Supposedly g05 is nearly identical and can be used. I know it’s a lot cheaper

Re: [MBZ] Yay me!

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Yeah aliexpress.  I bought some steering wheel switch covers for the 
S550 but have not put them on yet.  Proper color, were like $3.50 for 
the set.  I got a new headlight switch surround too but it was darker 
than the color of the trim (but it was cheap!).  They probably have the 
steering wheel switch covers for a 211.

Might not have been for this model, though. Interestingly, Mercedes sells these 
switches as a set, not individually. Every other model I’ve had with the 
steering wheel switches you could buy them separately.

I’ve got a busy weekend ahead of me, too, with a bunch of goodies to be

ML550 gets dropped off at the tint guy so he can tint the front
windows, as the car lived in NY, which doesn’t allow front windows to
be tinted. I didn’t think it would be that big of a deal until I was
driving it this morning around 8:30 and the sun was already heating up
my arm. Fuggedabout it!

On the E320:

Plastic trim surround on front seat - damaged by previous owner/wear
and tear, I presume. Also includes a new storage “door” on the lower
front of the seat, as the pivot is part of the surround piece.

New (spare) tire is at the tire place. I’ve got a valve for it (the
spare tire valve is unique and not a common valve) I’ve got to drop off
and they’ll mount the new tire.

New “zoom tubes” for the engine (plastic tubes from the radiator
support to the air cleaner.) Both were brittle and cracked and needed
replacement.

New air cleaner/MAF sealing ring on bottom of air cleaner. Important
part that turns to stone as it ages from engine heat.

Updated oil filler cap with the taller “handle” that makes it much
easier to turn. I retrofit these to all my cars (000 010 13 85 64) so I
can get the oil filler off without using a slip joint pliers.

New Bosch wiper blades. Can’t stomach $50/set my cost from the stealer.
There’s a limit to my willingness to buy OE parts I can get in the
aftermarket.


On the ML550:

New air cleaner/MAF seal. Really didn’t need one as someone has been
caring for the one on the car, but it never hurts to have a spare

New LED strip for the driver’s mirror turn signal. The lens is missing
from the one on the car, a pretty common occurrence.

New “puddle lamp” bulb for the driver’s side mirror. Gonna be in there,
might as well replace it.

New center console latch. Existing one has a broken hook.

Right hand “zoom tube” - original one is cracked.

Lever and retaining ring for lumbar adjustment on driver’s seat. Missing.

New left side telematics buttons for steering wheel. Originals have
worn off icons.

New lower steering wheel spoke trim. Originals are cracked and the
“chrome” is peeling.

Emergency response QR code label - these are $0.15 and I make sure
they’re on every one of my cars. They go on the inside of the gas
filler door and allow EMTs to scan to get diagrams of where to cut the
vehicle open for extractions as well as the locations of fuel tank and
batteries. Mercedes makes them for everything from the W210 up. They
used to be free for the asking...

Screwdriver bit 126 589 00 10 00 - the #27 Torx driver used to unscrew
the screws that secure the airbag. It fits all airbag-equipped cars and
makes it a lot easier than using a regular Torx driver. Been meaning to
buy one of these for a long time…

I’ve got the new spare tire and wheel coming in, but they’ve got to
mount the tire and that won’t happen until Wednesday of next week. I’m
sure I’ll need some additional items by then.

On top of all this I’ve got some detailing supplies coming in for
refreshing the black plastic trim on the ML550.

Now if someone will only come and buy the SL500!

Fired the car up and it ran well, temp was coming up as expected. PS pump needs 
more hydraulik oel as it was low and Not Happy, some leaked out as I was 
swapping lines. Transmission needs more fluid as some seems to have leaked from 
the damaged cooler.  I noticed that it was spewing initially when I looked at 
the car.  I think I’ll try to add more through a cooler line instead of from 
underneath as ist in ordnung. Gonna change it soon anyway so should be OK for 
short test drive.

Only thing left is install the headlights and front bumper, not a lot to that, 
and to bang out the bent safety latch/distronic support to use until I can find 
another one. I’ll go at it tomorrow. BFH time!  And maybe put the welder on it

Re: [MBZ] OT: Pisten Bully update

Yup, big sheet of cardboard.

In the time we ran it I could detect no leaks. Fortunately it's pretty easy to 
see from the front. I haven't been back to look at it, maybe tomorrow...

No idea, I saw it on a YouTube video once and it stuck in my mind. It's several 
times more expensive than regular RTV but for something like an oil pan it's 
far easier to use, especially when laying out a thin bead.

DM me the VIN and I’ll look them up for you. You’ll likely never find them on

I'm thinking that is bits of glass from the shattered sunroof. So assume that 
the interior is wet now also, unless he's keeping a tarp on the car.

Dan -- you mentioned replacing the steering wheel buttons, having trouble 
finding these on  the dealer part sites. Looking mostly to see what they cost, 
on the E500 they have the icons rubbed (mostly) off and if the switches (or 
ideally just the covers) are cheap enough I might replace them.

I found the torx bit you recommended, and the flexible tube on the air intake 
that I need (right-hand one is cracked). Also threw in an air mass sensor 
gasket (112-159-01-80-64, is that it?) since it's cheap.

This is what you need:


[46149_zzz_500.jpg]
6.25 gallon Oil 
Extractor
harborfreight.com

I have one at each house. Works great, takes minimal space, holds 6 gallons of 
fluid. Not cheap, but if you play the coupon game you can get a good deal on 
it. Air requirements are minimal, too, my little 2 gallon Campbell-Hausefield 
“sausage” compressor at the FL house has no trouble getting it to pull a vacuum 
in short order.

[MBZ] Coolant for M113

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

Planning to change the coolant in the '04 E500 just so I know how old it is.

FCP Euro is recommending G48 and Zerex website recomends G40 but also lists G48 
as "compatible"

Not sure what's in there now, at a glance it looks like yellow (G05?) or green 
or a mix? Going to suck some out and see.

I'm tempted to go with the G48 (blue) as that is also used by my Volvo.

Re: [MBZ] Oil sucker

I always find it difficult to get the filter housing back into place. 
The opening does not allow much room so you have to mostly work by feel. 
If the car was on a hoist, it likely would be an easy task but on the 
ground, I don't find it to be easy. I only do it about once a year so I 
don't get a whole lot of practice.

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

On either of these recalls. What is the sunroof is not delaminated now and they 
compete the recall, but on 2 years it is? Same with the booster. What if it’s 
not rusted now but is down the road?

[MBZ] OT: Pisten Bully update

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

I don't remember where I left you guys on the Pisten Bully saga. I pulled the 
oil plan on Jan 28. We sent it out to be welded which was done last Friday. The 
guy said it was terrible to weld, lots of oil in the metal. It's probably a 
strange aluminum alloy too which doesn't help. He baked it for like 2 days and 
finally just plated on the inside of the break and epoxied over all the weld. 
It looks terrible but I suspect it'll be strong.

So last Sunday (Feb 4) we put the pan back in. The process was pretty simple. I 
bought the spray cheese type Super Black RTV 1 minute gasket maker. It's 
supposed to have a 5 minute working time but at 40F ambient it takes a bit 
longer. That worked a treat and was way easier to apply than the tube stuff 
would have been. I also spent a bunch of time cleaning the mating surface on 
the engine.

Amazingly the machine popped and fired immediately but didn't want to stay 
running. I think that was mostly due to thick fuel, it got down to -16F Friday 
night with a daytime high of 12F Saturday. The air temp was a lot warmer Sunday 
but I bet it took awhile for that fuel to warm up.

Ben reported we still didn't have any oil pressure and so we farted around 
assuring ourselves we did. The oil filter on that machine has a bleeder bolt on 
top so we loosened that and it POPPED oil out so we definitely had pressure. 
Turns out buddy Ben was looking at them temp gauge.

Finally got it running good and I think it's actually a little quieter before, 
a good oil change will do that...

Ran it for a good hour under load and Ben reports that it runs about the same 
as it did before. 2.5 bar oil pressure at hot idle which to me says we dodged 
the bullet and didn't do any serious damage.

Anyway, time will tell. We'll run it some more and do an oil change, I bet some 
schmoo has moved into the filter...

-Curt

Probably varies by engine, not all are designed for topside oil extraction?

Re: [MBZ] Oil sucker

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

yeah on the Benzes the tube goes all the way to the bottom of the pan, 
so it will suck out everything.  I have a 3/8" (?? I think) plastic tube 
that fits in tightly, and the other end goes to a barb fitting on a 
refrigerant tank, I drilled a hole in it that a small vac hose fits 
into.  Heat up the engine to get the oil thinned out then turn on the 
vac and go have a beer or do something else.

Most probably do, but even the MB dealer sucks from the top of the dipstick 
tube.
It's that reliable.  Not, however, on the W114/W115, which pre-dates this 
system.

Re: [MBZ] Safety recall notice

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

Yeah, I can never remember to pop the hood and pull the piece of tape off the 
booster to look for corrosion. It’s the joint between the halves of the 
booster, where under some circumstances moisture could collect and cause it to 
rust. It’s covered by a piece of tape that they pull off to do a visual 
inspection. If they see rust they consider the car VOR (vehicle off road).

The sunroof recall on W211s is for delaminating of the glass. If they see it 
they replace the sunroof.

The GL had one, took it by the dealer and they just look at the booster. Ours 
was good.  On the 211 they have a sunroof recall. All that involves us 
inspecting the roof to see if it is coming loose. I thought there were parts to

Re: [MBZ] Mobil 1 e320 hovercraft with fries

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

VW TDI engines are rated for 10,000mi OCI in the USA and 30,000 (or presumably 
whatever that is in Km) in Europe. Mobil doesn't have a VW rated oil though. 
Supposedly the difference is because VW figured no Americans will ever read the 
manual...

IIRC the Mobil literature says "Up to 20,000 mi". If supported by oil analysis 
I don't see a reason you couldn't do it.

You do not need a tube that does all the way to the bottom. You will get all
