Re: [MBZ] Compressor seized
I took the compressor off the car and repeatedly filled it with mineral spirits, operated the pulley manually, and turned it over several times to make sure the solvent was distributed well. That's what I did on my wife's 560SL when I un-R134a'd it.

Re: [MBZ] Compressor seized
Thanks, Alex. Might as well resign myself to removing the pump in order to flush it next time. Gerry Gerry Archer" wrote: Also, when cleaning the system that way, do you flush the pump as well, It's always been my impression that that was a critical step. and if so, how do you get all the solvent out of the pump without removing it from the car? I don't know how you would, unless the hose arrangement in the particular car you're working on was such that you could remove all attachments in situ from the compressor and attach a flushing system in a fluid-tight way. Certainly in a 124, for example, there's no way that's going to work. When I replaced a leaky manifold in the '87 and refilled it two summers ago, I took the compressor off the car and repeatedly filled it with mineral spirits, operated the pulley manually, and turned it over several times to make sure the solvent was distributed well. Then gave it a final flush with acetone the same way.

[MBZ] Lubing Sunroof
I believe I need to lubricate my sunroof. This is on my old 240 D. I have the super secret sunroof goo that I bought from Rusty back in the day. When it's warm outdoors, it opens and closes easily (it's electric by the way). When it's cool out, it's hard to open and closeit has to be assisted with the free hand. So I'm going to lube it. Where do I apply the goo or any other lube?

Re: [MBZ] Keys.
Is it not pretty easy to get something notarized in the USA? I assume they just want someone to certify that a copy of the registration is a true copy. If you go to the dealer they will ask to see the registration but if you don't actually go there, then they may want you to send along something that indicates you are the actual owner and not just someone who wants a key so they can "borrow" a nice car they see parked on a lot somewhere. I picked up keys from the dealer here and the parts man said to me - "you aren't separated or divorced are you?" The car is registered to my wife. He let me take the keys but probably thought it was not much of a risk since my car is so old. I can see where they might be a bit more careful with newer and more valuable vehicles.

Re: [MBZ] Keys.
Notarization's always been very easy for me; it's merely a certification that I'm who I say I am. In this case, does this face go with this signature and this registration? It's always been true for me, so it's very easy. Now, If I were not who I say I am, it'd be much more difficult, and, of course, that's the reason for it. ;<) Wilton - Original Message - From: "Randy Bennell" To: "Mercedes Discussion List" Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2013 5:36 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Keys.

Re: [MBZ] OT: PC Computer hardware questiion
Yeah, but MacBooks get HOT before the fans kick on, and I firmly believe the stress on the solder is a leading cause of failures (this is true of PC laptops and even cards using the same video chips). Chip temps get up to 100C before you know it, and hotter yet in heavy use. The cure is the best thermal paste you can find and using a utility to keep them from heating up so much, seems to keep them running much longer. If you can stand actually hearing the fans run, which doesn't bother me at all, they probably won't fail again. Leave the fans idling along as the chip approaches solder melting temps, you are asking for trouble.

Mineral spirits will not dissolve the R134a oils, so you won't remove them. A 1:1 mix of isopropanol and dry hexane works much better.

[MBZ] Somebody needs this Jeep!
Here's the deal, kids: This is a Jeep Cherokee. This is not a luxury SUV, or a maintenance-free disposable import. It has solid front axles, wind noise, and character. It's a Jeep. It rides like a Jeep. It drives like a Jeep. All of these are GOOD things. It is not new, it is not pristine, it is used. This will be apparent in the pictures. If you do not own a toolbox, have never changed your own oil, and are scared of firearms: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If you have been posting on facebook all about how excited you are for pumpkin latte season: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If you get offended easy and often, whine to your co-workers, and bitch a lot: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If you feel you are owed anything in the world & have a bullshit job where you fail to produce: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If you own a bieber album, white oakleys, affliction t-shirts, or those candy-assed stitched-pocket jeans: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If you consider the 2nd Amendment an anachronistic relic and have never owned a firearm: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If, however, you have BALLS OF STEEL and consider adverse weather an excuse to do stupid shit: THIS IS YOUR JEEP. Do you laugh at danger, and tempt fate? Have you ever uttered the words, "Hold my beer and watch this ..."? While bored at work do you pick targets at random and think, "I could hit that from here with the .22 ..."? Have any of your friends quit hanging out because you were too much fun? Do you have the number of a friend with cash memorized for bail? When you pass an abandoned flatbed farm truck along a fenceline do you consider taking on another project? Is your ol' lady really sick of the random piles of parts, greasy footprints, and empty beer bottles in the garage? -could you not care less? Do you have Jalopnik saved on your laptop AND smartphone? Do you own a service manual for every vehicle you ever owned? Do you still miss your first ride? Can you carry on a two hour conversation discussing tools, scars, and hi-lift jacks? Remember when tool companies had the balls to put half-naked beauty queens on their calendars? Do you consider the Prius an abominable affront to the Gods of displacement, torque, and All Mighty Internal Combustion? If you answered in the affirmative to the preceding: THIS IS YOUR JEEP. http://enid.craigslist.org/cto/4119280944.html%3C/div%3E ___ http://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
