Re: [MBZ] Pretty green E320 with body damage

That's the color of the e320 I got from Kleb.   I loved the color and the car, but the M014 scared me, and it had been abused.   I am sure it was crushed long ago, but we got it sold before the engine made trouble. Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote on 3/16/20 4:23 PM: Looks like my youngest’s 2002

Re: [MBZ] Ok y’all **it just got real

In germany, the trains are clean, well maintained, and run on time, with efficient and courteous staff. In Italy, the trains run, mostly, except when they don't.  I am not being critical,  It is a cultural difference, and I love both, because they ARE different. One shortline haul, from Foggia

Re: [MBZ] Air filters - OEM or others?

Mann, Knecht, or Hengst are preferred, with mann being the most trustworthy so far.   We in the US may be seeing fewer german brands madein china.  But for now, that is the story. Euan Kennedy via Mercedes wrote on 3/15/20 4:55 PM: Thanks for the assurance and advice about my oily air filter c

Re: [MBZ] crossflow refrig condensor for 134a

this picture of the new one has two lines at the inlet and outlet, so it is apparently a parallel flow The ones in the 87 and 91 300Ds also have two inlet and outlet tubes.   I guess that is why the klima guys don't have a 124 model. So it looks like we are good. Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrot

Re: [MBZ] fan temp sensor W124 OM602

Yesterday the low speed worked when I pulled and replaced the relay k10, with the top sensor pulled and the pressure switch by the dryer jumped.  But then it quit again on the test drive.   I replaced the relay with one I stole from the SDL, but have not driven it yet.   It worked in the same s

[MBZ] fan temp sensor W124 OM602

with cold engine, the fan temp sensor at the top front of the head has 5,000 ohm resistance.   At 80 to 82ºC coolant temp, it is 600 ohms. One wire is at 5v. (From terminal 8 of the ACC PBU.)   The other goes to ground. via ACC air delivery (whatever that is) At infinity ohms (plug unhooked,

Re: [MBZ] crossflow refrig condensor for 134a

hm  maybe that is why your Klima guys don't sell one?   Or is that not the original number for the 87? If that number supercedes the original part in 85-9x models, then it likely is the 134a condensor, while the originals may not have been. I'll try to look at both cars side by side to see

Re: [MBZ] SOT: Ugly German car

looks  like a camry transformer thing with a big hole cut in the front.    Fgly! I can't think of a 4 wheel BMW I like made after 1980, although the 80-2000 ones were tolerable. I don't even like the 2 wheel bmws after the R100, but still would prefer a /6 (or R90S) over an R100 Floyd
