Yes, fun picture!  Wonder how many of us have air cooled engine experience?  I've driven and worked on 63 beetle,  71 or so super beetle, 66 van, and a 69 wagon.  Only had one engine blow up and shove a valve out of the head.  Rebuilt one engine. Max Dillon Charleston SC Dec 5, 2020 5:

Re: [MBZ] Actually worked on a Benz today

Nice! I need to get off my rear end and fix the no-start problem on my '95 wagon. Warm air quickly: I plug in the block heater on a timer, so it starts heating the coolant at least 30 minutes before I start driving.  Nice toasty air within a few minutes if not instantly. Max Dillon Charl

Re: [MBZ] OT Redneck engineering advice

I like the first idea.  Maybe sand the white plastic to roughen it, then a few layers of fiberglass wrapping around the perimeter?  After the fiberglass sets, put a couple screws through it into the plastic, one on each side of the crack. Max Dillon Charleston SC Nov 23, 2020 3:23:55 PM
