Re: [MBZ] Glow Plug Current Problem??
Jim - I measured .5 Ohm with a voltage drop of 2 volts, which means it's only 4A, not 60A. Might there be a problem with the relay? You're measuring different things. And your glow plugs, getting red hot as they do, don't stay at 0.5 ohms while operating. That's why the resistance value is nothing more than a rough guide. If you can measure the current directly that is the best. And, a normally-operating system won't lose more than X amount of voltage along the way from the battery to the plugs. Dunno what X is, but it ought to be 1/2 Volt or thereabouts. If you're actually measuring (reliably) 0.5 ohm from the relay to the glow plug (and not including the glow plug) you have some seriously bad wire there. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] Glow Plug Current Problem??
Something like 1/2V is more like normal, you're only drawing something like 60A (and yes, Ohm's law applies) while glowing. Jim - I measured .5 Ohm with a voltage drop of 2 volts, which means it's only 4A, not 60A. Might there be a problem with the relay? When were the valves last adjusted? Last week. Are the fuel filters clean and full of clear fuel? Yes, also changed last week Do you have fuel at the injectors when cranking? Confirmed An air leak in the fuel delivery line will make the engine very hard to start without a great deal of cranking.

Re: [MBZ] Front end shake, tires/alignment/?
Get new tires -- likely you have a belt separating, and while the shop certainly should have noticed it, sometimes the tread won't show enough strange wear and doesn't "snake" enough when turned by hand to be obvious. Static balancing won't fix this, as the balance of the tire is changing with increasing rotational speed. A dynamic balance would, but I've not seen a real on the car dynamic balancer in ages. Also have them check for a loose wheel bearing or bad shock. The latter usually causes serious cupping pretty fast, though. Peter On Mar 30, 2009, at 10:12 PM, Alex Chamberlain wrote: Half OT: SWMBO's Subaru, usually trouble-free, suddenly developed a nasty shake, not just palpable but visible in the steering wheel. This starts around 60-65 mph, and also shows up a bit when braking at slightly lower speeds. I looked underneath for any obvious damage to wheels, tires, and suspension components. Nothing looked out of the ordinary. We took the car to Friendly Local Tire/Brake/Suspension Shop, which charged $50 to balance all four wheels, and said that would help things, but also noted that one rear wheel was bent. I drove the car on the highway a few days later, and the symptoms weren't improved at all. If anything the shake is worse. I can't see any damage whatsoever to any of the wheels from either outside or underneath, although I haven't taken them off the car to see them better. When I've had a bent wheel before on other cars that was bad enough to affect handling, it's been obvious to the eye (either a visible flat spot in the rim, or less often a sort of warp such that the wheel wobbles visibly off the axis when the car is on a lift and the wheel is rotated by hand, like an out-of-true bicycle wheel). Even if a rear wheel really was bent, could that really cause such a bad vibration in the *front* end that you could feel it through the steering wheel? Isn't the standard test whether handling problems are wheel/tire related to rotate the tires front to back, precisely *because* an out-of-balance wheel or whatever is felt less when in the rear? I'm planning to go back to the tire shop and ask them to either give me back my $50 or do something to earn it. I'm thinking that they either couldn't or didn't balance the wheels properly, or couldn't diagnose the problem beyond that, and blamed (or just made up) the bent wheel as a cover. Any thoughts?

[MBZ] Front end shake, tires/alignment/?
Half OT: SWMBO's Subaru, usually trouble-free, suddenly developed a nasty shake, not just palpable but visible in the steering wheel. This starts around 60-65 mph, and also shows up a bit when braking at slightly lower speeds. I looked underneath for any obvious damage to wheels, tires, and suspension components. Nothing looked out of the ordinary. We took the car to Friendly Local Tire/Brake/Suspension Shop, which charged $50 to balance all four wheels, and said that would help things, but also noted that one rear wheel was bent. I drove the car on the highway a few days later, and the symptoms weren't improved at all. If anything the shake is worse. I can't see any damage whatsoever to any of the wheels from either outside or underneath, although I haven't taken them off the car to see them better. When I've had a bent wheel before on other cars that was bad enough to affect handling, it's been obvious to the eye (either a visible flat spot in the rim, or less often a sort of warp such that the wheel wobbles visibly off the axis when the car is on a lift and the wheel is rotated by hand, like an out-of-true bicycle wheel). Even if a rear wheel really was bent, could that really cause such a bad vibration in the *front* end that you could feel it through the steering wheel? Isn't the standard test whether handling problems are wheel/tire related to rotate the tires front to back, precisely *because* an out-of-balance wheel or whatever is felt less when in the rear? I'm planning to go back to the tire shop and ask them to either give me back my $50 or do something to earn it. I'm thinking that they either couldn't or didn't balance the wheels properly, or couldn't diagnose the problem beyond that, and blamed (or just made up) the bent wheel as a cover. Any thoughts?

Re: [MBZ] Temptations...
Local CL has a 1990 560SEL for $2195, looks just like our SDL but shinier and probably not wrecked several times, Ah, the eternal holy grail of the cheap 126 that stays cheap after you buy it. Never gonna happen. Resist the siren's sweet call! The temptation has been removed. Largely by parking it in my driveway. Looks good, has heated seats, reclining rear, etc. Needs some TLC, but nothing too bad. Is leaking oil out the SLS pump, and somewhere else that it can be burned off of a hot bit. Also won't upshift if you're into the throttle heavily. Otherwise drove well. AC probably non-functional. http://userweb.windwireless.net/~jimc/SEL.html The thought was that this might be a quicker way to get Jill back into a large 126 than fixing up the SDL. (Which I still intend to do.) And/or making one ideal car out of two, if things need to go that way. (There would be State issues, though.) If I seem to disappear, it IS foul play. My body will be easy to find, in the trunk of this car and pushed/buried in our woods somewhere. OTOH it's a white stretch 126, maybe Jill will think it's the SDL and won't notice. She tends to put gasoline in the things anyway... -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] Glow Plug Current Problem??
Yesterday I checked the voltage at the GPs. At the relay, the voltage was 12 volts, but at the GPs, it was 10 volts! Is a 2 volt drop across the GP wire bundle normal?? The GP wires all approx.1/2 Ohm resistance. What should it be? Could the current be low from the relay (thinking V = IR) ? You sure you saw 12V at the relay with the system glowing? A 2V drop is a bit excessive, otherwise. The usual diag trick is to put the + of the meter on the battery +, then probe successively downstream looking for a voltage jump on the way to the plugs. Something like 1/2V is more like normal, you're only drawing something like 60A (and yes, Ohm's law applies) while glowing. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] Another weird W123 speedo question
speedometer. How would I ADVANCE the miles on the instrument to bring the odometer (currently reading 234,000 miles) up to 320,000? You can push the shaft (partially) out of the odometer and then put it back together with the gears rotated. Not for the faint of heart, but entirely do-able. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] vacuum coolant filler
BTW, in 1970, I built a vacuum system for IBM in Research Triangle Park, NC, using this principle. The electric motor-operated vacuum system that I used originally burned out the motor brushes in 2 weeks. Meanwhile, they were dumping much excess compressed air overboard/outside. I quickly adapted only a small portion of their excess compressed air though a venturi to provide appropriate pickup vacuum at 10 punch machines that punched little holes in circuit cards. The vacuum system I built had no additional moving parts and collected the little pieces punched and trimmed from the cards. My system "ran" 24/7.

Re: [MBZ] Another weird W123 speedo question
You can take a chunk of broken speedo cable and a reversible electric drill. secure the speedo, put the square end in the speedo cable in the speedo, then chuck the round end in the drill. I think you go forward to advance the miles. Then you need to secure the drill. It must be an industrial grade drill. turn the drill on and check to see it is going in the right direction. You will see a mile or two click up in 10-20 minutes. Once you are sure it is going the right direction, go about your normal activities. Check daily for progress. I think it will take 3-7 days to get the miles you want. It might take a month. you might wear out a drill or two first. Seriously... I took 1000 miles of an odo once for tire warranty. I let the drill run overnight. The only good way to do this is either to try taking it apart yourself, or sending it into a speedo shop. A lot simpler and cheaper to make an odo change sheet that documents the mileage change and keep a record in your file and a copy in the glove box. At 06:27 PM 3/30/2009, you wrote: 1) Install in vehicle, adjust speedometer as appropriate. 2) Drive 86000 miles. Alternatively, I'll bet you could get a conveniently-sized drill bit, set it up in a bench vise, and spin where the cable goes, if it's non-electric. Maybe insert a sacrificial plastic ring (pencil eraser?) to make sure you don't mar the plug. I've never tried it and probably never will, but that's my idea for the day. :) Not having dismantled a Benz speedometer, might it be possible to just replace the odometer with the old one? -Tim -Original Message- From: andrew strasfogel Sent: Monday, March 30, 2009 5:13 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: [MBZ] Another weird W123 speedo question I may obtain a used speedo to use in my 1983 300TD with the jittery speedometer.

Re: [MBZ] Another weird W123 speedo question
1) Install in vehicle, adjust speedometer as appropriate. 2) Drive 86000 miles. Alternatively, I'll bet you could get a conveniently-sized drill bit, set it up in a bench vise, and spin where the cable goes, if it's non-electric. Maybe insert a sacrificial plastic ring (pencil eraser?) to make sure you don't mar the plug. I've never tried it and probably never will, but that's my idea for the day. :) Not having dismantled a Benz speedometer, might it be possible to just replace the odometer with the old one? -Tim -Original Message- From: andrew strasfogel Sent: Monday, March 30, 2009 5:13 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: [MBZ] Another weird W123 speedo question I may obtain a used speedo to use in my 1983 300TD with the jittery speedometer.

Re: [MBZ] OT, front loading washers
This is the market the Staber fills in modern washing machines. We got one cheap on ebay, and are really happy with it. It does leak if you put too much detergent (takes .5-1oz of the low-sud stuff) and the belt will jump off every now and again, but Staber doesn't rip you off on parts when you order from them, nor do they care if you open it up without special factory training. Takes all of 5 minutes to gain access to every part on the machine. Factory shop manuals for all components are free on staber.com. Our Staber is currently offline due to a stuck motor brush, and I haven't made it to a motor shop to get a new one. I will take Mitch's advice and check McMaster-Carr... (I can order a new motor from Staber, but I figure I have to exhaust the brush route first. :) Running, yes, a 30yo Maytag in its absence, which I conveniently paralleled into the plumbing when installing the Staber. Staber has about 2/3 the capacity of the "extra large" Maytag, we do one load per day (2 kids 2 adults) in either washer. I can get away with skipping a day or two a week on the Maytag, on the Staber I have to run extras if I miss one. The Staber did a better job getting water out; the dryer often runs 1.5-2 cycles on a Staber-sized Maytag load, and never ran a full cycle on a Staber load. All told it is a nice machine, since we got ours used I can't say how warranty support is but in the aftermarket legacy support is surprisingly good. I made no bones about my ebay buy and the support folks have always been willing to talk to me on the phone anyway, and seem to really like the product.

[MBZ] Glow Plug Current Problem??
Hi All, Back again after a long absence...with a problem... My 85 300CD won't start. It runs great once it starts (w/ jumping, boosting, charger in place), but over the period of a week it got so it would not start period. I replaced batter, GPs, filters, adjusted valves, checked IP timing, etc. etc., basically everything I could without ripping the engine apart. Still no start. Yesterday I checked the voltage at the GPs. At the relay, the voltage was 12 volts, but at the GPs, it was 10 volts! Is a 2 volt drop across the GP wire bundle normal?? The GP wires all approx.1/2 Ohm resistance. What should it be? Could the current be low from the relay (thinking V = IR) ? Need some help here please.

Re: [MBZ] driveline noise diagnosis? ('85 300D)
hey Rusty!
just getting back to this; was able to get under the car late last
week and turn the wheels; got strange clicking Bad Noises from the right
axle shaft.
$159.99 seems to be quite a bit lower than most of the quotes i
recall getting around town! just curious; are those German parts, or
something else?
cheers!

You probably have a torn boot on one of your rear axle shafts, which it
turn causes the joint to go bad. The noise will come and go for a while
till it finally comes for good. Just get a good used one and be done
with it.

hi gang!
time for an invitation to play one of our least favorite games;
diagnosis of an intermittent noise via the internet. ;-*
the suspect: Helga; an '85 300D California car, with just over 170K
miles on it that i've had for the last 50K+ miles.
scenario: trunk moderately full of Christmas goodies and luggage,
cruising I5 at around 70+MPH on a trip downstate last week. about 3-4
hours out i started hearing a rhythmic noise that sounded at first like
a tire thumping, but there was no associated vibration to be felt. this
noise gradually became progressively louder; enough that i pulled off to
see if there might be something stuck under the car flapping, or
anything else visibly out of sorts, but peeping and grabbing and shaking
things didn't turn up any likely culprits. after crawling around under
the car for a bit and sitting on the side of the road, i decided to move
the normally dependable beast to a better location, and lo! no noise
whatsoever. we decided to see how close to our destination we could get
and proceeded, only to not have the noise show back up in the next
hour-plus; just enough time to get us over the Grapevine before dark.
to make a long story short, this scenario repeated itself with varied
frequency throughout the next several hundred miles; sometimes without
any noises for hours, and other times coming back in as little as 40
miles. sometimes once the noise starts it sounds like a u-joint
click-clunking as the vehicle comes to a slow, and other times it makes
almost no noise at all while coming down to a stop.
once the noise shows up it may or may not worsen under load, and may
or may not worsen with speed. sometimes it goes away immediately as soon
as the vehicle comes to a stop, and other times it seems to need to sit
for a while. we ended up making a practice of finding many excuses to
stop on the premise of giving our dog more places to sniff, and that
seemed to keep the noise at bay somewhat.
final note of concern was while driving a short errand around town
last night, a sharp "Clank!" was heard followed immediately by something
that sounded for all the world like a bolt falling out of place; yet
nothing has been found to appear out of place yet by crawling around
under the car. note of concern to me, this was the first time there have
been serious noises that weren't rhythmic, and this showed up while the
car had just started doing errands at sub-35 MPH.
my impression is that this is something related to the driveline
based on the rhythm, but i'm not sure what i might need to look for.
driveline doesn't seem to have any undue play when twisted by hand,
there aren't any tears on the axle boots, and there doesn't seem to be
anything out of the ordinary underneath.
i *hate* intermittent problems. i also hate problems that i can't
repeat with the vehicle at rest, making it impossible to accurately
determine where the noise(s) come from.
any hints, tips, or clues as to what i might look for before i have
to just start addressing the problem shotgunning-style by just replacing
everything that moves down there?
cheers!

Re: [MBZ] OT, front loading washers
My gosh, the "old reliable" maytag top loading machine is the 123 240D 4 spd of washing machines. solid, and dependable and so simple you can fix anything yourself. Nothing on the market now is built so well. You don't even have to take anything apart to change the belt. Just tip the machine up to get to it. I bought a set about the time they brought out their "neptune" line (12-14 yrs ago?) The bearings went out on the dryer motor a year ago, but other than that, they are good as new. Cost me $100 for a new motor. On Sun, 29 Mar 2009 23:33 -0500, "Kaleb C. Striplin" wrote: > Thinking about replacing my 10 year old top loading Maytag.

Re: [MBZ] value 300D
Yeah there were some there /i think. I took some pics with my phone camera, later on I will get them transferred over and send one along. There was at least one blue 300D, I did not look inside closely but I think it was blue. One or two others silver or blue or both.

[MBZ] top loading washer
Hi Kaleb, We recently downsized to a smaller house. Among other priorities, we wanted to bring the laundry up to the first floor from the basement. So I converted our pantry into a pantry/laundry, installed the plumbing and electrics, and we purchased new, full-size stackable machines to save space: Whirlpool Duet front loading washer and dryer . The machines are quiet, energy efficient, and do a great job. She loves the machines... and I have had no problems and no complaints. (Our previous machine, a Kenmore purchased in 1979, stayed with the old house, and was still running fine, btw.) I agree with Barry's comments below re: water use and energy efficiency. I also agree that there seems to be a general consensus among the repairmen that Maytag is not the Gold Standard it once was. Some of their products were apparently made by Samsung. Whirlpool has bought them out, along with a few other manufacturers. Tom Schuch 1975 W115 300D and a few BMWs SE Connecticut Message: 4 Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2009 23:33:09 -0500 From: "Kaleb C.
