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 Charleston

[MBZ] Actually worked on a Benz today

At long last I replaced the coil in the TE, wanted to some time back but my friend Hans talked me out of it, he suspected fuel injectors instead to account for the rough idle and other assorted ills, including difficulty setting the mixture on the KE-Jet. Popped it in, charged the battery

Yeah the suspension is shot but would need to diagnose To figure out what part of the system is bad Might be worth $500 if it is otherwise ok. Shocks would run about $1200. --FT Sent from iPhone > On Nov 29, 2020, at 5:10 PM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > wrote: > > On 2020-11-29 15:40,

Re: [MBZ] Actually worked on a Benz today

Mostly short trips in the Golf? Angie's '03 makes plenty of heat but not for the first couple miles. My '15 makes excellent heat and pretty quick but I think its got the extra injector running to heat the engine up faster. Fuel economy suffers in the winter, even worse than you'd otherwise

Re: [MBZ] Actually worked on a Benz today

I don't think "toasty" is in the cards for an '04 Golf TDI, they are well known for lack of winter heat. Almost as bad as a Geo Metro in Canada, a buddy of mine had one and the temp gauge would slowly drift down on the highway in the winter. Driving if 4th may help, but that tends to kill

Re: [MBZ] Diesel Generator

The one I had was purely mechanical injection, Shutdown was a manual lever that was mounted on the injection pump. It had an electric starter AND a pull starter, it also had a compression release so you could pull it through with the pull starter. Very primitive design... third world stuff.
