl and train your boss for me.

That’s the big problem with small/family owned companies. Short of marrying 
into the family, the ability to progress or move up is severely limited or not 
even possible.
