I called MB roadside assistance to organize a time for a truck to come
collect the $900E500 to deal with the SBC pressure reservoir problem
that I think is throwing it into limp mode. Guy was very nice, says a
tow truck would be here in 90min. Woman calls me from the tow company
about 5min later, we organize the pickup to take to the stealer. I
presume this will cost me nothing. I was just going to say sometime the
next coupla days would be fine, no rush, but it works out great.
I wrote up a page detailing the codes the car is throwing (only a few, 2
for the airmatic, and of course the trans and SBC, and one is some weird
thing I am not sure what it means, synchronization of DTC memory --
might be related to the limp mode issue) and told them only to deal with
the SBC issue which I think is causing the limp mode, as one trans code
is for the brake control solenoid valve on the conductor plate/TCM. The
limp mode is intermittent, and the trans works fine when it works.
So anyway the tow truck will be here in an hour or so, I'll meet it up
at the road to load the car up. I washed it a little while ago, other
than being dirty carpets inside, it is a really nice car, 154kmi. Body
and paint are very good, a coupla minor scratches and one little dent on
lower driver door that I just noticed today, someone probably kicked the
door closed. Once it is fixed, and I attend to an Airmatic valve issue,
I should get it detailed and flip it fast before something else kakks.
I could probably get $4k or more for it judging by what I am seeing
these things listed for. Of course you cheap b@st@rds will want to
chisel on me...
