Re: [MBZ] '06 320CDI
True. Here's the deal: When I got the car, the only thing that didn't work on it was the parking brake. You pulled on the release and it just slid right out of the dash. Pressing the pedal down applies the parking brake, but it doesn't latch. I removed the release handle and found that the cable was disconnected. I reconnected it, only to now have a release handle that sticks out of the dash 2-3, and still doesn't release the parking brake, which also continues not to latch. On two occasions I've pulled the knee bolster out to get at the parking brake pedal, but it has a plastic cover that goes around it that has to be removed before you can get to anything substantive. After laying on my back under the dash and hanging out of the door opening for 30 minutes, I'm done. Without removing this cover you can't do a thing down there. Now I know why this was left unresolved. Even the PO's indie probably didn't want to deal with it. Maybe when the weather cools off I'll take another shot at it. I'm confused as to why it won't latch, or if it got jury-rigged not to since the release cable doesn't work Dan Sent from my iPad On Jul 27, 2015, at 5:40 AM, Rick Knoble via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com wrote: Dan I'm not OCD, I'm particular Man writes: I’m just living with it, as much as it pains me.

Re: [MBZ] '06 320CDI
True. That could very well be the case, but without getting the whole assembly out or at least being able to access it, I can't tell. The release cable is buried in the pedal assembly somehow, and even requires a special tool to remove and install it. There are two bolts that hold the whole thing in place, but without removing the plastic cover that surrounds the whole pedal assembly you can't get to the top bolt.

Re: [MBZ] '06 320CDI
I've heard that before on this list, but I use it on locks and everything else since it first came on the market and have no problems. WD-40 contains a very light oil and probably leaves a little residue, but how many of the millions of people who use WD-40 have problems with that residue? If a mechanical part has a very tight fit I can see how someone could have a problem with WD-40 residue. WD-40 started out as a water dispersant for missile nose cones but quickly became the very popular solvent/lubricant it is today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WD-40 Modern industrial society may not be possible without WD-40 which seems to have an infinite number of uses. Here are only a few of them: Attract fish. When sprayed on fishing bait, WD-40 covers up the scent of human hands on the bait to better lure fish, according to USA Today. The WD-40 Company receives hundreds of letters from consumers confirming this use, but prefers not to promote WD-40 as a fishing lure since the petroleum-based product could potentially pollute rivers and streams, damaging the ecosystem. Cure Mange. While spraying a dog with WD-40 gets rid of parasitic mites, according to USA Today, the WD-40 Company, feeling that the potential misuse of the product is too great, refuses to condone using WD-40 to cure mange on animals. Prevent squirrels from climbing into a birdhouse. Spray WD-40 on the metal pole or wires. Remove a ring stuck on a finger. Several medical journals claim that WD-40 is the perfect cure for a toe stuck in the bathtub faucet, a finger stuck in soda bottle, or a ring stuck on a finger. Remove chewing gum, crayon, tar, and Silly Putty from most surfaces. Spray on WD-40, wait, and wipe. Zipper won't zip? WD-40 will let it zip again. Clean decorative snow from windows. Spray windows with WD-40 before spraying with artificial snow so the decorative spray will wipe off easier. Prevent dead insects from sticking to your car. Spray WD-40 on the hood and grill so you can wipe bugs off easily without damaging the finish. Make hangers glide over a clothes rod. Spray WD-40 on the clothes rod so hangers can be pushed back and forth easily. Clean clogged spray paint can nozzles. Remove the nozzles from the spray paint can and the WD-40 can, place the nozzle from the spray paint can on the WD-40 can, give it a couple of quick squirts, and replace both nozzles. Remove oil spots from driveways. Spray with WD-40, wait, then blot. The mineral spirits and other petroleum distillates in WD 40 work as a curing agent. Thread electrical wire through conduits. Spray WD-40 on the electrical wire to help it glide through winding conduits. Prevent grass clippings from clogging up a lawn mower. Spray WD-40 on the underside of lawn mower housing and blade before cutting the grass. Clean sap from gardening equipment. Spray with WD-40, wait, and wipe clean. Prevent mud and clay build-up on bicycles. Spray the bicycle with a thin coat of WD-40. Remove baked-on food from a cookie pan. Spray WD-40 on cookie pan and wipe clean. Then wash with soap and water. Remove dirt and grime from barbecue grills. Remove the grill from the barbecue, spray with WD-40, wait, and wipe clean. Then wash with soap and water. Remove chewing gum from the bottom of a shoe or sneaker. Spray on WD-40, wait, and pull the gum free. Keep dogs, maggots, and flies out of trash cans. Coat the trash cans with a thin layer of WD-40. Take squeaks out of new shoes. Spray WD-40 into the leather and shine. Remove grease stains from linen. Spray WD-40 directly to the stain, rub it in, let is soak for a few minutes, then wash through a regular cycle. Take squeaks out of a box spring mattress. Remove the fabric covering the bottom of the box spring mattress (by simply removing the staples), and spray the springs with WD-40. Staple the fabric covering back in place with a staple gun. Clean crayon from a blackboard. Spray WD-40 on the crayon marks, let soak for 10 minutes, then blot clean with a cloth. Free a tongue stuck to frozen metal in winter. Spray WD-40 on the metal around the tongue. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gerry - WD40 is not the stuff to use. It is a Water Displacer and dries to gunk that is worse than the previously stuck condition. PB might be a bit better, or the acetone/transgendered fluid mixture. --R Dan wrote: I removed the release handle and found that the cable was disconnected.

Re: [MBZ] '06 320CDI
I can identify with this. While I like my S430, it’s completely soulless compared to earlier models. Other than the hood star there is nothing, and I mean nothing, that makes it stand out among other cars. As for crap I can’t say, as I haven’t had any issues with mine so far (knock on Zebrano or whatever it is they have in them now.) Mine was pretty well gone over by the previous owner and any issues addressed, so it’s in good working order with the exception of the parking brake, who’s release cable is screwed up somehow. I’ve been under the drive’s side dash twice to investigate, but for the life of me I can’t get close to the darned thing, there’s so much crap in the way. I’m just living with it, as much as it pains me. The car does run well and gets god gas mileage considering the size and weight. I pretty much get 20+ MPG a tank with about 50-50 mixed city/highway driving. It’s comfortable and has all the appurtenances you would expect in an S-class. It’s just not unique in any sense of the word. It might as well be a Ford Taurus in some respects.

Re: [MBZ] '06 320CDI
My $0.02 is the E300 you already own. The newer Benz are crap. I am ashamed to say that I was heading to my S430 in a parking lot and tried to get into a Kia sedan. The look and everything just screams cheap korean car. The W210 is junk, and the W211 is not going to be less plastic and kruft than the W220. I was getting 36mpg highway in the W124. I doubt the newer diesels get anywhere near that distance clay 2002 s430 - Victor, a Stately well tailored chap 1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green 1976 300D - Blei Vanst - it looks silvery 1972 220D - Gump - She was green, simple and ran 1995 E300D - Gave her life to save me against a Dame in a SUV POS 1987 SDL - Beware Nigerian Scammers On Jul 26, 2015, at 2:39 PM, Max Dillon via Mercedes wrote: If I were looking for a used MB diesel sedan, that is the most recent year / model I would buy.
