Re: [MBZ] 95 rusted out cat converter
I had one car (hyundai excel) which had the first cat mounted to the bottom of the manifold. It was secured by 5-6 bolts about the circumference which went through the top of the manifold. You couldn't buy a cat, but you could buy the manifold (which always had the cat bolted to it). You'd need the manifold, as when the cat died, the overheating would cause the manifold casting to develop many cracks. -- John W Reames jream...@verizon.net Home: +14106646986 Mobile: +14437915905 On Oct 13, 2012, at 8:12, Max Dillon meadedil...@bellsouth.net wrote: Thanks Ron.

[MBZ] 1973 Mercedes ?s smoke, valve seals, vacuum pump, sunroof
Hello, I would like to ask for some knowledge about a 1973 280. I bought it a few months ago on craigslist. I'm not sure of how many miles it has due to the odometer not working, but I can live with that. I am in high school and this is my first car. As one would expect from a 16 year old, I don't have a whole lot of automotive experience or skill, but I have been working on restoring an old Jeep for a few years, so I'm not completely mechanically inept. I will try to repair whatever I can myself before even thinking of taking into a mechanic. First of all, the car smokes after getting up to temperature(maybe after driving 4-9 miles). It is a white smoke from the exhaust. Because of this I've been careful about regularly checking the oil. The seller said that they had it looked at by a mechanic, who told them it needs new valve seals. I purchased the new seals and plan to install them myself. Can I do it with the head still on the engine? If so, wouldn't the pistons have to be at top dead center to do job? What I was wondering is how to turn the crank in order to do this. It doesn't look like there enough room to fit a socket wrench onto the front of the engine to turn it. The fan, vacuum pump, A/C, and radiator all seem to be in the way. Is there a way to turn the engine without removing the radiator? Also, if I'm careful, can I reuse all of the gaskets and seals, or would I have to buy new ones. I was also wondering about the vacuum pump. Is it really necessary at all? Would there be any benefit in removing it? Does it put extra strain on the engine? What would I have to do to remove it? Also, the sun roof doesn't work. It worked for a couple days after I bought the car, then stopped working. When I press the open button nothing happens, but when I press the close button I hear the electric motor. The seller said it something about the fuses kept going out. I haven't found any bad fuses. Is the sunroof fuse in the main fusebox that has around 9 or 10 fuses in it, or somewhere else? My dad and I ran a multimeter on some things found that the motor is good, but that the switch might be a little messed up (of course we might have just tested it wrong). We tried to repair the switch to the best of out ability, but I feel like it was better off before. Maybe I should buy a new switch just incase we killed it (any good places to buy one). Anyways, has anyone else had similar troubles? I know it's not at all important to the operation of the vehicle, but it would be nice if it worked. Finally, are there any little nuances about operating and maintaining an old Mercedes W114 that I should know about? Other than these things I mentioned, I love the car and hope to keep it in good condition. -Conrad ___ 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://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

The damage caused can be serious: operating a battery at a temperature of 45°C instead of 35°C halves its service life. ..Thus far, conventional cooling systems have not reached their full potential: either the batteries are not cooled at all - which is the case with ones that are simply exchanged for a fully charged battery at the service station - or they are air cooled. But air can absorb only very little heat and is also a poor conductor of it. What's more, air cooling requires big spaces between the battery's cells to allow sufficient fresh air to circulate between them. Water-cooling systems are still in their infancy. Though their thermal capacity exceeds that of air-cooling systems and they are better at conducting away heat, their downside is the limited supply of water in the system compared with the essentially limitless amount of air that can flow through a battery.snip http://www.fraunhofer.de/en/press/research-news/2012/july/keeping-electric-vehicle-batteries-cool.html . there is a debate raging, over whether automakers should turn to air or liquid to regulate battery temperature, and the choice has provided fodder for some green car makers to toot their own horns or slam competitors.

As a result, the LEAF pack will have temperatures all over the place, claimed Musk, causing it to suffer huge degradation in cold environments and basically shut off in hot environments. General Motors for its Volt and Ford's line of hybrids and EVs, have also opted to use liquid for battery temperature regulation.snip http://gigaom.com/cleantech/electric-car-101-liquid-vs-air-battery-cooling-systems/ ___ 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://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] 1973 Mercedes ?s smoke, valve seals, vacuum pump, sunroof
Hi Conrad, and welcome! I didn't get started wrenching until after college, so you are already ahead of me. :) I would like to ask for some knowledge about a 1973 280. I bought it a few months The letters at the end are important, if there is an 'E' at the end it is fuel injected, if not it has a carburetor. I think both were available? Though there is a reasonable chance someone here will correct me based on the year. :) ) I will try to repair whatever I can myself before even thinking of taking into a mechanic. Good plan, even when I do hire a mechanic they seem to know less than I do about my cars. With something this old it helps to diy as much as possible. :) First of all, the car smokes after getting up to temperature(maybe after driving 4-9 miles). It is a white smoke Might it have a bluish tinge? Try holding a sheet of printer paper behind the smoke next time you park in the daylight. White is water/steam, blue is oil. Oil is pretty okay, water not so much. :/ ) from the exhaust. Because of this I've been careful about regularly checking the oil. Also make sure the radiator stays full. I think there is no overflow tank on that engine? If not you will probably always be a little below the filler neck, and that's okay. If it is oil, checking the oil is good, but unless you are leaving a huge plume of smoke you have some time to fix the problem and probably won't notice the loss in the oil pan for a while. Also, if you and your dad still aren't sure about the smoke, find the teacher at your school with the oldest car and ask for advice. At my high school it was the math teacher, or if you have a mechanic class that person. I am quite certain they would be happy to look at it. ) Can I do it with the head still on the engine? If so, wouldn't the pistons have to be at top dead center to do job? There will be markings externally so you can do this. Someone here will be able to tell you exactly where those are, but not me. :) ) What I was wondering is how to turn the crank in order to do this. On the diesels you can turn the power steering bolt, and there is enough tension on the accessory belt to turn the engine. You should be able to do the same. If not you can probably get a socket on the crank bolt - it should be a little recessed - to get a breaker bar on it. Only tip here is, guard the radiator! My 115 radiator was a few hundred dollars several years ago, I would not be surprised if they were over $500 by now. ) Also, if I'm careful, can I reuse all of the gaskets and seals, or would I have to buy new ones. The paper gaskets are probably going to tear up as you remove them, they are also very cheap. Seals you have some discretion; if you can leave the car in the driveway while parts ship you can decide once everything is apart. I usually order them because I would rather be able to finish in one day, and worst case I have some spares. I was also wondering about the vacuum pump. Is it really necessary at all? Would there be any benefit in removing it? Does it put extra strain on the engine? What would I have to do to remove it? Necessary: yes, it will drive either the carburetor or the injector timing. Yes, it adds load. You could theoretically create a computer to replace it... but don't, it's a fine old car as it is. :) Also, the sun roof doesn't work. It worked for a couple days after I bought the car, then stopped working. When I press the open button nothing happens, but when I press the close button I hear the electric motor. The seller said it Probably a bad switch. Pull it out and open it up (inside a shoe box, pieces and bearings will pop out). Try to clean everything and figure out how it should go back together. :) ) We tried to repair the switch to the best of out ability, but I feel like it was better off before. I should have kept reading. :) You could buy a new switch, but really you can get them back together - it often takes me several tries. I usually work on that sort of thing when I'm in a parking lot waiting for someone. ) Maybe I should buy a new switch just incase we killed it (any good places to buy one). Rusty knows a lot about these cars, and can order any parts you need. He will also be able to tell you what gaskets and seals you have to replace, should replace, and probably won't have to replace for a given job. Also a nice guy on the phone, and stands behind his products. Web site is buymbparts.biz but call him, phone prices are better and he'll give you all the time you need to get the right parts. (If you call and someone else answers, you should probably ask for Rusty unless you are 100% sure of your order. Tom is nice but doesn't have Rusty's experience. And no I don't get a commission, just a very satisfied customer. :) Finally, are there any little nuances about operating and maintaining an old Mercedes W114 that I should know about? 0) If it has a carburetor, learn
Re: [MBZ] 1973 Mercedes ?s smoke, valve seals, vacuum pump, sunroof
If it has a vacuum pump, I'm almost positive it's fuel injected (D- Jet), which is a VAST improvement over the Solex carb fitted on those models. No one, including Solex and MB, ever got that carb to work well. As noted, white smoke is coolant, and you can smell it. Typically it's most obvious when first started and it will really show up on cold days. Pale grey stinky smoke along with low power and a funny subdued engine sound is transmission fluid, although if you have a vacuum pump it's fairly unlikely you have a vacuum modulator connected directly to the intake, but check. If there is transmission fluid in the vacuum line from the modulator, you must replace the modulator as soon as possible -- transmission fluid in the combustion chambers is bad mojo (think stuck rings and badly chewed cylinder walls). If you have a leaking modulator, you don't have leaking valve stem seals. Those cause blue smoke on startup from oil leaking down into the cylinders when the engine is off, and excessive oil consumption. You can also get some blue smoke on deceleration, but never enough to see from the driver's seat. No white smoke from valve guide seals. Sunroof desperately needs lubrication. Don't use ANYTHING but the official MB paste, it's the only thing that actually works and doesn't cause the accumulation of crud. If someone used grease, clean it all off and use the proper MB stuff, it's a soft wax. Works perfectly. Have fun!

Re: [MBZ] Hazet tool?
I'll bet you could plug in the number visible in the picture at Sam Stag's website, and learn the purpose. My guess is adjusting valves on gasser engines from the sixties or seventies. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '95 E300 '87 300TD Hendrik Fay heni...@ozemail.com.au wrote: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/120998070236?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%3A80%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_trksid%3Dp3907.m570.l1313%26_nkw%3D120998070236%26_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_fvi%3D1_rdc=1 What is for?

Hazet tool 327: HAZET Overhead Valve Adjust Tool for Mercedes. For valve adjustment on old Mercedes Benz 6 cylinder from 1950-1965. It is a special 14mm crowfoot wrench with sliding T-handle, and a long flat blade screwdriver.

Re: [MBZ] Phoenix heat
.One thing I question is how much thermal capacity the material will have. Baking in the scorching Phoenix sun all day while sitting in a parking lot and then having to supply high discharge rates to satisfy some lead foot could certainly exceed the thermal capacity of the material This statement certainly doesn't apply to any Prius drivers since they are all members of the Anti Destination Society and never depress their little go pedals more than 1/4 inch so as to operate electrically at all times without regard for the poor buggers behind them trying to make the light.
