Subject: [MBZ] Our New Family Addition

Now this is a REAL family addition, not another addition to our MB fleet.-:)

Our baby Isabella was born at 3:05PM Tuesday. All went well. Although this
is our third child, she is just the best and I am so happy! I can't wait to
see her when I get home tonight. 

Thought it is appropriate to share this on the list as I got to know many of
you over the years not in person but over conversations on the list. 

Have a good weekend.

  Finally my wife admitted defeat, gave in and said I won the prize which was dinner out wherever I wanted to go.
   
  I went out and had a great big dang steak, I was so tired of pizza!

The state has auctions I am certain the local paper would have notice.  
 If not, the UW has scads of laptop with full complement of PC card.  
The gateway came with 3Com cards for both 56k, 10bt and a dual card.  
Slow as death 233mhz with 128mb and 4gig.  $30.  I was slow and got the 
last one that morning.  The PIII ones were gone in the first two 
minutes the doors were open.  Sometimes there are toilet seat ibooks.  
Just depends on what is being surplus.

The Endoscope would be great for looking inside the engines.  The 
plasma torch would surely be a great way to loosen stuck engine bits.  
Lot #68 would be the envy of every dominatrix, but you are looking for

Ahh. My first Bt Wrong. I feel this sense of belonging.

Seriously, I read on this list that Rusty doesn't sell them anymore and the 
dealer is now the only option, and that they sent out to Florida. In fact, 
though, the dealer in St. Paul sent out to Germany, via Texas.


I'll only believe Kaleb from now on.

Re: [MBZ] Inappropriate FOOD

2006-01-21 Thread Tim C
Oh yeah?  Then check this site out:  

http://www.tasteoftx.com/recipes/rellenos.html - I recommend stuffing with
fajita beef or things like that in addition to the cheese.  Also, since the
batter is a mess, it works pretty much as well to bake in about 1/4 of oil
till hot/bubbly (put extra cheese on top for this method)(no need to turn
really).

Also http://tasteoftx.com/recipes/Chiles.html - the basic red chile sauce
is great for enchilada sauce - and the oregano is the bit (NOT optional)
that is often missing, where you wonder why doesn't this taste like the
restaurant. - for extra goodness, add over-easy fried eggs to top of
enchiladas...man, I love the taste of the runny egg yolk mixed in with all
the enchilada goodness.

I think there was a spell where he couldnt get them but as far as I know 
the last he told me he could.

Seriously, I read on this list that Rusty doesn't sell them anymore and

I'll only believe Kaleb from now on.

I believe Rusty can get generic ign or door sets, but the last time I 
checked, he was unable to provide keys by VIN or code.


Brian, publish the MB part number and someone can probably determine if it 
is a lock and key, or lock only.

That sounds familiar.

The PN for the LOCK CY is: 123-462-00-79

The separate key I ordered for an extra has PN either Q 4 76 0037 (crossed 
out by hand) or 1755696 (written in by hand) ?

I've been a member there longer than here, and the only downside was after 
defending Rusty and his service recently, I lost contact.  A quick email to 
another both-list guy confirmed that there were messages I was missing. 
Thought I had been booted until it came back up with some lame explanation 
that it was too hard to explain why it happened.  I wasn't the only one, 
tho.  It's a strange feeling I assure you.  As Kaleb said, there are some

Re: [MBZ] W210.025/OM606.962 delivery valves (finished!) -- HOWTO

2006-01-21 Thread OK Don
Nice write-up! A keeper - thanks!

On 1/20/06, John W. Reames III [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 A few weeks ago I was asking about this job... I finished it, and it
 wasn't that bad (I'm kicking myself for not taking photos though!)

 It took me less than four hours for this job and that included running out
 to get the T-40. The 4 hours that the labor guide quotes is generous,
 certainly... If anyone has any thoughts/comments on this, lemme know.



 Parts:
 7x 603 078 01 41 (Injection pipe clips)
 7x 601 078 26 41 (Injection pipe shims--trim them on one side)
 2x 601 078 26 41 (Injection pipe clips)
 1x 606 141 01 80 (Intake manifold gasket)

 6x 017 997 41 48 (Bosch 1-460-210-321 O-ring, you may want spares)
 6x 004 997 45 40 (Bosch 1-410-105-021 Copper seal washer)
  (These are the same rings as used on a 602 or 603 engine.)

 Tools:
 -8mm socket or nutrunner
 -10mm socket
 -6mm hex bit socket
 -T-30 socket
 -T-40 socket
 -13mm *special* crowsfoot 000 589 77 03 00
 -32/33 spline *special* socket 617 589 01 09 00
 -a dental pick or similar to aid in removal of seal rings and washers
 -some sort of zero residue aerosol cleaner (carb cleaner or electronics
 cleaner)
 -Torque wrenches capable of 10Nm - 35Nm
 -A box of rags (like the ones they sell at home depot, Scott Brand)
 misc extensions and ratchets and adapters (3/8-1/2 bushing, 3/8-1/4
 reducer)
 -a can of clean oil (I used clear fine machine oil) or diesel fuel

 Instructions:
 -The first thing you want to do is jack the car up and remove at least the
 middle underpan (8mm hex head 4 places)

 -You will need to remove the bolt fastening the charge air cooler pipe to
 the EGR valve on the bottom of the intake manifold (Mine was missing!) as
 well as the clamp holding the EGR tube to the manifold/EGR valve (10mm
 bolt).

 -Put the car back down on the ground and remove the plastic oversheild on
 the valve cover (6mm hex bit, 8 screws)

 -Now is a good time to clean all the accumulated gunk off the top of the
 engine while everything is still closed up.

 -Remove the two 10mm bolts secureing the oil separator to the top of the
 engine (over #5 injector) and carefully remove the separator and breather
 tube. (You might want to stick a bit of rag into the open tube ends on the
 engine)

 -Remove the T-40 head manifold bolts (14 places, I think).  There is one
 hiding under the lifting eye back by #5 or #6.

 -Gently lift the manifold free, disconnecting the vacuum control line and
 the boost pressure sensing line from the valve.  Be cautious of the little
 plastic clamp on the boost line.  You may want to fill the manifold with
 some cleaner to let it soak while you work

 -Carefully slide the intake manifold gasket out (to the front of the
 engine), noting its orientation.

 -Stuff CLEAN lint-free rags into each intake ports and the intercooler
 pipe to keep crud out of them.

 -Clean off the top of the injection pump (carb cleaner, etc).

 -Make a diagram of where the injection lines go, and more importantly, how
 the various clips attach to them.  Take note of how the first two lines
 run around the low pressure fuel and injection bypass hoses.

 -Remove all of the clips from the injection lines. 80% or more will
 likely break.

 -Loosen the injection line nuts and remove the injection lines. The
 special crowsfoot (13mm) above really makes it much easier on the engine
 side.

 -Remove the three T-30 screws that secure the delivery valve lock rings to
 the injection pump.  Take note of how the lock rings are laying on the
 pump.

 -Remove all of the lock rings.

 -Clean the top of the IP again--pay special attention to around the
 delivery valves.

 ***

 -Using the special spline socket, loosen the first delivery
 valve holder.  Unscrew it by hand and SLOWLY lift the valve holder, being
 careful to not let the spring get lost/drop out or pull the valve from
 inside the pump.

 -Use the (CLEAN) pick to remove the copper seal ring from the top of the
 assembly that was under the valve holder.

 -Carefully lower a new copper seal ring onto the assembly. Try to keep the
 ring and assembly more or less centered within the bore

 -Remove the O-ring from the outside of the valve holder.  Use carb cleaner
 or similar to clean all the crud off the outside of the body (don't flush
 it inside!)

 -Fit a new O-Ring onto the delivery valve body. Put a few drops of oin on
 the threads of the valve and on each side of the O-Ring, ensuring that the
 ring is well-oiled.

 -Thread the delivery valve body into the IP by hand, being cautious of the
 valve assembly and the spring.  (The spring should seat on top of the
 valve assembly into the pump), and the O-ring should not be pinched.

 -Using a torque wrench and the spline socket, torque the delivery valve
 holder to 30Nm (22 ft-lb).

 -Loosen the valve body maybe 1/8 turn (just enough to remove the
 torque/pressure) and re-torque to 30Nm/22ft-lbs.

 -Repeat the above step (This makes 3x torquing to 30Nm/22ft-lbs)

Only rust-free (mostly) rust-prone models, methinks.  Put on a

a Has usual amount of rust, but nothing heinous and you'll

[MBZ] unique odometer reading

2006-01-21 Thread LT Don
My odometer turned this today while I was driving west to a meeting.
Having taken the digital camera with me in anticipation of this
turn-of-events, just had to pull onto the shoulder of the highway and snap a
photo.

But ... the odometer reading is not really true, since a new one was put in
by 240D's previous owner at ~88,000 miles.

Subject: [MBZ] W210.025/OM606.962 delivery valves (finished!) -- HOWTO


 A few weeks ago I was asking about this job... I finished it, and it
 wasn't that bad (I'm kicking myself for not taking photos though!)

 It took me less than four hours for this job and that included running out
 to get the T-40. The 4 hours that the labor guide quotes is generous,
 certainly... If anyone has any thoughts/comments on this, lemme know.



 Parts:
 7x 603 078 01 41 (Injection pipe clips)
 7x 601 078 26 41 (Injection pipe shims--trim them on one side)
 2x 601 078 26 41 (Injection pipe clips)
 1x 606 141 01 80 (Intake manifold gasket)

 6x 017 997 41 48 (Bosch 1-460-210-321 O-ring, you may want spares)
 6x 004 997 45 40 (Bosch 1-410-105-021 Copper seal washer)
  (These are the same rings as used on a 602 or 603 engine.)

 Tools:
 -8mm socket or nutrunner
 -10mm socket
 -6mm hex bit socket
 -T-30 socket
 -T-40 socket
 -13mm *special* crowsfoot 000 589 77 03 00
 -32/33 spline *special* socket 617 589 01 09 00
 -a dental pick or similar to aid in removal of seal rings and washers
 -some sort of zero residue aerosol cleaner (carb cleaner or electronics
 cleaner)
 -Torque wrenches capable of 10Nm - 35Nm
 -A box of rags (like the ones they sell at home depot, Scott Brand)
 misc extensions and ratchets and adapters (3/8-1/2 bushing, 3/8-1/4
 reducer)
 -a can of clean oil (I used clear fine machine oil) or diesel fuel

 Instructions:
 -The first thing you want to do is jack the car up and remove at least the
 middle underpan (8mm hex head 4 places)

 -You will need to remove the bolt fastening the charge air cooler pipe to
 the EGR valve on the bottom of the intake manifold (Mine was missing!) as
 well as the clamp holding the EGR tube to the manifold/EGR valve (10mm
 bolt).

 -Put the car back down on the ground and remove the plastic oversheild on
 the valve cover (6mm hex bit, 8 screws)

 -Now is a good time to clean all the accumulated gunk off the top of the
 engine while everything is still closed up.

 -Remove the two 10mm bolts secureing the oil separator to the top of the
 engine (over #5 injector) and carefully remove the separator and breather
 tube. (You might want to stick a bit of rag into the open tube ends on the
 engine)

 -Remove the T-40 head manifold bolts (14 places, I think).  There is one
 hiding under the lifting eye back by #5 or #6.

 -Gently lift the manifold free, disconnecting the vacuum control line and
 the boost pressure sensing line from the valve.  Be cautious of the little
 plastic clamp on the boost line.  You may want to fill the manifold with
 some cleaner to let it soak while you work

 -Carefully slide the intake manifold gasket out (to the front of the
 engine), noting its orientation.

 -Stuff CLEAN lint-free rags into each intake ports and the intercooler
 pipe to keep crud out of them.

 -Clean off the top of the injection pump (carb cleaner, etc).

 -Make a diagram of where the injection lines go, and more importantly, how
 the various clips attach to them.  Take note of how the first two lines
 run around the low pressure fuel and injection bypass hoses.

 -Remove all of the clips from the injection lines. 80% or more will
 likely break.

 -Loosen the injection line nuts and remove the injection lines. The
 special crowsfoot (13mm) above really makes it much easier on the engine
 side.

 -Remove the three T-30 screws that secure the delivery valve lock rings to
 the injection pump.  Take note of how the lock rings are laying on the
 pump.

 -Remove all of the lock rings.

 -Clean the top of the IP again--pay special attention to around the
 delivery valves.

 ***

 -Using the special spline socket, loosen the first delivery
 valve holder.  Unscrew it by hand and SLOWLY lift the valve holder, being
 careful to not let the spring get lost/drop out or pull the valve from
 inside the pump.

 -Use the (CLEAN) pick to remove the copper seal ring from the top of the
 assembly that was under the valve holder.

 -Carefully lower a new copper seal ring onto the assembly. Try to keep the
 ring and assembly more or less centered within the bore

 -Remove the O-ring from the outside of the valve holder.  Use carb cleaner
 or similar to clean all the crud off the outside of the body (don't flush
 it inside!)

 -Fit a new O-Ring onto the delivery valve body. Put a few drops of oin on
 the threads of the valve and on each side of the O-Ring, ensuring that the
 ring is well-oiled.

 -Thread the delivery valve body into the IP by hand, being cautious of the
 valve assembly and the spring.  (The

Re: [MBZ] Premium Gas or Not?

2006-01-21 Thread Barry Stark
Don -
Just wanted to add that it is really a function of the compresson ratio of
the engine. If your compression ratio gets up towards 10:1 it really should
be running the good stuff. Most modern engines these days have knock sensors
or detonation sensors that retard the spark when it begins to detonate to
keep from damaging the engine. The late timing adversely affects performance
and usually fuel mileage too. You might want to try the premium and see if
running the cheaper price stuff is really worth it in the long run.

Crack due to price or crack because the ad has scam written all over it?

The 190 Evo is a serious car and while I don't know what they're worth 
today, the price is almost certain to higher next year.

[MBZ] Intermittent cruise op, 85 TD

2006-01-21 Thread Harry Watkins
My wagon has three phases and no warning of which is on duty. 

On an 80 mile trip the other day, nothing would make it work as I tried 
numerous times/things.  Next time it works after fiddling with it.  Yesterday 
on the out trip, it engaged like a new one, lasted about four miles, disengaged 
and quit.  Coming back trip, it worked like a new one all the way with calling 
for it about four times.

The return spring for the pedal seems pretty stiff to me and I wondered if that 
could be a cause.

Where should I start looking?

If you go to the federal trade commission website, they list the 
international cashiers chec scam as one of the top scams going on in the 
country. It's really getting bad. I think someone may have even created 
a program to automaticaly respond to everything on Craigslist because 
when I've listed things there, al lthe responses were from cashiers 
check scammers and most were a form letter that didn't even mention the 
item listed, it would just say something like your item or your Product
These clowns bid up cars on ebay all the time too. I bought a volvo 
diesel from a guy last year that I knew, I thought he had sold the car 
already, he had listed it on ebay, a scammer had the high bid, he listed 
it again, a different scammer had the high bid, he finally gave up ( 
good for me, bad for him ) I got ahold of him 5 months later just to

When I left eBay (they bought my least favorite criminal organization,
Paypal) the system was that you could get your selling price commission
refunded due to non-paying bidder. If you needed to relist an unsold item,
you could relist it once for free. I suspect the guy you bought the car

Re: [MBZ] W210.025/OM606.962 delivery valves (finished!) -- HOWTO

2006-01-21 Thread Marshall Booth
Nice writeup. One caution. Even if you torque the delivery valves 
PERFECTLY, they might still distort the injection pump body. That will 
cause noise (and damage if not promptly corrected) and result in 
incorrect/uneven fuel delivery. The cure is to loosen and re-torque the 
delivery valve for the cylinder that's misfiring. valve.


Even experienced pros using a torque wrench seem to distort the pump 
maybe 1 out of 10 times (I'm told) and need to loosen and retighten the 
valve. It may be that the earlier OM60x pumps are more touchy about this 
than the later ones and I KNOW that the 6 cylinder versions are much 
worse than the 4 or 5 cylinder pumps.

'Preciate the concise info. Actually my deal is that I ordered a lock 
cylinder (coded to my VIN) and was told by the rep that it would come with a 
key too (obviously also coded to my VIN) I paid some $85 for this. It did 
not come with a key. Just the cylinder was sent. I called him and asked 
what's up - he basically said, his bad - that he told me the wrong thing, 
and that in fact, the option to order the cylinder coded to VIN should not 
come with a key. And the option to order a cyl. and a key together would not 
yield a set coded to an existing VIN.


Fortunately, I had ordered an extra key (coded) (arrived separately and 
several days earlier than cyl.). So all told, I have the cylinder 
(supposedly coded to my VIN) and one key (also supposedly coded to my VIN). 
I haven't confirmed that they work yet.


What and where is this secret lock facility? They told me that the cyl. 
would come from Germany via Texas, and that it may take 6 - 8 weeks, but 
they could not say for sure how long it'd take. It actually only took about 
a coulpe weeks.

 Brian, publish the MB part number and someone can probably
 determine if it
 is a lock and key, or lock only.

Anyone can get lock cylinders VIN matched from your local friendly
dealer.

Key should not come with VIN matched cylinder unless ordered. (they
will come from 2 different places, as MB must actually set-up the
lock cylinder at their secret lock facility).

A key will come with a lock cylinder that is not coded to the VIN.

Keys coded to the VIN can be purchased separately.

Were any ordered before they centralized the process?

year, didn't they?)


Several of mine came from the Baltimore distribution center and at least 
one came from Rusty. None have been received in the last 2 years.

Re: [MBZ] Nice W115, and ebay question

2006-01-21 Thread Brian Chase
Yeah, I figured it was well-known. The thing I was wondering about is: Since 
the language is so similar to what I encountered some time ago on a 
different selling site, is this scam so standard that many people choose to 
use the same lousy language? Or is it the same person(s)?


Not a terribly important question, just wondering. I picture some dude 
spending all his time sending out these poorly-written scams. It would be 
more than a full-time job. If this is not the scenario, why is the language 
so similar (including very poor mastery of the king's english)? Or is it 
automated and mass distributed?


I question, therefore I am.

 As soon as I read a certain one of those responses, I recognized it
 as a scam. I tried to sell my truck on CraigsList and some guy with
 very bad English (much like the message in question here) tried to
 get me to pay (using his check) the guy that he would send to pick
 up my vehicle.

 When my wife tried to sell something on CraigsList, she got
 virtually the same message. This must be VERY common!?

 I politely asked him to elaborate and that I could not accept those
 terms. No response.

 It's the all-caps one with the I will like to... and My client...

 Oh, I just read the seller's response to it. It must be a well-
 known con?

CL is very aware of these scams. Everyone should be by now. They
always throw a disclaimer/warning up for those who choose to
advertise there. It is usually highlighted in yellow..
