Re: [MBZ] Awl
John, mine is an 05 so not a Buetech either and has 45K on it. I took it to the dealer as the service advisor and I have become friends. Said he would change oil for 107.00 and as they had a slow time that day, would also perform the 5 page Service Sheet Service. All items came out clean and green. In addition, they replaced a couple of interior trim pieces which someone had broke. Reading off the Work Order, states they used M1 0W40 #Q-1-09-0015 and oil filter # 613-180-00-09 which I believe is that new fleece type filter. I have a garage full of M1 15W50 which I am using in my older cars.

Re: [MBZ] MB wiper blade inserts?
Thanks Wilton, I'm good to go now and will look forward to using inserts in the future. Harry If the ends of one of the C-looking clamps or clips built into the blade holder are in the short little slots about 1/4 inch from the closed end of the lower or inner groove, that should be sufficient to counteract the centrifugal force and keep the blade in place. The short slots are only about 1/8 inch long. 'May need to crimp or squeeze the C clip inward toward the rubber just a little to make sure it's well-engaged in the little slots. The upper/outer groove has a small, short ridge inside it also near the closed end of the blade. This short ridge fits in a notch in the stainless strip to hold the strip in place. 'Should be OK with closed end of the blade inward or outward. The C clip keeps the blade from slinging outward, and the little ridges in the little notches keep the stainless strips in place.

Re: [MBZ] Awl
Tom H. wrote: In other words, other than the sludge buildup, running 60,000 miles on the original oil plus a quart with every filter change seemed to do no damage at all to the engine. And the sludge starving the engine for oil, not the condition of the oil itself, was what finally did the engine in! It does not surprise me at all that someone else ran 120K miles without an oil change. When I was a service Manager at an Oldsmobile/Honda dealer (1996-2001), customer came in with an new Oldsmobile Aurora. It had 21,000 miles on it. It was knocking like crazy and was barely running. We tried to change the oil and it was similar to what you saw. The sludge was hard and had turned into what looked like asphalt. I asked her when she had changed her oil last and she said she never had. She said she didn't realize she still had to change the oil - she thought newer modern cars didn't need it (she really said this). This car was less one year old. I didn't really want to help her (how dumb do you have to be) but she was making a warranty claim. So, we tore the engine apart and had the Oldsmobile zone rep come down and look at it. The bearings were all toast. Because the parts were so new, it was going to be nearly impossible to rebuild the engine, and it was cheaper to replace the engine. We got a complete engine and put it in (it was not covered under warranty and it cost her $6000 parts and labor). The worst part about it was the dealership free oil changes all you had to pay for was the filter and an environmental charge - total cost $9.71. Donald H.

Today it seemed to be closely tided to my on and off cycling of the climate control system. . When the CCS was trying to come on the SRS light would be on . . Don't know if I have two issues or one with two symptoms . . I also heard some additional noises in the dash this morning. . Wasn't quite flaps closing and opening. . more like popping. .

Mobil 1 Synthair, it's a lot better than a straight nitrogen mix -- it has some oxygen, CO2, and other exotic gases mixed in. I understand that if I use the proper amount/weight, along with magnetic turbolizer fill tubes to align the electrons, it will boost my fuel economy, improve tire life, and save the environment. Once it is used up it can be bio-recycled. WalMart DOES NOT sell it, you have to buy it at specialty boutique auto parts suppliers, you need a license to use it that you can get from some government web site, and you have to pay a special tax on it (which subsidizes its use by people who could not otherwise afford it).

I showed her how to start it and warm it up, and how to twiddle the blower knob such that the defrost comes on, and she goes off to drop the kids at school, and I go off to work. Half an hour later I get a call, 'I can't start the car!' She can't get the starter knob to pull from the off (all the way in) position. I have her turn the knob a bit, turn the key, no joy. I believe she really was pulling as hard as she could, or at least I got an earful when I suggested she get someone else to try pulling on it. So I offer to come pick her up, and of course she says coldly 'I'll just walk home.' Fifteen minutes later I get another call. 'I got it to start, but now I'm stuck at the grocery store.' This time she lets me go pick her up. We trade cars, boom, starter knob works for me on the first try. Because of this - and because my wife has dainty hands and weak thumbs - I don't think it was a mechanical (interlock or other) issue but just a matter of getting the force to move the knob off the stop. I'm sure there's some way to fix this - I can't very well run after my wife every time she parks, but she does enjoy driving the Benz and it really was her pick for her car so I'd like to make it work. Is there some lubrication point for the knob, or do I just need to take it out and try to get it cleaned off? Or is there a better way? Anyway, that's my tale of woe for the day, hope you get a chuckle even if you don't have any suggestions. :) -TC ___ 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 No virus found in this incoming message.

Re: [MBZ] OT College Football
Ever notice how the non-perennial powerhouse school fans like to talk trash, then are suddenly silent when the trash bites them in the butt? Can MO handle a rematch with Texas if they win out? The rest of their schedule is a cakewalk (KU isn't THAT good) so they should win the rest of their games. Can the Missouri fans handle another butt whipping from the ugly Horns?

Mobil 1 Synthair, it's a lot better than a straight nitrogen mix -- it
has
some oxygen, CO2, and other exotic gases mixed in. I understand that
if I
use the proper amount/weight, along with magnetic turbolizer fill
tubes to
align the electrons, it will boost my fuel economy, improve tire life,
and
save the environment. Once it is used up it can be bio-recycled.
WalMart DOES NOT sell it, you have to buy it at specialty boutique
auto
parts suppliers, you need a license to use it that you can get from
some
government web site, and you have to pay a special tax on it (which
subsidizes its use by people who could not otherwise afford it). It's
kinda hard to find, but a great product.

Re: [MBZ] OT College Football
UT's got the worst shedule they've faced in many years with 4 weeks in a row of top 10 opponents. I wouldn't be worried about UT stacking up against each of them individually, but by the end of this stretched they may be pretty banged up. Back in the old days, it was the week after OU that was always the scariest, since both teams would beat the crap out of each other. Now I'm beginning to worry about back to back OU, Mizzou, Okie State, and then Texas Tech. I'm assuming Texas doesn't goof off and lose the easy ones against the Aggies or Baylor... To answer your question, though, I was going to let the pretenders bask in their deluded glory without pointing out the fact that the only team of any consequence Mizzou beat was Kansas last year. If they were beating up on Kansas in basketball, I might be a little more impressed, but football? Fugidaboudit.

[MBZ] WD40
I heard or read somewhere (probably here) that WD40 was the 40th formulation whoever invented it tried to get a water displacer, and it is basically diesel fuel in a spray can. Anybody know the story of that stuff? I know that after it dries out in/on whatever it is sprayed in/on, it leaves a gummy residue (check the top of the spray can where it drips in there), which is why it is not good as a lube for locks and such. --R Allan Streib wrote: andrew strasfogel [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: WD-40 is the Wal-Mart of spray lubricants.

[MBZ] OT xp v vista
In case anybody remembers, I bought this new computer with Vista installed. Wanted to wipe it out, install XP, Did that right away but had no sound or video drivers. Had to go back to Vista. For giggles I completely unplugged the hard drive that came with computer with the vista on it and installed XP on the old hard drive from the old computer I still had installed in the new computer. Got it running, still no sound or video drivers. Was able to locate drivers, got that installed, now I have video and sound like it should. Computer runs MUCH faster on the xp install instead of the vista. So. Im really wanting to switch over completely to vista. Wonder if I can do a xp install on this drive over the vista so I dont have to move all my crap over and reinstall everything. Or if I would be better off reinstalling everything on the xp drive and moving over mail, book marks etc. DOnt really want to do that if I can avoid it. -- Kaleb C.

No one could have beaten Texas in that game and a lot of teams could have beaten Mizzou. Texas may just go 14-0. They have a tough schedule ahead of them, but they are playing VERY WELL. If we have a chance to play Texas again (in the Big 12 Championship), I guarantee it will be a different game. It will be at Arrowhead in Kansas City. Texas will be a VERY tough opponent, but Mizzou can beat them. By the way, Texas still has to beat Oklahoma State. I wouldn't count out Oklahoma or Ok -State from winning the Big 12 South. Donald H.

Any team that can make it out of the Big 12 with 12 wins has played a bunch of good teams. We also played Ole Miss (in Oxford). Playing an SEC team at their house is always difficult.

Re: [MBZ] OT xp v vista
Depends on how you installed things on your xp drive. I like to put the OS and programs on C then store all data on D or higher. Most Winders software makes this process intentionally difficult. They want you to put all the crap on C. but when I have all software that allows this process, I can wipe c at any time and install the OS and software, point the software at its data store, and everything is functional. A better way to to make each box in essence a smart terminal and store all data on NAS or on a raid set up on a computer serving as a file server. Map a network drive to your storage space and point all your data there. IN this scenario, you can work off different computers in different rooms or an unleashed laptop and all your data is always available. So get Wonko to set up a box as a penguin file server and network controller. Then move your data to the file server, and map a drive. Point all your software to save files on the file server. Then eliminate the Wishta bloatware and install your OS of choice, along with the software you need. For anyone with a Winders server beyond NT$, you get into the group policies, find the one to redirect MY documents. Set up a shared users folder on your raid. In the user profile, you click on the profiles tab, click on the connect choose the file server drive where the users folder is, then in the blank, put in the UNC path to where users is (\\myserver\users\%username%) and add the user variable, %username% after it. Then copy that path and put it in the folder redirection policy to redirect my Documents to that path. Sounds more complicated than it is. What this does is make a personal folder inside the users folder for each user set up this way, the next time that user logs in. Then MyDocuments is redirected to that folder on the server rather than buried inside the user profile on the C drive. THen when your computer or drive shoots craps, your data is there and you can access it fm another computer. Of course, you still have to have a disaster recovery plan for the storage. RAIDs are good, but not infallable, especially if not monitored. At 04:03 PM 10/22/2008, you wrote: In case anybody remembers, I bought this new computer with Vista installed.

Re: [MBZ] WD40
WD40 is a water displacement not a lubricant! The product was developed to quickly dry out gear in the field. You can spray it on boots, tent fabric electronics gear with no ill effects the solution will immediately drive off moisture.
