[MBZ] bcs whining some more
As mentioned previously, Texas and Alabama would not run the table. Frankly, I didn't think either one of them would and still don't think. Texas Tech is the last big 12 team with a shot at displacing Penn State in the title game. To do this, they had to beat number 1 Texas last night and top 10 teams Oklahoma State and Oklahoma in the next two games. Then they have to win the Big 12 title game. The odds are not good. On the SEC side, Alabama will have to win out against 2 good conference teams and then beat Florida, who in my estimation is the best team in the nation right now. Meanwhile, Penn State has be beat a pretty crappy Iowa team to continue their sham. ___ 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

Re: [MBZ] OT, moving thurderbird mail accounts
I have a laptop which is becoming my primary computer. I just got a new hard drive for it and installed Ubuntu as the primary OS, I run XP in VirtualBox. I doubt I will go back to M$ as primary OS on any computer in the future as VirtualBox just works. The great thing is that I made a back up of XP image just after XP was installed which means I can go back to that image at any time with out a reinstall.

[MBZ] OT: removing salt corrosion from aluminum
Is there any chemical that will remove the white chalky-looking corrosion from aluminum, I think this is mostly caused by road salt, you see this on manifolds, cases, etc. I've tried wire brushing and it does not seem to do much.

Re: [MBZ] dash removal 201
Yea, thats the one. Its got the high tech custom manual shutoff for the heat. Really want it to work properly. I know when I had it I was driving it during the winter and the heat turned on and off I think. I just ran thru the test procedure and it looks like every system has leaks. The one that leaks the least is actually the part with the heat shutoff valve. It will actually hold vacuum but leaks off slowly. Valve still did not shut like it should. Wonder if something is wrong with the pbu? With the CD you have to have special equipment to test it. Seems soembody has a test for it on their website somewhere. John Robbins wrote: Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] Intermittent Temp Gauge: Related Subject............
Angelo, Yes the removal tools can be produced from coat hangers that you make a small (approx. 1/2 inch) hook on near the end. I just prefer to use a purchased pair of removal tools as I am not at all mechanical. This hook is inserted between the dasj and the insturment cluster and then turned so that the hook catches the back of that instruemtn cluster. You do this approximately 1/2 way up - on both sides simultaneously - from the bottom of the cluster. Once you "feel" the hooks grab behind the instrument cluster pull both hooks towards you. MAKE SURE you have the hooks turned towards the back of the instrument cluster and NOT the other way around as this can rip the dash lining apart if done backwards. Once the instrumjent cluster is loose form the dashboard pull it out be hand as far as comfortably possible then reach behind and disconnect all fo the cables and plugs. Just pay close attention to whre they are going to have to be put back (what goes where.) Before re-installation hook everything back up and then turn on the ignition to make sure that you have replaced all of the light feeds into the correct "idiot" windows. I hope this helps.

[MBZ] W124 vibration question
First of all (especially for Kaleb), this is *not* a complaint about my "new" car. It is more something that I have pondered over the last couple of weeks, especially when my mind goes into idle -- something that seems to happen more and more lately. When driving my 300E, there is a vibration, much more felt than heard, when there is pressure on the accelerator pedal. The strange thing is, if I lift my foot from the accelerator pedal and coast, the vibration immediately goes away. That sort of eliminates ... well, everything I can think of as the culprit, except perhaps something related to the drive shaft. ... I've never noticed it under really-quick acceleration moments, such as merging onto I-80 with a heavy right foot, but perhaps that is because my broad smile distracts me. (Remember, my only previous Benz experience was in a 240D -- so nice to now measure 20-70 acceleration times in seconds rather than minutes!) Not sure if vibration is the correct description, more of a very low frequency growl -- but nothing you can hear as such, just something you can feel in your butt. (No, this is not related to flatulence in any way.)

[MBZ] 300E oil question (I almost hate to ask this!)
Mobil 1 web site recommends 0W-40 for my 300E. Not to be found around here, even at the Mega SuperWalMart in Ames. They had a shelf tag for it but when I asked the automotive manager about availability, he sort of laughed. Not a lost conversation though, because I think he is going to up his stock of 15W-50 after our chat about diesel Benz oil recommendations. Given that I have successfully used 15W-50 in my 240D, I can't see any reason why I can't run it in my 300E. The 15W-50 flows well in really cold temperatures and I can't see any downside of having -40 rather than -50. As an aside, the local Goodyear shop chose to pour in Kendall 5W-30 (the invoice said "semi-synthetic", whatever that means) when I had them do an oil change 400 miles ago. After driving at 75 mph on I-35 from Des Moines to Ames, the oil pressure needle was bouncing off of the 0 stop when I hit stoplights on Duff Avenue. (That makes sense only to Loren.) That makes me nervous. I reminded myself that my 240D drops the needle at stoplights and it has run nicely for a couple of years now. ___ 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

Re: [MBZ] W124 vibration question
You drove the 300E doing highway miles. I am primarily driving it at 35 mph, stop sign to stop sign. That is when I notice it. This certainly was not as apparent on I-80 / I-35 as it was doing the stop and go stuff in Jefferson or Ames. I am still trying to learn how to drive the 300E. Entered an on-ramp for I-80 today in Des Moines. Was doing about 30 mph as I glanced into my rear view mirror to check for merge traffic. Pressed down -- somewhat lightly, I thought -- on the go-pedal and got pushed back into my seat. As I merged at 70 mph (a very few seconds later), I backed off on the pedal -- I thought -- and continued accelerating to and thru 80 mph. That is 80 indicated, which by the GPS is about 85. The more I drive this car, the more I have flashbacks to flying the T-34. A turbo-prop (or a jet, for that matter) has a certain lag between power control input and response. With the 240D, you lift your foot and slow down. With the 300E, you lift your foot and the car says, "Yea, I will slow down when I get around to it." On Sun, Nov 2, 2008 at 6:48 PM, Kaleb C.

Nont to worry about the oil pressure, the guage on that car is a little flakey. It will bounce from about 1 or so to 0 at idle.

[MBZ] Intermittent Temp Gauge/Inst Cluster Removal
Here are the parts of my evapectomy summary relevant to inst cluster. (This was on a 124, but the removal tools are same for a 126, and 126 cluster extraction itself is basically the same.) The problem I had removing the cluster is rare - had not had this prob. on coupla 123 clusters I've removed, and have not heard of others having such problem, which was caused by an excess of factory glue squeezed out around the outside of the cluster holding it firmly in place. TOOLS: I made two instrument cluster extraction tools from coathangers: on one end of a piece of coathanger about 8" to 10" long, sharply bend a 3/16" length of it at 95 to 100 degrees to the main shaft; form a circle on the other end big enough to grasp and manipulate the tool well. STEERING WHEEL: I did not remove the steering wheel; 'just ran it full out and put front wheels straight ahead to have flat part of the steering wheel spoke on top to allow inst cluster clearance. SPEEDO CABLE I did not disconnect cable at tranny; merely released it at clip on side of steering column near floor and pulled slack from under car while pushing the slack up under dash toward inst cluster. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER: I had a REAL problem getting the inst cluster to slip out; the two rubber pads on the underside of it and two on top of it would NOT SLIP along the inner surface of the hole in the dash to allow me to extract the cluster. I was able to apply PLENTY of extraction force. I had firm grips on both sides of the cluster with my extraction tools about 3/4" down from the curved, upper corner on each side or about 2 inches up on the sides from the bottom corners - the cluster WOULD NOT MOVE. I was finally able to move the cluster after I pushed the blade of a 2-inch-wide putty knife beneath the cluster and pushed one of the rubber pads out of place toward the front of the car. I then reached in from the underside and removed the pad with channel-lock pliers aided by a mirror and feeling with my fingers. After I removed the cluster, I found some factory glue on the outside of it that had overflowed or squeezed out of the dash and insulation. This glue and the stuck rubber pads held the cluster fast enough that I had been unable to move it normally. Before unplugging wires on the instrument cluster, I color-coded them with different color paints - the small lamp sockets across the bottom right of the cluster are all alike and can be easily plugged into the wrong socket on re-assembly. Before re-inserting the cluster, make sure all the bulbs are secure in their sockets - not loose.

Re: [MBZ] W124 vibration question
This is true of all gasser benzes -- they LOVE to run, and you get much more power at the upper end of the rpm range that the bottom. Also, the linkage opens the throttle in a very linear manner, leading to the complaint that they don't have enough power off the line. They have it, of course, but you have to mash the pedal ALL the way down through the kickdown switch to get it all, light throttle gives you a small throttel opening, unlike current GM and Japo/Korean cars where the throttle snaps halfway open when you move the pedal off idle, causing the car to leap at stop lights. If you want to slow down, take your foot OFF the pedal, just lifting it will just slowly reduce your speed! My old 280 SE 4.5 is a dream to drive on the intestate -- road speed is directly related to pedal position, and if you stomp down it flat flies! Way too easy to run 95-100 mph without thinking.

This certainly was not as apparent on I-80 / I-35 as it was doing the stop and go stuff in Jefferson or Ames. I am still trying to learn how to drive the 300E. Entered an on- ramp for I-80 today in Des Moines. Was doing about 30 mph as I glanced into my rear view mirror to check for merge traffic. Pressed down -- somewhat lightly, I thought -- on the go-pedal and got pushed back into my seat. As I merged at 70 mph (a very few seconds later), I backed off on the pedal -- I thought -- and continued accelerating to and thru 80 mph. That is 80 indicated, which by the GPS is about 85. The more I drive this car, the more I have flashbacks to flying the T-34. A turbo-prop (or a jet, for that matter) has a certain lag between power control input and response. With the 240D, you lift your foot and slow down. With the 300E, you lift your foot and the car says, "Yea, I will slow down when I get around to it." On Sun, Nov 2, 2008 at 6:48 PM, Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] Fwd: Vibrations
Check the rear too, I've had one blow out (not fun on the interstate). A bad front flex disk will also cause thumps on downshifts (but then, so will bad differential mounts).

The strange thing is, if I lift my foot from the accelerator pedal and coast, the vibration immediately goes away.

Well, I guess that's the price of progress ;-) Mine won't idle well, but it will run --- I suspect yours burns even less fuel as well -- I was basing my comments on my cars .

[MBZ] Neutral Start Interlock
Hi, The 82 300CD starter problem has been solved...almost. It needed both a new starter and neutral start interlock switch. While it waits for the new switch, can anyone tell me where to jumper the switch from inside the car? I can do it at the switch itself, but then the reverse light switch won't work.

Re: [MBZ] 300E oil question (I almost hate to ask this!)
I don't think you are being anal. Oil pressure that bounces between 0 - 1 BAR at idle & then goes full scale at road speed is not the gauge, it's the oil pump or main bearings! Thanks, Tom Hargrave www.kegkits.com 256-656-1924 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wonko the Sane Sent: Sunday, November 02, 2008 8:04 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] 300E oil question (I almost hate to ask this!) Is that the gauge or the sending unit? I'd like to fix it. Just so you don't think I am totally anal -- not yet to be ruled out -- I had the philosophy drilled into my head for years that you *trust your gauges* (while having fun way up there in the sky, and actually being paid to do it) and react accordingly. If oil pressure falls to 0 on one of the engines, you don't say, "Oh, the gauge is flaky." You beat feet for the nearest airport and review your feather-engine checklist.
