Yes.  But the real difference is the turbo.  By making use of
the exhaust heat to spin the turbine which force more air into
the engine, the efficiency increases.  That is, there is less
waste heat, so more of the energy in the fuel goes to turning
the flywheel and less goes out the tail pipe.

Therefore, a turbo-supercharged engine can generate more power
_and_ use less fuel.

Re: [MBZ] OT Range hood again

[Rich Thomas]

For the lights you could use a light dimmer/switch (there are rotary and 
slide), there are similar things for fans (Rockler sells router speed 
thingies, a standard ceiling fan switch might work?).  Some slight mods 
on the thing might be necessary but those are cheap enough.  Or just a 
coupla flip or rocker switches and leave them run full bore.


If you wanted to hack a bit, you could get an Arduino with an AC relay 
shield, you could bodge something up for less than $50.

A new back after spending 2 hours hunched over a snowmobile engine that didn't 
have spark. Today is the first time I can say I've ever gotten anywhere toward 
fixing a breaker point ignition. I *think* its fixed although one side still 
seems ever so slightly wonky. I won't know for sure until tomorrow, I still

[MBZ] Vacuum pump diaphragm removal.

[dseretakis]

So planning ahead on my timing chain replacement, I'm wondering what is 
involved removing the vacuum pump. The shop manual (BBB) states that removing 
the pump is necessary to replace the lower two slide rails but I can't find the 
procedure for its removal in the manual. Also, these rails are down low so will 
I be able to view their condition? Any ideas?
How about removing the pump?

Bypass the board, go with a simple on/off switch for the lights at full power.

Any way you can get a schematic for it, even if it doesn't cover the circuit

That would go a long way to determine whether or not it's replaceable with 
something analog.

Re: [MBZ] Timing chain tools

[Curt Raymond]

I'll see if the '78 240D can make it. 

On the theory that it couldn't hurt anything I bought some of the Lucas magic 
oil additive and gave it maybe half a pint. The stuff is clearly just a 
viscosity improver, at freezing it comes out like extra thick honey, I only put 
in a half pint because I got bored waiting for it to come out of the bottle.
Engine does seem a little quieter and I'll be dammed but I think theres just a 
hint more power. I'll take whatever I can get.

I put a little in my Cub Cadet tractor too, that engine is getting pretty 
tired. I've got plans for a diesel swap into that but the money is not 
forthcoming.

[MBZ] OT Range hood again

[Randy Bennell]

The one thing I forgot to mention was that I would not mind getting rid 
of the control board altogether.
However that would then mean I need to have some other means of varying 
the fan speed as we do use all 3 ranges on that function.


Is this likely the sort of motor that would permit variation on a 
rheostat of some sort?

[MBZ] OT - another electrical question

[Randy Bennell]

Anyone have any good advice in regard to range hoods?

We have a Broan unit. Maybe 5 to 10 years old.

I cannot recall the model but it is the curved one rather than the old 
boxy one and it has 2 small halogen flood light type bulbs and a panel 
on the face with push buttons for 3 levels of fan speed and 3 levels of 
light.


Unfortunately, it would appear that the electronic board has suffered a 
failure. There was a flash like someone was taking a photo and now the 
lights will not work.

The fan still works fine on all 3 speeds.

We had an issue once before about 2 years ago when a bulb burned out and 
I was putting a new one it. It went dead but that time it was a fuse 
which was readily replaced once we took off enough part to get to the 
board itself. I assumed I had done something while putting in the new 
bulb but maybe not.


The gist of all this is that the replacement board is going to cost 
about $200 and the whole hood only cost something like $300.


So, I have some  choices.

I can replace the whole thing but that is a bit of a pain because it is 
ducted outside and I will have to get the thing out and the new one in. 
If so, I may swap to a Bosch. A bit more expensive but it looks to be 
simpler.


I can replace the board and hope they have improved it. The new one has 
a different # so I assume this may not be an isolated incident. Warranty 
of course is long over.


3rd choice - and this one appeals to me as a frugal sort - is to find a 
way to make the lights work without their board. Should basically be 
doable as the board just facilitates the 3 light levels. I could readily 
hook them up full power as I doubt we use the dimmed functions much 
anyway - or I could put in a dimmer switch that would provide variable 
light. The bigger issue with that is where to mount the dimmer etc. 
SWMBO is not impressed with my frugal idea and is concerned that I may 
make some Rube Goldberg contraption I guess.


So, I solicit your thoughts on the matter.

Randy who is going to have to make a decision shortly to keep you know 
who happy

Yes, that answer is wrong, not only for me, but for the person that posed
the question on the page. There is one LED that indicates the batteries
need to be replaced. When that one lights, replace the batteries. When
all six light, the problem is something different.

Now that seems to have some good information.

If more than a few years old, electronics may have died.  Most UPS seem to die 
quickly once out of warranty.  We only replace batteries when the UPS had never 
been in service but simply sat on the shelf until the batteries got stale.

Or you can just go to the listmom or fleabay or the car-part.com and 
buy a used oil cooler.  That way someone else had to take the big 
oil line nuts off.


 I did this - bought a used one - when I was trying to do the 
fix on my 83 300SD.  Although it wasn't pitted as badly, the used one 
leaked oil at the lower fitting like the original.  Eventually I gave 
up and just slathered the threads on the original with JB Weld.  That 
has been working for about 15 years.  My plan is if/when I have to 
replace the oil cooler hoses again and I can't get the lower hose off 
I will do the JB Weld trick once more with the spare cooler I now have.
