Re: [MBZ] OT: Garage door mayhem
Did you post this on your website? I've got one garage door sensor that has been on the fritz for a couple years, but we only use the wall mounted button on that side of the garage so we just hold down the button and force it closed. Our sensors have red LED to indicate their state. LED on steady = normal operation, ready to go. Blinking = blockage in the optical path signal (usually leaves that blow in). The one not working has a dark LED, so I'm not sure if the sensor has died or the wiring is the fault, or ?? - Max Charleston SC On Sat, Aug 28, 2021 at 3:47 PM Jim Cathey via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > It's been over a week, and the door has worked flawlessly. > Numerous little 555 boards are available for sale online, > anybody sick of malfunctioning mandated nanny-state sensors > can do this fairly easily.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Garage door mayhem
Did you think of trying to put a hood over the emitter or the sensor, such that they would be shielded as if nighttime (but still be able to see each other)?

My big tip: Be sure you have the right torque values for all the fasteners. My '85 wagon was non-turbo, but I mistakenly used the turbo engine procedure and the torque spec is far higher.

Re: [MBZ] [Daveslist] 606 ip timing
On the peach parts forum, one guy said that he would find TDC (and be able to reset the pointer) by filling that cylinder with motor oil through the injector hole. Take that injector apart, remove the nozzle and holder and all the guts and use the body of the injector to plug the hole, then shove a clear tube over the end of the injector so it stuck up above the valve cover a good bit. Fill up the injector and the tube so you can see the oil move up and down as the piston moves, and then you can move the crank back and forth to find the high point for the oil. Stop there, set your pointer. Next, drain / suck out all the oil, probably end up with a real mess down the exhaust manifold so you may have to figure a way to drain that oil so it doesn't kill the catalytic converter. Replace the injector guts and put that back in place. - Max Charleston SC On Sat, Aug 14, 2021 at 6:19 PM Meade Dillon wrote: > So if the pointer got moved, but the pump didn't ever get moved, then most > likely the chain is now stretched and the pump is late.

Re: [MBZ] [Daveslist] 606 ip timing
So if the pointer got moved, but the pump didn't ever get moved, then most likely the chain is now stretched and the pump is late. So if you just want to take a guess and move the pump to see if you can improve the smoke situation, then I'd say advance it a few degrees and see how she runs. - Max Charleston SC On Sat, Aug 14, 2021 at 6:17 PM Meade Dillon wrote: > Yes you need to pull the vacuum pump, and the nut on the end of the IP > shaft is backward - left-handed thread, IIRC. > > If you go that far and pull the IP, the oil seal (big o-ring) on the > injection pump may start leaking, if you don't replace it. > > - > Max > Charleston SC > > > On Sat, Aug 14, 2021 at 6:15 PM Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes < > mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > >> Either that or the pump was removed at some point and when reinstalled >> was off a tooth.

Re: [MBZ] [Daveslist] 606 ip timing
Yes you need to pull the vacuum pump, and the nut on the end of the IP shaft is backward - left-handed thread, IIRC. If you go that far and pull the IP, the oil seal (big o-ring) on the injection pump may start leaking, if you don't replace it. - Max Charleston SC On Sat, Aug 14, 2021 at 6:15 PM Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Either that or the pump was removed at some point and when reinstalled was > off a tooth.

Re: [MBZ] The 300TurD lives!!!!
ABS light on is probably one of the wheel / axle sensors, or the wires connecting them. My '87 wagon had that light on when I got the car, figured out the wheel sensors were good but the insulation was falling off the wires. Replaced the wires from the wheel into the first connection in the body, and all was good again. So is there a VIN tag by the windshield? Weird that there is not plate in the door pillar, wonder if someone removed it? Stolen at some point?

Yeah I was remembering something like that follower on the inner end, but I really need my "Complete Idiots Guide" exploded diagram to remember. What a great book!

Re: [MBZ] OM606 Serp Belt tension device arm
INA seems to be a good source, they had the right size for the alternator on my '87 wagon with OM603. Not sure if they have a catalog to show all the alternators that they fit. If for your MB, I'm sure they've got one. If another application and the alternator is a Bosch, I'll bet they have that too. - Max Charleston SC On Mon, Jul 26, 2021 at 3:13 PM Craig via Mercedes wrote: > On Sat, 24 Jul 2021 20:03:02 -0400 Meade Dillon via Mercedes > wrote: > > > and I should replace the alternator pulley with the overrunning type > > (OAP) to reduce the wear and tear on the whole serpentine belt > > tensioning system. > > Are these generally available for various types of alternators, or will > one have difficulty locating one for any specific vehicle? > > That question seems rather convoluted and difficult to understand, but I > cannot think of another way to phrase it at the moment. > > > Craig > > ___ > http://www.okiebenz.com > > To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > > ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] W116 door lock gremlin
Is the passenger side really locked? Maybe it is getting partially locked, so it appears to be locked. Stuck mid-way, it leaks off the vacuum and then unlocks.

Re: [MBZ] OM606 Serp Belt tension device arm
Took me about an hour to do this job. Both the old pin and the pivot arm were worn out, so both needed replacing. I probably could have re-used the pulley wheel, but didn't. Next will be the little shock, and I should replace the alternator pulley with the overrunning type (OAP) to reduce the wear and tear on the whole serpentine belt tensioning system. - Max Charleston SC On Sat, Jul 24, 2021 at 10:06 AM Meade Dillon wrote: > No longer has bearings, it's just the arm with a steel sleeve inserted, > and then it rotates a big metal pin.

Re: [MBZ] W124 window gremlins
My idea for the fix is to use wire that has very fine copper strands and silicon insulation, so they are very flexible. Cut out the old harness for about a six to eight inch section that bridges the accordion hinge, and crimp in the new wires, so that one set of crimps is inside the body and the other set is fully in the door. Friend has a pretty new VW Jetta, probably about ten years old or so, and it had a similar problem with electric windows. Suspecting the wires in the accordion joint, I opened up the driver's door and found the problem there. What impressed me was that there was a socket in the body, and the door wiring harness plugged into that socket. Pull out the connector, remove the door panel, and it was easy to see that one could replace the door harness as a unit, including the part that flexes and fails. I'm pretty sure he bought a replacement from the dealer. - Max Charleston SC On Sat, Jul 24, 2021 at 7:15 PM Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > So I had the opportunity to delve into this problem again on my brother’s > 1989 300TE- rear left window going down spontaneously.

[MBZ] OT The Vax
So if the Wuhan Red Death vaccine doesn't protect against infection, it is meant to lessen the severity of the infection, and a person who has been vaccinated but becomes infected can be a spreader... Why are we still worried about wearing masks? If person A is worried about death from the WRD, they get a vax. If person B is not worried about WRD, they don't get a vax. Why do we need masks? The virus is endemic, and will continue to spread (masks may have helped a little but certainly did not stop the spread). Hospitals are not in danger of being overrun.

Re: [MBZ] OT residential air conditioner issue
When the AC is in operation, on my AC, the cold A coil in the air handler will produce a lot of condensate dripping from it, as the warm air hits the cold coils. There is a pan below the coil, which has a drain outside the house. Perhaps your drain is plugged, so the water has found another route? Periodic monthly maintenance here, during AC season, is to put a "pan tab" into the drip pan and drain line, to keep fungus from growing and plugging up the line. - Max Charleston SC On Fri, Jul 23, 2021 at 3:02 PM Randy Bennell via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > My house has a basic HVAC system.

Re: [MBZ] Okie shop flooded
Hope you get that figured out, sounds pretty miserable. Are you allowed to dig out a big pond / drainage area? I'd think about that, create a nice big pond, and then all that dirt that is dug out can be used to build up your levees and such to keep water out of the shop. May need to use some ancient Egyptian technology to get your elevations correct.

Re: [MBZ] OT Web Browser Privacy
I've got some ad blocker extensions for FF, but that's it. The issue is that some websites just never load properly. I'm not geek enough to explain it, but I suspect that newer browsers like Chrome and Edge can do more tricks and tips, and some websites are written to use those features, and they are not written to be "backward compatible" to also work with the older browsers. Some of these are online retail sites, some are social sites, some are news sites.

Re: [MBZ] W124 window gremlins
Agreed, it seems to me that a wiring short in the door hinge accordion joint is a prime suspect. Have a short in the left rear window on The White Whale that tried to strand me with that window down. Had to have someone hold the switch in the up position whilst I flexed and wiggled that bundle of wires to get the window back up, so I could get home to fix it. However, if a lot of stuff is buggered up by previous "mechanics" then all bets are off. One may spend a lot of time finding all the "fixes" done previously and correcting those in order to get the system back into factory spec. - Max Charleston SC On Mon, Jul 5, 2021 at 11:41 AM OK Don via Mercedes wrote: > Switches rarely fail with a closed contact in my experience - they fail by > not making contact when you push it.

Re: [MBZ] OT Electric Vehicles On Collision Course With Reality
Yeah, another point, brought up the late Dr. Marshall Booth, is the road / fuel taxes. He argued this for the "grease kit" fad, that people brewing their own fuel were avoiding the fuel tax at the pump, which pays for roads. Some states are trying to address that with increased registration fees for electric cars, but I'd like to see an apples to apples comparison, of all the state taxes collected at the pump, vs. the delta between the registration fees for electric vs. fossil fuel vehicles. If 6% of the vehicles in CA are EV, then are they collecting 6% of the road fuel tax equivalent? - Max Charleston SC On Fri, Jul 2, 2021 at 5:13 PM Allan Streib via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > It's like "free college" plans.

Re: [MBZ] OT Electric Vehicles On Collision Course With Reality
Most damning, in my mind, are the very regressive policies which make poor people pay for rich people to enjoy electric cars. Poor people pay electric bills, and part of those bills are the infrastructure upgrades to the grid. Middle class people pay taxes, some of those taxes pay for incentives for upper middle class and rich people to buy electric cars. - Max Charleston SC On Fri, Jul 2, 2021 at 3:39 PM Meade Dillon wrote: > Robert Bryce testified before a House committee yesterday on the subject > of electric vehicles. > > > https://docs.house.gov/meetings/CN/CN00/20210630/112853/HHRG-117-CN00-Wstate-BryceR-20210630.pdf > > Robert is one of the country’s most knowledgeable experts on energy, and I > encourage you to read his entire testimony.

[MBZ] OT Electric Vehicles On Collision Course With Reality
Robert Bryce testified before a House committee yesterday on the subject of electric vehicles. https://docs.house.gov/meetings/CN/CN00/20210630/112853/HHRG-117-CN00-Wstate-BryceR-20210630.pdf Robert is one of the country’s most knowledgeable experts on energy, and I encourage you to read his entire testimony. Here are some highlights as summarized by him: * I’m pro-electricity, but I am adamantly opposed to the notion that we should “electrify everything” including transportation. * EVs are cool. They are not new. The history of EVs is a century of failure tailgating failure. In 1911, the New York Times said that the electric car “has long been recognized as the ideal solution.” In 1990, the California Air Resources Board mandated 10% of car sales be zero-emission vehicles by 2003. Today, 31 years later, only about 6% of the cars in California have an electric plug. * The average household income for EV buyers is about $140,000. That’s roughly two times the U.S. average. And yet, federal EV tax credits force low- and middle-income taxpayers to subsidize the Benz and Beemer crowd. * Lower-income Americans are facing huge electric rate increases for grid upgrades to accommodate EVs even though they will probably never own one. * This month, the California Energy Commission estimated the state will need 1.3 million new public EV chargers by 2030. The likely cost to ratepayers: about $13 billion. * Meanwhile, blackouts are almost certain this summer and electricity prices are “absolutely exploding.” California’s electricity prices went up by 7.5% last year and they will likely rise another 40% by 2030. This, in a state with the highest poverty rate and largest Latino population in America. How is racial justice or social equity being served by such regressive policies? * I also talked about resilience, saying “Electrifying everything is the opposite of anti-fragile. Electrifying transportation will put more of our energy eggs in one basket. It will make the grid an even-bigger target for terrorists, cyberthieves, or bad actors. It will reduce resilience and reliability in case of a prolonged grid failure due to natural disaster, equipment failure, or human error.” I also highlighted the myriad supply-chain problems with EVs. Citing work done by the Natural History Museum in London, I said that electrifying half of the U.S. motor vehicle fleet would require in rough terms: * 9 times the world’s current cobalt production * 4 times global neodymium output * 3 times global lithium production * 2 times world copper production I concluded by saying: Oil’s dominance in transportation is largely due to its high energy density. That density and improvements in internal combustion engines and hybrids assure that oil will be fueling transport for decades to come. Powerful lobby groups want Congress to spend billions on electrification schemes that will impose regressive taxes on low-income Americans, reduce our resilience, and increase reliance on China. That’s a dubious trifecta. - Max Charleston SC ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

[MBZ] AC work this past weekend
Finally got hot enough for me to decide to fix the AC in the '95 E300 I bought from Dan a couple years ago. Took all of an hour, if that, to get the compressor out (front seal was leaking). After removing the wiper washer fluid tank and loosening the serpentine belt, I had easy access from above to get all four bolts loose, remove the manifold connection, and also the electrical connection on top of the compressor. And then OCD takes over, and I spent about 5 hours cleaning off the compressor, carefully opening it up, carefully taking it completely apart and replacing every seal and o-ring, and using the proper PAG-46 oil filling it back up with oil. There was some nastiness on the valve plates, kind of burned looking, like maybe the compressor was run low on oil or something. If this thing dies, I'll have to spring for a new compressor I guess. Rebuilt two other compressors and never saw anything like this. The nice thing about these Denso compressors, 10PA-15, is the only special tool required is a belt wrench or a chain wrench to hold the clutch while you loosen the front nut, and then a shaft seal sleave to cover the compressor shaft splines as you press the front case back on with the new shaft seal. Popped that back in, replaced the filter/dryer, then vacuum and fill the system up. Took me about 8 hours all together, but ICE COLD AC is now back. Only weird thing is that the recirculation function doesn't work. Press the button and the light comes on while you hold the button down, but as soon as you let go, the light goes out. Not able to troubleshoot that yet, could be a bad switch I suppose or might be the PBU. - Max Charleston SC ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] 642 slow crank
Well if the battery is charged and passes a load test, that leaves the connections to the starter and the starter itself. Check that all the connections are clean and bright and tight, don't forget the ground strap between engine (or transmission) and the body. On SWMBO's '96 Infiniti, it started cranking over slow and not starting. Turned out that the starter is grounded via the bolts to the transmission, and it is very common to get corrosion between the trans and the engine block. The engine block is grounded to the body. I bought a few generic battery cables, pre-made with ends already crimped on, and added more ground cables from the starter to the engine block and then from the block to the point on the body where the battery is grounded. About $15 in parts and a couple hours later and that starter is REALLY fast and starts the car with no problems. - Max Charleston SC On Mon, Jun 28, 2021 at 3:58 PM Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Driving around with the wife today in the hoovie GL.

Re: [MBZ] W124 rear brake hard lines
That happened to me in my 123 wagon, a rear brake line rusted through and bled out. I drove home carefully, and then put in a new line without dropping the subframe. You'll need to get the car home and then get underneath and evaluate the situation. I'd also ask the guy to try to replace the brake line(s) without dropping the subframe, maybe if he gets a little clever he can do it for you. Ideally you can get an extra long length of line that doesn't have the flare and nut on one end, so you can easily fish that through the tight spot. If the old line is still intact enough, tape a string to it before you pull it out so you can use the string to pull the new line into place. You'll then need to have the nut and the tool to make the proper flare to finish the line. - Max Charleston SC On Thu, Jun 24, 2021 at 8:57 AM Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > So I took the 300D to a mechanic the other day to get the AC working and > he decides to do a check over of the entire car.

0.01 = 1/100 of an amp, that is acceptable and sounds like normal. 0.06 is also not too bad. Sure hope this isn't "fixing" itself while you are looking.

Re: [MBZ] GL amp draw
SWMBO's Infiniti has an alarm system that stays on high alert if anything is open, like the trunk or hood. I was diagnosing a high current drain, decided to ask online in a forum before I spent hours pulling fuses, and got an immediate answer to close all the doors and trunk and then tape down the hood switch so the alarm system thought the hood was closed, and THEN check the current draw.

Re: [MBZ] GL amp draw
Dig online first, figure out what the common reasons are, and try those. You may get lucky. Maybe some computer somewhere thinks it needs to keep working day and night. Radio amp staying on, or something easy like that. Would be nice if someone made a meter adapter for those blade fuses, so you could pull a fuse, stick the adapter in the slot, and immediately see if that circuit is the culprit. What would be really madenning would be a fault such that pulling the fuse will cure the fault, so when you try to measure the draw on that fuse location, you get a normal (probably zero) reading. Did you see if there are any codes from any of the various systems? - Max Charleston SC On Sat, Jun 19, 2021 at 11:21 AM Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Well crap OK.

Re: [MBZ] 2011 Mercedes C300 Air Conditioner issue
Sounds like you need a wiring diagram and the service manual for the HVAC, ideally with the component locations. Maybe try searching on you-tube university? If you can locate the connectors, you can probably spoof the signal to make the system work. For instance, the pressure switch is probably a simple open / closed switch, so either jump the wires or separate the wires to simulate the proper signal. The temp switch is probably a thermistor, so you would need to know the resistance to substitute a resistor, but if there is a computer that is looking for a variable resistance, that probably won't work. However, getting it fixed properly will probably require the refrigerant to be removed, so if you don't have that equipment, take it to someone who does and get it done right. - Max Charleston SC On Fri, Jun 11, 2021 at 7:28 AM Robert Koziak via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Hi all, > My daughter's 2011 Mercedes Benz C300 4matic (w/90K) air conditioner > stopped working a few days ago during a heatwave.

So the body is pretty much a loss, interior is a loss, but you may have a decent engine with starter / alternator, maybe some other useful parts to strip off.
