Re: [MBZ] Diesel finny

My Dad bought a '69 MB circa 1994, which had no seat belts. We found a set of used belts and installed them prior to drive from CA to WI. The mounting holes were there, so I guess the belts were an option? - Max Charleston SC ___

Re: [MBZ] low flow shower heads

Last summer, our vacation rental had a tinny water heater. Daughter unit found out the hard way that 20 minute showers were not possible. I explained that we'd all need to take Navy showers if we all wanted to enjoy some hot water, and the girls learned fast. Water on, get wet, water off. Apply

Re: [MBZ] Evapectomy

Re: [MBZ] Evapectomy

Well I believe I may still have a leak somewhere. Prime suspect is the shaft seal on this compressor (just did the shaft seal / complete reseal on the compressor in the '95 car). I charged the system with 120 psi of CO2 on Saturday night, by Sunday morning that had dropped to about 25 psi. I

Re: [MBZ] Evapectomy

There are a few mistakes in the service manual procedures that slowed me down a bit. The glove box must be removed to disconnect the right front speaker, the small suction motor for the interior temp. sensor, and the light for the vent control. Removing the glove box (or the airbag on later

[MBZ] Evapectomy

Going to be an expert soon. Tonight on the drive home, AC in the '95 E300 is weak. Put on the gauges, charge is low. Get out the sniffer, confirm massive leak of refrigerant via the center vents => evapectomy time on car #2. - Max Charleston SC
