Re: [MBZ] Shocking
Bilstein only. Accept no substitute. A lot like Hewlett-Packard printers. There are standard or comfort Bilstein shocks and heavy duty or for vehicles with stiffer suspensions for countries with bad roads Bilstein shocks. There are MBZ part numbers for both kinds. At least one supplier (www.mercedessource.com) says they offer both kinds. I have no doubt that Rusty can do the same or similar. . Get the comfort shocks if you want a ride like original - heavy duty shocks tend to ride like a jolt wagon. It took me more than a few years to learn that, and much dissatisfaction with several different kinds of new heavy duty shocks on several different kinds of cars. Heavy duty shocks are for somebody besides me. I finally figured it out on the Benz, and new comfort Bilsteins work wonders on the ride if your old shocks are kaput. Duh ! BTW, there is a way to tell if the Benzes say your shocks are good or no good - it's in Service Manual. You have to have the shock off the car to check it. It's OK (again by the Benzes) to replace Bilstein shocks by the one. Don't know about mixing brands on the same axle. Off topic of shocks - can anyone tell me what the approved proportions of Zerex G 05 and water are, according to the Benzes? My manuals are much too old to speak to that. I have two new gallons just waiting to be mixed in the approved proportions.

Timely subject for us as well. The Hotpoint appliances in our new (c. 15 yr. old) house are all pretty poor.

I still have the lower ball joints too, The upper control arm is the one that goes bad. When I stopped by MBI Motors, the largest indy dealing with Mercedes around here, one of the mechs told me that the lower ball joints tend to go out before the uppers since they are more susceptible to having torn boots. Oil gets out, water gets in, then the rust and the groaning starts (like mine's doing on the passenger's side right now). The UCA bushings weren't brought up, but I'm going to have them inspect all of the front end components along with the rotors and wheel bearings while it's on the rack since it must all be removed to get the ball joint off.

Re: [MBZ] Front Loading Washers (was Re: Tools and Quality)
Buy LG from Home Depot (or buy.com believe it or not) We just bought a pair to replace a 10 year old top load/dryer, and my wife researched every make and model before she decided on the LG. They have the best customer satisfaction and I must say, we are very impressed with them. Not only do they save water, they save detergent, and do a better job. We paid about $50 a month for water, and the washer was probably half that. The front load uses 1/3 the water of top load, so 50/2 = $25, 25/3 = $8.33, or a savings of $16.67 each month. That over the next 10 years is over $2,000, and that is more then we paid for the washer and dryer. Our bills come every three months, so I will soon know if these numbers work out.

Re: [MBZ] Front Loading Washers (was Re: Tools and Quality)
I also did a bunch of research about three years ago and chose the top Kenmore front loader. To answer your question about getting clothes clean, it does so quite well. It tosses your clothes throught the soapy water, which is more like hand washing. Clothes get quite clean, they last longer (not as much wear and tear from the agitator), and as has already been noted, you use a LOT less detergent. You'll also save energy, since the clothes are drier coming out of the washer (the spin is FAR more efficient) so you don't need the dryer to run as long. We've had no problem with leaking except once when a visitor didn't believe me about the detergent and poured in more than she would've for a top loading machine! That WILL run a small amount of water out on the floor through an overflow, which is not actually a leak. It was amazing how much soap remained in our clothes from the top load we used to have -- and we weren't soap fiends by any means -- we found that the first few loads of clothes after we changed washers had enough soap in them to clean without adding more! The only down-side is that the cycle takes longer, but we've adjusted to that. On some washers, once you start the cycle, you can't open the door to add forgotten items, but look around for ones that don't limit you in that way -- they're out there. Time is at once the most valuable and the most perishable of all our possessions.

Re: [MBZ] Tools and Quality
My parents replaced their 35 year old refridgerator last year and have been stunned by the savings. Interestingly it seems like the new fridge cycles more often but has a shorter cycle. Definately uses like 50% of the power... On waterheaters I'd imagine the new ones are MUCH better insulated than even 10 years ago and more than that ago fuggetaboutit. Remember when people were setting their houses on fire wrapping hotwater heaters in insulation? Yay forced hot water heat. Turn on the tap, the furnace fires up and hot water is there... Of course it means I'll burn a tank of oil in the summer but I'm okay with that. -Curt Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2007 19:37:36 -0700 (PDT) From: LWB250 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] Tools and Quality To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 I guess I look at the difference in cost amortized over the life of the appliance. That being considered, you're talking about less than $10/year for the difference, which isn't really significant in my mind. That also doesn't factor in the cost savings in energy efficiency. While I can't imagine water heater technology has gotten to the point of really major gains in efficiency over the last 10 years, with other appliances it is definitely a consideration. The house is just about 10-1/2 years old, so some of the appliances are ready to be turned. I just cut about 35% off my water bill by going to a front loading washing machine last month.

Re: [MBZ] Front Loading Washers (was Re: Tools and Quality)
The best long term one would be a Speed Queen (non-electronic), but they require attendance (they hop all over the place if the load doesn't balance on the spin cycle) and are expensive -- $1500 last time I looked a couple years ago. I ended up with a Bosch from Lowe's -- I believe they still carry the brand, but not at all stores. Again, large and expensive ($1300), but my oh my what a difference in clean! Neptunes are good IF you can keep them in a low humidity enviroment (the electronics are on the bottom, duh!) -- damp environment equals burned out boards, which can get expensive. I especially like the simplicity of the Bosch controls -- a dial for temp and agitation cycle, a couple of buttons for spin speed, and that's it. Far easier than teaching my 80 year old mother how to use one of the overly-complicated touch-screen types! I've been quite happy.

They have the best customer satisfaction and I must say, we are very impressed with them. Not only do they save water, they save detergent, and do a better job. We paid about $50 a month for water, and the washer was probably half that. The front load uses 1/3 the water of top load, so 50/2 = $25, 25/3 = $8.33, or a savings of $16.67 each month. That over the next 10 years is over $2,000, and that is more then we paid for the washer and dryer. Our bills come every three months, so I will soon know if these numbers work out.

Re: [MBZ] Front Loading Washers (was Re: Tools and Quality)
This was something I didn't realize, either. In fact, my drying times are lower because the clothing comes out of the washer much dryer that with a top-loader. I will say that my purchase was precipitated by the failure of my 6 year old Maytag, which blew the transmission. There was no reason for attempting a repair, as the parts cost alone made it prohibitive. That being said, I did not have a $1000 budget for a washing machine, either. I did what research I could in the limited time I had, and found that there are a number of sub-$1000 machines that are as good as the more expensive ones.

Re: [MBZ] Front Loading Washers
This was something I didn't realize, either. In fact, my drying times are lower because the clothing comes out of the washer much dryer that with a top-loader. Than with _your_ top loader. I looked into buying a Fisher Paykel when it looked like I was going to have to replace our washer. It's a top loader, yet at the time got clothes the driest of anything. Didn't have to do it then, I've been able to keep our 1974 Kenmore running. I doubt that _any_ front loader could be kept running this long. Lack of availability of the custom door gaskets alone would probably guarantee this.

[MBZ] Bathtub and bell curves
The question of how long a light bulb lasts is used in several introductory books on statistics. How long does a light bulb last? A truthful answer is It varies. But people tend to want a single number. Maybe the average. As applied to this problem, the bell curve plots bulb life (in hours or some unit of time) against number of bulbs in the sample that last so long before failing. The bathtub curve plots bulb life against number of bulbs failing at some particular life. The curves are something of complements of each other; at any life the two add up to 100% of the bulbs in the experiment. Some fail out of the box.or early, then few fail, then at the end, all survivors finally fail. Conversely, only a few last a short time, many last something like the average life, and only a few last into light bulb old age. Clear as mud?

As with others I highly recommend the Bilsteins - to see the difference hold your used Bilstein next to your new Monroe - like I did several years ago when finances required I buy the heaper Monroes. The chrome shaft on the Bilsteins is about twice as large (diameter) as the Monroe - same for the body of the shock - the Bilsteins are built much more substantially and their lifespan proves the point. Buy the Bils once every 15 years or so (usually more) Vs. buying Monroes every 3-5 years. It's just like buying a good MB* and it will be the cheapest car you'll ever own, the Bilsteins are the same.

[MBZ] AC bungholery
So, my AC ('87 300TD) seems to be experiencing multiple failure modes. One
is the weak output of the fan. The other is the weak output of cooling. I
suspect the former is due to clogged evaporator coils, which apparently
can't be rectified short of a complete dash removal. The fan appears (by
the sound of it) to be working at normal speeds.
The latter issue is more mystifying. Here are the symptoms:
- Low side readings = 50 psi
- High side readings = 65 psi
- Vent temps = 50 degrees @ ~70 degrees ambient
- Compressor engages, yet doesn't cycle off and on as I'd suspect if
there were a low charge level.
- sight glass is cloudy
Any thoughts? Any at all?

Re: [MBZ] AC bungholery
Way low on freon -- high side at 70F and 1500 rpm with compressor
engaged should be about 250 psi. The other choice is a bad compressor,
but you should have more pressure than that in the low side if the
compressor is bad. May have a bad low pressure cutout switch (or it's
wired around) too.
The evaporator can be cleaned by removing the blower and spraying it
with evaporator cleaner (don't use anything that can corrode aluminum).
Likely the screed over it is packed solid with crap.
You do NOT want to remove the evaporator if it is not indeed
leaking.

Re: [MBZ] 78 240D Making Odd Noise
Bad center u-joint sounds like a bad muffler, but varies with road speed independent of engine speed. Cure is driveshaft replacement, it's much cheaper to get a used shaft than replace the bearing ($650 last time I heard for the repair). Used shaft is about $100. Check for vibration at the carrier -- just aft of the center of the driver's seat on the tunnel. A bad carrier bearing makes a grinding noise.

It could be the differential mount or a wheel bearing too. My '81 300CD had a hum/roar coming from the right front that couldn't be heard until reaching at least 40MPH.

I had a 108 one time (1970 280S) that had the absolute worst rumbling sound in the front end. It was coming from the left front (driver's side) and was most certainly a bad wheel bearing. I changed the LF wheel bearing and adjusted to spec with a dial indicator. The front end still rumbled. I went over that thing with a fine tooth comb and was never able to pin it down. A month after I bought it someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse on it, and I sold it with full disclosure. Found out a few weeks later it was the *right* front wheel bearing that was bad, but for soime reason the noise transmitted through the suspension and sounded like it was coming from the left front.

Re: [MBZ] Front Loading Washers (was Re: Tools and Quality)
Depends what you are after, if you just want a machine then anything will do but if you are interested in the long term then you have to look at machines that are servicable. We have had Miele machines in our family for decades and while they are more expensive than Asian brands, they are build to be repairable. Sort of like a Hyundai vs Merc Sunny Letot wrote: I also did a bunch of research about three years ago and chose the top Kenmore front loader. To answer your question about getting clothes clean, it does so quite well. It tosses your clothes throught the soapy water, which is more like hand washing. Clothes get quite clean, they last longer (not as much wear and tear from the agitator), and as has already been noted, you use a LOT less detergent. You'll also save energy, since the clothes are drier coming out of the washer (the spin is FAR more efficient) so you don't need the dryer to run as long. We've had no problem with leaking except once when a visitor didn't believe me about the detergent and poured in more than she would've for a top loading machine! That WILL run a small amount of water out on the floor through an overflow, which is not actually a leak. It was amazing how much soap remained in our clothes from the top load we used to have -- and we weren't soap fiends by any means -- we found that the first few loads of clothes after we changed washers had enough soap in them to clean without adding more! The only down-side is that the cycle takes longer, but we've adjusted to that. On some washers, once you start the cycle, you can't open the door to add forgotten items, but look around for ones that don't limit you in that way -- they're out there. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
