They are in the ends of the rear bumper cover on our Subaru. Since it uses
microwaves (RF) and the covers are plastic, they are hidden inside - you
can't see them from the outside.

Re: [MBZ] Question For Jaime

Yep, the caustic cleaner for industrial use is around 1.5.    So any 
caustic cleaner would work. no need to pay $13-16 a quart.   The last 
one we used was way-vos  from Birko corp.   I always called it huevos, 
and I suspect a lot of the amigos who use it also call it huevos.   
Caustic cleaner is a commodity.   every seller claims only their has the 
majik elixir, but a look at the MSDS proves my point.

OK it is a caustic cleaner.   I never checked weight or specific gravity 
on the caustic cleaners I was around.   At any rate, that is a lot of 
lye.   The usage rate is 4-8 oz per gallong, so that brings it back into 
the reasonable range.    My guess is that any caustic cleaner 
(industrial) would probably work the same way, and be a whole bunch cheaper.


I forgot to attach the photo of the data plate on the 5 gal US 
cleaner.   If anyone wants to see it, let  me know.  I'll send it 
direct.   That will make Philip happier.

Seems they run 35 to 37khz.   a gallon or so is 44w   THis 5.5 gal one 
is 144W.   seems like 150 or so whould be about right for a 5 gal size, 
and 5 gal would be enough to get most small parts in, but not 6 zyl 
valve covers, heads etc.   Should be able to dunk a wheel carrier or such.


Wonder what it'd cost to get a transducer and a power supply?   Or to 
build a power supply?

Re: [MBZ] Question For Jaime

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

does his have one transducer or multiple transducers?   If you could 
find out the frequency and power ratings of his transducer(s) then you 
could probably make one.   The dimensions of the tub could be important 
too; to be at a harmonic dimension, to reflect waves or at a unharmonic 
dimension to dissipate.


There was a place near where I used to work for a few years that 
reportedly built huge transducers for the USN.   I'm guessing these may 
have been the ones that the "save the whales " people got mad a the USN 
over, because they supposedly damaged whales miles away.    I bet wunna 
dem transducers could peel the crud offn yer parts!

people that remember its still there!

Re: [MBZ] Question for Jaime about COMAND system in 2006 E320 CDI (and for others, too)

[Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes]

I was actually considering one of these before I found my W140 last
month... I think they're quite good cars.  Electronics wise they're fine,
but like any complex modern cars you're best off investing in a OBD2 code
reader.  And there are still lots of electronics to rely on compared to
cars 20 years older.

Dwight answered the COMAND question... since they're Becker units, theres
still service available for them.

Good luck!
Jaime

I can't answer for Jaime but I do know if I go way into my Command system
his name is there as one of the engineers who designed it.
My 2005 E320 just had to have Command system replaced # 167k miles. 300 or
so dollars,for the part plus,about 1 hour labor from my regular MB Indy. I
don't use the navigation so I have not updated the map disks.

[MBZ] Question for Jaime about COMAND system in 2006 E320 CDI (and for others, too)

[Craig via Mercedes]

So I have been looking at the 2006 E320 CDI shown at

https://albuquerque.craigslist.org/cto/d/super-clean-mercedes-turbo/6772652250.html

That looks to be a good example of that year and model, but I'm still
concerned about what I might be getting into with it.

How reliable are the electronics in this?

If something fails, how much would it cost to fix?

Would I need a computerized analysis system to find out what's wrong?

What Baumuster is it?  W210?  W211?  W212?  W220?

How susceptable is it to rust? (The area in North Carolina to which we
will go just got about a foot of snow ...)

I'm still trying to figure out what we really want, but this vehicle
looks like it would be one which holds its value for the resale market.

Or am I all washed up?

Re: [MBZ] Question For Jaime And/Or Dan P

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Something else I would add is that you really need to spend some time figuring 
out how you want to lay out the blog if you’re going that route.  Planning in 
advance for the layout will save you a myriad of headaches down the road as you 
add and make changes to the content.

It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate, but if you make an outline for 
different subjects and content it will help a lot in the long run.  I can’t 
count the number of web sites I’ve set up and later torn down because the 
layout sucked or there were so many changes made to accommodate the content as 
it was added they’re a nightmare to navigate.

I think that generating content (photos and text) is the hard part.  I host a 
couple web sites on a Synology NAS.  The Synology software makes this fairly 
easy.  I use a free web page (html) editor called KompoZer which makes many 
things easy but the resulting code is not as compact as it should be.  I also 
maintain a church site on a remote host and use FileZilla to move files from my 
PC to the host.

Re: [MBZ] Question For Jaime And/Or Dan P

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I think the first thing you have to determine is how elaborate and detailed you 
want to get.  Do you want to be able to post a lot of text with pictures, just 
a bunch of pictures in chronological order with some notes or captions, etc., 
etc.?

If you want maximum control and have some technical ability and a place to host 
it, WordPress is the way to go.  It involves a fair amount of effort to set up, 
but once that’s done it’s relatively easy to maintain.

Wix is a really nice free blogging platform that you can do with minimal effort 
or get carried away. It’s especially nice because it’s optimized for mobile 
viewing, which is the means by which a lot of people will be looking at your 
content these days.

If you just want to post pictures in an album format with small amounts of text 
Flikr works well.

I use web editing software for the blogs on my personal web site, so that’s not 
really helpful, but it’s an option if you’re so inclined.  A lot of web or HTML 
editors for building web sites offer some sort of blog capability, however, 
you’ve got to be familiar with the platform and have a moderately high level of 
ability to use them.

On a related note, one of the best parts about working with these older cars is 
a the provenance.  At least I think it is.  I do my best to document the 
provenance of the cars I own when possible.  Sure, some you just don’t get that 
level of knowledge, but when possible, it’s really cool to learn the history 
behind the car, and it's often a source of enjoyment for the previous 
owners,too.  And while my motivation is not for the monetary value, it tends to 
add value to the car should you ever decide to sell it.  Kudos for doing this, 
I think it’s a really important responsibility for those of us who keep these 
cars running.

Mine is extremely old-school.  I have a site, hosted on an old Mac in my 
basement.
My blog is just HTML 1 files that I hand-edit, very plain and easy to do.  
Photos are
put on the site, and IMG tags used to insert them into the blog.  Doing so now 
is
second nature, and there's not that much to it.  I've been doing mine since 
2000.
It's not fancy, not going to win any awards.  But it works on pretty much every
browser known to man, including the ones for blind people.

What I like about it is that it relies upon ZERO tools that are not under my 
control.
It relies upon ZERO services that are not under my control, except for the 
hosting
of the domain name.  (Well, there's an SSH relay to a friendly site, but that's 
because
of my piratic ISP that raised my ire, and not because this is necessary.)  The 
data is
hosted at home, where I know where it is.  It cannot be lost if somebody goes 
out
of business, suffers a catastrophic meltdown, and/or converts to ransomware.

Just make sure you have good backups of the system, especially your blog data.
I use Time Machine.  Free, and easy.

Nice.

I’m at an obligatory holiday party tonight, I’ll be happy to offer some insight 
into this in the morning.

Neat! 

I have a blog on blogger curtsotherblog.blogspot.com which like so many is out 
of date. I like that its on Google and syncs with my Google account so photos 
from my phone are easily available. The interface has gotten better in recent 
years and only occasionally goes bonkers and drives me crazy.

I often forget to take pictures. For instance today we tightened the driver's 
side track on the ASV which is kind of a pig of a job. I was so busy just 
getting it done I didn't take any pictures...

That sounds great!

My site runs wordpress, which is pretty easy to post entries in once you
get it going, but you do need some kind of service to host it.  I can't say
I'm an expert on the topic, my site is pretty out of date (again!)

Good luck with the car... and i'm looking forward to reading about it!

[MBZ] Question For Jaime And/Or Dan P

[Rick Knoble via Mercedes]

Or anyone else for that matter. I aquired a VERY clean 1984 300d today. It is 
not running, however it is all there. The lady I purchased it from was gifted 
the car by her father some 18-20 years ago. Her father had an extreme passion 
for the marque. He passed away 10 or so years ago, so the car didn't get 
maintenance after that and as such, it has been parked in a climate controlled 
garage for the last eight or nine years. She finally decided to part with it, 
and after seeing it, it is a no brainer to bring it back to life. 

My question is this. How hard is it to chronicle the restoration of a project 
in photographs and a blog? I have never had a blog beyond FB, and I would 
really like to have a record of this, so this young lady can have a reminder of 
her dad on the web. I could tell she was kind of emotional about the whole 
thing.

Re: [MBZ] Question for Jaime and others w. MBUSA connections - or - How to get NLA parts demand onto the MB radar

[Max Dillon]

I think your best shot is sending the note to Tom Hanson and asking him about 
such a demand list.  I think that if you keep your continuing use of a 
Mercedes-Benz at a level of attention with MB (for instance, getting the high 
mileage badges, ordering parts at the dealer occasionally, maybe using the 
dealer service department once in a while or more often if inclined), they have 
a good idea of world-wide population for that model and can forecast parts 
demand so that they can decide when and how much of a part to put back into 
production.

Subject: [MBZ] Question for Jaime and others w. MBUSA connections - or - How to 
get NLA parts demand onto the MB radar

The MB policy of actually supporting their classic community is brilliant, and 
I 
am willing to put my money (within reason) on it. As I posted before, I'm 
becoming impatient with aftermarket parts of questionable provenance and will 
pay a premium for OE quality.

A couple of times now I've gone to order something for my W115 and have been 
told by the dealer that the part is NLA and we even checked with the Classic 
Centre. Two parts that come to mind are the rear seat pads and the speaker 
grill assembly (the one that always shrivels up) on later W114/5 dashboards.

Demand for some items like seat pads must be increasing after being close to 
nil 
for many years. When I did the interior in my W115 I got what World Uplholstery 
said was their last set of rear pads, one of which was a NOS genuine part, the 
other had served as their fitting model when they were testing the covers. A 
friend is getting set to do his W115, and World confirmed that the pads are 
NLA. 
Same story from GAHH and Mercedes directly.

A while ago I happened upon a note from Tom Hansen at the Classic Centre that 
the trim pieces for the R107 were once again available after being NLA for a 
while.

So my question: if the part is NLA, but Mercedes-Benz is restarting 
production 
on certain items according to demand, how does one ensure that this demand is 
actually registered with the company. Is there a way of getting onto a list or 
something so that these parts become available? Or do I just send a note to Tom?

D.

PS: to the joy of W116 owners, it appears that those formerly NLA rear seat 
pads 
are once again available in the aftermarket (and a bargain!). Not sure how 
they'll hold up over time, but better than crumbling vestiges of the original...
