Re: [MBZ] Anybody there?

[John Reames]

Fwiw, some of the W210's have a coolant line that runs across the car behind 
the front bumper cover; it runs from somewhere around the duovalve to the frame 
rail near the washer fluid reservoir. 

I've had a case (related to a minor impact) where this popped out of the 
retainer and rubbed through, resulting in a hard to find leak...

Good luck!

Re: [MBZ] Anybody there?

Hey you ought to check in the Charleston area, and even upstate, a lot 
of manufacturing is going on here, Boeing, BMW, Michelin, and a load of 
smaller companies.  They seem to be hiring, and looking for good people 
-- problem is that a lot of folks can't move if they have to sell their 
house, and it is putting a crimp in hiring.  Or so I read in the paper.  
If you are in a position to move freely, that might be good for you.  
And it ain't a half-bad place to live.

still running the company and his daughter (Susanne) is Vice President&

Kinzenberger is the guy who beat John Deere at the bigger better game.
That is not easy to do.

As I said to the HR person who interviewed me, seeders have progressed
tremendously since I was around them in Calhan, CO, in the late '80s.
Planting 24 rows of seed 30" apart at once is rather an impressive feat.

And now, they have the Kinze Autonomy Project:

 Kinze Manufacturing recently gave the agricultural industry a glimpse
 into its future with the unveiling of an autonomous planter that
 operates without a driver in the tractor cab.

It has two video cameras, a differential GPS, and a lidar (light radar)
to keep it on track and keep it from running over things it should not.



He also was a red green guy.  They built a lot to sell to John Deere
(Green ) guys, and International/Case IH (red) guys, but he has a very
impressive collection of IH (red) tractors.

I know they have done a lot of "repowering" of both red and green
tractors with large commercial diesel engines.



The bonus for SWMBO, is Williamsburg has one of the nicer "outlet
Malls" in the country.

I saw that on Google Maps. Shirley had an uncle who was pastor of a
church there in the early '70s. She said it must have really improved.



Vermeer and Pella Corp are also good places to work.  Deere should be
hiring, as that sector of the economy is strong.

If you get an interview at Kinze, let me know.

I don't know if Pella (they are the ones who make windows, aren't they?)
would be hiring electronic engineers like Kinze. Vermeer I have heard of,
but I'm not familiar with their product offerings. I'll have to take a
look.

I'm not holding my breath for an interview. I last heard from the HR
person a week-and-a-half ago. I called the recruiter in Topeka through
whom I found the opportunity this past Monday. She said the HR person had
been out sick part of last week but was in now and that she would call
the HR person and get back with me. I have not heard anything yet. I
guess I'll call again tomorrow.

[MBZ] '95 E320 Leaking Coolant

[Craig]

Well, I got the car up on the ramps (which was more difficult because I
didn't want to start up the engine) and took off the belly pan (which is
a plastic-type material).

I had Shirley start the engine and once it warmed up and started leaking,
found roughly where the leak is coming from. It's on the driver's side of
the block toward the front and toward the top. I think it's coming from
the water pump. The thing has a belt driven pulley and a lot of hoses
going to it and has the thermostat on top. Being used to water pumps
behind the fan pulley, it seems a little odd, but apparently they put it
on the side of the block to shorten the engine.

I looked around while I was under the car and then on top and have some
questions:

1. How does one loosen the serpentine belt? The E420 has a spring-loaded
   idler that provides the tension, but I saw nothing like that. The belt
   needs to be replaced.

2. Where are the spark plugs and distributor? (Dumb question, I know, but
   I saw no trace of them.)

3. It appears that to get the radiator out I need to take off the fan and
   the radiator shroud and maybe other things. Is that correct?

4. Anyone been there, done that?

Thanks,


Craig

Coil packs. Never thought of them. That must be where the spark plugs are,
too.

Any ideas on the other questions?

Re: [MBZ] '95 E320 Leaking Coolant

[Dan Penoff]

Coil pack, or what some domestic manufacturers call "COP" or "coil on plug" are 
nothing more than individual ignition coils that are typically mounted directly 
on top of the spark plug.

To get to a spark plug you merely disconnect the wiring harness connector to 
the coil pack and twist/pull to remove the coil pack from the spark plug.

Re: [MBZ] cheap 84 Mercedes-Benz 300D Turbo - $1000 needs tranny

[Rich Thomas]

You know you want both those cars.  You can buy them, I would drive up 
to DC in one, see the boy, fly back home.  Then you can part out the 
other one, or just resell it.

Not always. The M104 has three coil packs, each firing two plugs 
simultaneously. The V-6s have six coil packs. Between 2 V-6s (one with 2 plugs 
per 
cylinder) and one M104, there have been no ignition problems.

For half that money you can buy a much improved 1996 + model. Bet the
top hydraulics are all screwed up from lack of use.

On these complicated models, low mileage is not an advantage.

A common arrangement on sixes--the V-6 in my '93 Isuzu Trooper is the same
way.  During any given crankshaft revolution one plug is firing at the
start of the power stroke and one at the start of the exhaust stroke.  I
don't really understand the point of the latter unless it helps emissions
by igniting some leftover hydrocarbons that would otherwise hit the cat
unburnt.

Re: [MBZ] coil packs

[Dan Penoff]

I was generalizing for the benefit of explaining the concept.  As a former 
NIASE certified mechanic, I am well aware of the various iterations of coil 
packs that are out there.

No need to confuse the boy, just giving him an idea of what they are so he can 
conceptualize them.

It's just cheaper to set up 3 coils than 6?

My 81 '240D and '81 300D looked good with painted wheel covers; I'd think 
and '84 would, too.

Re: [MBZ] coil packs

[Dieselhead]

Somebody sez:
 >  M104 has three coil packs, each firing two plugs

 simultaneously.


A common arrangement on sixes--the V-6 in my '93 Isuzu Trooper is the same
way.  During any given crankshaft revolution one plug is firing at the
start of the power stroke and one at the start of the exhaust stroke.  I
don't really understand the point of the latter unless it helps emissions
by igniting some leftover hydrocarbons that would otherwise hit the cat
unburnt.

BMW Motorrad started that (spark on power and intake) in 1970 with 
the /5 series.  In the case of 2 cyl motorrad, two coils firing 
simultaneously each time there is a power stroke, so no distributor 
is needed.  In the '70s technology, there was one set of points that 
opened once per crankshaft revolution.

Nope. It's cheaper than putting in 6 coils.  The spark not in a
compression stroke is wasted.

Well, you could do the high density/expensive real estate solution. 
Buy a lift.  Put one on the lift, and park the other under it.  You 
get to park 2 cars in the same space that one car takes.


Or if you want a collection, you can get parking systems that store

Re: [MBZ] Anybody there?

There seems to be quite a few openings for medical physicists, and there are 
a number of graduate courses in medical physics; (Google: medical physics 
courses for graduates).
Craig may be running into the 50 year old rule which many employers have 
been following since studies were done showing declines in several 
parameters after that age.  The medical field, which is growing at a very 
high rate, doesn't seem to be concerned about ones age if a person can do 
the job.
Besides that there are far more hospitals than manufacturing plants and many 
are installing MRI, Catscan, and PETscan machines which seem to require 
medical physicists for their operation.

Thank you, Gerry, for your observations. Yes, I have seen openings for
medical physicists, and, yes, there are far more hospitals than
manufacturing plants.

I looked at the search results for "medical physics courses for
graduates" and found that it would take about two years of courses to get
that degree. It's not clear how already having a Ph.D. in physics would
affect that timetable.

At age 62, however, I'm not really inclined to go back to school a third
time.

In the M104, I think it's just cheaper since no harm is done by firing the 
other plug. The M112 twin plug 3-valve V-6 (early W203) does not have 
variable valve timing (not with one camshaft per bank) so the lower plug must 
have 
some emission role.

The M272 4-cam V-6 in my C300 with variable intake and exhaust timing has 
six coil packs for the six plugs.

Bingo.

The one problem is that if either plug/wire set has issues, both have
issues.

It's a waste spark setup and is quite cost effective.
