Advance use to carry it but dropped it, too bad too AAP is walking distance from my Town House Drat. Russ W. I rectified the problem by calling a local Amsoil dealer and ordering some. I became a dealer, while I was at it. Their products are pricey but proven. I did this as a matter of convenience and I can pick up a few bucks if I sign up other dealers. The savings on this order=more than the $30 annual dealer fee. I won't have to run all over creation tying to find what I need or pay padded shipping fees. I'm not going to start a Amsoil vs Mobil 1 thing or anything There is sufficient documentation to make me comfortable with running their products with extended drain intervals. In the past I have sent oil for analysis, many, many samples and change oil according to those results. I intend to run the Amsoil motor oil in all my MBs after I go through the Mobil 1 I have in stock. I will chose a vehicle and run it for 20,000mi and have the oil tested at 10,000 and 20,000 then change accordingly thereafter. So if anyone wants to become a dealer, preferred customer or get a catalog, e-mail me privately and I'll take your info. I don't know fully how it all works as I just got off the phone with the guy but I'll get myself up to speed on the details. Dealer fee for a year is $30, preferred customer $20. Like I said, I already saved more than the fee. I realize this may not be for some folks, as mentioned the products are pricey. I have always saved money in the long run using synthetics at extended drain intervals and have no blown engines to cry about. Johnny B. I Mac Therefore I am

PS - when filling with diesel, how much foaming is expected/can I expect wildly differing amounts of fuel to go in before shutoff? Should I be having them top it off for more consistent fills?

Re: [MBZ] 914 gearbox
the 914 used a Type II transaxle I'm not a VW weenie but I can tell you that all 914s and all early 5-speed 911s and 912s used the Porsche 901 transmission with various gear ratios. I don't think you have ever seen a Porsche trans and if you had you might notice that the Porsche powertrain is mounted longitudinally. Isn't the VW engine transverse? As to a diesel 914, it's been done. I saw (and heard) one last November in Portland powered by a Jetta Turbodiesel. The owner was an eccentric from Boise who wasn't concerned about the fuel leak that had drenched the entire engine compartment and left a pool of diesel under itself. He didn't bother to change the gears and was going on about how economical it was. it looked slighly better than the $500 ebay 914 dog. RLE/former 914-6 owner, among others.

Has anyone seen the new Brooks movie Looking for Comedy in the muslim
World? Here's the very funny Stephen Hunter review from the Washington
Post that completely deconstructs the movie, explaining its hilarity to a
very selct FEW members of the audience (i.e., just the crtitic).
'Looking for Comedy': The Sound of One Fan Laughing
By Stephen Hunter
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, January 20, 2006; Page C01
I sometimes think Albert Brooks would do better if he'd aim for a bigger
audience: This movie seems to be aimed at an audience of one. Me.
Maybe some others out there feel they get it, too, but it's such a slithery,
incandescent thing he's selling, so fragile and gossamer, here one second
and gone forever, beyond recall, the next. To describe it is almost to
destroy it.

The movies -- and this is true to a fault of the new Looking for Comedy in
the Muslim World -- don't locate humor in traditional sources. The jokes in
Looking for Comedy are particularly deficient; the structure (setup,
sustenance, complication, delivery) isn't impressive. It's not very clever,
it's not very charming, there are no boffo sight gags, nobody falls down
goes boom. It self-terminates. In fact, the movie doesn't so much end as
reach a stopping point and limp hurriedly off-screen, like a bad standup
chased out by boo birds.
But God, is it funny.
Admittedly: an acquired taste. How many ways can I say that? What he is
selling is something so tiny in its niche that it might not even have a
name: It's not slapstick, satire, situation, repartee, quip, wit, gag or
snapper. It's what can only be called the frailty of the comic ego. The
funniest thing about Brooks is that he's not that funny. In fact, if he were
funnier, he wouldn't be nearly as funny.
He's for people like himself: cerebral, but less cerebral, really, than they
think. People who are both fascinated and saddened by the vanities of show
business, even while fractured by self-doubt. Yet a certain part of them is
hungry for stardom at the lowest, basest, most vulgar level, even though
they know such towering need of ego gratification is somehow wrong. It's for
people living under just the faintest pall of self-delusion, who like to
think that, of course, they get it, even as they're secretly terrified they
don't and somebody will find out. It's for people with a profound sense of
moral center who would probably pick up a ten-spot if they found it on the
street. They want to be nice; they tell themselves they are nice, they
deserve better, it's wrong that they don't get more, but they can't make
themselves quite try hard enough and can't make themselves stop secretly
hating themselves.
Brooks sets himself up as almost this perfect schlemiel, playing a character
named Albert Brooks who, despite his formidable comic reputation, isn't
really doing that well, can't get much work, is eaten by doubts, may be over
and isn't sure he deserves to do better and is really, anyway, too sensitive
for the cutthroat realities of big-time showbiz.
In the movie's first scene, he goes for another in the eternal round of
usually feckless movie biz meetings that lubricate the turning of cogs and
gears in Los Angeles, picturing Albert Brooks as melancholy but hopeful of
getting That Big Part, in for an interview with the powerful director Penny
Marshall and her people. Brooks the director uses Marshall as a symbol of
the crushing realpolitik of showbiz, exactly as he used her brother Garry in
Lost in America as the crushing realpolitik of Las

The target demographic must be the older driver who has more cash and does not want to drive a crown vic.

Re: [MBZ] someone knows ... now fuel gauge vs. reserve light
I see this on the pdf's you showed me. The 123 shows an empty value of ~45 ohms, the 126 gives ~82 ohms. Apparently I got the wrong unit, but don't remeber where I bought it, most probably TheBenzbin. The self-test circuitry is in the gauge cluster and really has nothing to do with the sender and gauge. On 1/22/06, Marshall Booth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hans Neureiter wrote: Correct by saying these functions are semi separate. My original gauge worked good, but the reserve light did not at all. Than I installed a new sending unit. Here the reserve light works, but the gauge is way off. Don't know why at this point (maybe it doesn't have that 4.7 ohm resistor in parallel like the old one has). I tinkered with the old sender that was coated with algae and found a way to clean it without braking the fine resistor wires. I plan on re-installing it and see what's up with the new one. Here is how it works: The float has two contacts on opposite ends of its circumference that slide up and down two resistor wires, making the combined length of the wire greater as it descends, thus increasing resistance in the gauge circuit. The reserve functions due to a brass disk at the bottom of the float that bridges two fixed contacts at the empty position, completing a separate circuit for the light. The reserve light has a second circuit that illuminates the lamp at a lower intensity when turning on the key and gets cancelled on start (self test). The system works only properly if these contacts and the wires are clean. On 1/21/06, Tim C [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Huh, this appears to be saying that the reserve light and fuel gauge are independent of each other? -- Hans. Not sure if you noticed, but the different senders (123/126/wagon/gasoline/diesel/early/late versions) have a little or a lot of different resistance values at full and at empty. I'm NOT sure just how many different assemblies are involved or but the clearly are some differences (it's clear that the plug for the T wagon sender includes a resistor to compensate for the different tank shape/size). In addition, early (manufactured before 9/82) senders do NOT have the resistor and diode that permit the reserve light to be illuminated (as a test) when the ignition key is on, but before the engine starts. All of the senders in my 201 sedans (except one) read very accurately (3/4 after 3.75 gallons are gone, 1/2 after 7.5 gallons are gone). The one oddball was a recycled sender (may have come from a gasoline car or may have been damaged in some way) and it drops MUCH faster.

I found none. I'm sure I bought it at Advance before but 2 different stores had no stock. Anyone aware of where it can be had? Its not an emergency but sometime soon I would like to change the fluid over to Mobil 1 as well as the filter. Same goes for PS and filter. I have but a couple of minor tasks to complete to bring my new 190D Euro up to speed as far as maintenance goes. So far, I have replaced all 4 tires with Bridgestones, replaced shocks and struts with Bilsteins, new Sway bar links (I believe I caused one to break by not supporting trailing arm when changing rear shocks), replaced master cylinder and all brake hoses(DOT 3 was used some time in the past and dissolved plenty of rubber), rebuilt all 4 calipers, new pads all around, Euro lights and clear corner lights, CHANGED ALL THE FUSES(Marshall), Mobil 1 15-50 and filter, serpentine belt,tensioner and shock, complete paint job, all new outside bulbs, new blower and AC switch knobs (big job),replaced articulating single wiper with a used set-up, valve cover gasket, rubber connectors for EGR pipe, fuel and air filters, all rubber fuel lines. Things left to do: Trans fluid and filter, PS fluid and filter, wiper motor seems weak(or I have another problem), replace Hirschmann antenna circuit board(it is a Euro and the circuit boards are different) the only parts I am lacking are M 1 trans fluid, the circuit board and possibly wiper motor. This is a nice example of a 201 190D 2.5na Euro w/62,000mi. As it sits, I have $2,600 into it including purchase price($1,200) and all above mentioned parts and repairs. I expect to spend less than $200 additional to cover repairs yet to be completed and get at least 10 years service out of it. Unless somebody really wants it for $5,000. Johnny B.

Re: [MBZ] 914
I just got a 914 on trade-in, the car is in great shape. However I have no desires to drive the thing. The PO just spent a lot of money getting the body work redone and the engine rebuilt. He never got the carbs rebuilt and so the car runs like crap. The TDI would be interesting but I still would not drive the thing. How many cylinders? No four cylinder 914 had carbs. And, carbed 4s probably can't pass emissions. RLE

Re: [MBZ] old automatics
A fair number of early automatics were 2-speeds. The DeSoto had a 2-speed automatic, as did the Corvair. At the risk of being VanCleef-like, I will point out that Chev's Powerglide was a 2-speed and was used more recently than you might think. Seems like I recall that they were used even in Corvettes. The Chrysler auto was in fact a four-speed of sorts with a clutch. Move the lever up to what would be the 2nd gear position in a normal column shift, and a granny first and second were available. In the normal down position (3rd) a starting gear and high resided. The clutch wasn't used unless the lever needed to be moved, reverse for example. Other wise you'd start off in what was really third, lift and wait for a clonk into top, then proceed. The GM 2-speed buses (from my grade school days) started off like an old Dynaflow, revving like mad, and when a certain speed was attained, would violently shift into lockup cruising gear. I think they were all 2-cycles. RLE

Re: [MBZ] its BACK
Could I remove the manual tranny from this car and put it into my 300d that currently sports an automatic? I bought the car for a pretty good price knowing it did not shift into high gear. When I got it home and put it up on our lift, I discovered a brand new rebuilt tranny complete with new or rebuilt torque converter. Since I'm not sure how to fix it, I thought about buying on older 240D with a manual tranny and performing the swap. Can this be done? Sincerely, -Scott -- Original Message -- From: Kaleb C.

[MBZ] fuel in, but no fuel out
Working on a 84 280SE today(euro), replaced the fuel pump but still no start, jump power directly to the pump and it runs and I get fuel to the IN line of the fuel distributor, with it tight I get no fuel on the return side out of the distributor. WTF? Shouldnt I get fuel coming out of the return side? Dump a little fuel in and it fires but doesnt seem to be getting fuel out of the distributor, or is it not supposed to have fuel on the return side unless the engine is running? -- Kaleb C.

[MBZ] high idle on 380SE with euro 5.0 solved
Well it was the throttle position sensor causing the high idle. The switch on the euro motor has a 2 prong flat plug, the car end has a 3 prong round. The wires for the engine side are brown and green, the wires for the car side are brown, green, and blue. I cut off the connector from the switch on the engine, cut the round connector off the switch that was on the old 380 motor, spliced the 2 brown and green wires together, spliced another wire to the remaining blue wire from the car side and ran it to a ground. Now it idles like it should. Drives just fine as well. Not sure if this is how its supposed to be on the US car or its just rigged, but it seems to work. -- Kaleb C.

[MBZ] Will 240D Manual Tranny fit up to a 300D that came with an Automatic?
Could I remove the manual tranny from a 240D and put it into my 300d that currently sports an automatic? I bought the car for a pretty good price knowing it did not shift into high gear. When I got it home and put it up on our lift, I discovered a brand new rebuilt tranny complete with new or rebuilt torque converter. Since I'm not sure how to fix it, I thought about buying on older 240D with a manual tranny and performing the swap. Can this be done? Sincerely, -Scott
