[MBZ] A/C air filter, 126 model
Is there an air conditioner, air (dust) filter, for the '87 300SDL, A/C system? I have some type of sponge particles coming out of the dash air vent, but I cannot find where a filter might be a part of this vehicle's A/C. system.

Re: [MBZ] A/C air filter, 126 model
It is. The black sealing foam covers the doors used to direct air flow, and over time it deteriorates to the point where it just falls off and into the airstream.

Re: [MBZ] OT - video of accident from dash cam
I agree to some extent. It appears to me that the driver actually moved to the left a bit and it might have been better to go to the right. However, there is always a reaction time and at 60 or 70 mph there is not a whole lot of time to decide. I think the camera makes it a bit deceptive. We watch it several times and we then know what is coming and think I would have done better than that but the bottom line is that when one is surprised one has to decide and then do something very quickly. I suppose moving toward the left lane makes sense when something is moving into your lane from the right. It is true that we can see the truck coming to the road for some distance but we expect the truck to stop. If you count the time from when you know the truck does not stop until the time that the impact occurs, it is about 2 seconds. At 60 mph that is 88 feet per second and therefore only about 175 feet. The truck approaching the road with the trailer is not going all that fast. He looks like he will stop but he does not. It is fortunate that the impact is essentially on the side of the box and not on the driver's door of the truck that got hit.

You were making it sound like the replacement of the activated charcoal filter in the W140. The requires removal of the cowl and wiper along with a vacuum source to deflate/compress the seal.

It appears to me that the driver actually moved to the left a bit and it might have been better to go to the right. However, there is always a reaction time and at 60 or 70 mph there is not a whole lot of time to decide. I think the camera makes it a bit deceptive. We watch it several times and we then know what is coming and think I would have done better than that but the bottom line is that when one is surprised one has to decide and then do something very quickly. I suppose moving toward the left lane makes sense when something is moving into your lane from the right. It is true that we can see the truck coming to the road for some distance but we expect the truck to stop. If you count the time from when you know the truck does not stop until the time that the impact occurs, it is about 2 seconds. At 60 mph that is 88 feet per second and therefore only about 175 feet. The truck approaching the road with the trailer is not going all that fast. He looks like he will stop but he does not. It is fortunate that the impact is essentially on the side of the box and not on the driver's door of the truck that got hit. Also, maybe a good thing that the vehicle that hit him was a full sized pickup and not a small car. Did you notice the generator being thrown out of the box over the side of the truck?

Re: [MBZ] OT - video of accident from dash cam
Well, you should be wary and looking for escape routes etc but this fellow said he was on his way home from Winnipeg so he had been on the highway at 60 mph or more for at couple of hours. That sort of thing lulls you into a false sense of security. Around town, we should be looking back and forth like an owl at intersections and should have our foot off the gas and shielding the brake but most of the time we don't quite do that. If we braked everytime we saw a possible threat, we would be run down from behind.

Re: [MBZ] OT - video of accident from dash cam
And NEVER go where you cannot see. I recall entering an intersection to cross and there was a van to my left waiting to make a left turn. I stepped on the brake and slowed right down as I could not see through the van. Then a big Lincoln blew through the intersection. Not sure where he came from. Maybe he ran the red or else he was making a left from the other direction, but if I had gone out past the van I would have either hit him or have been hit by him. That must have been 30 years ago but it is something I have never forgotten. Randy On 07/03/2014 1:35 PM, Andrew Strasfogel wrote: I agree- never rely on the other driver's turn signal indicators.

Re: [MBZ] OT - video of accident whilst sexting
I think you'll find that research indicates that talking and listening whilst driving does increase the chance of an accident. The brain is a computer and it has limited resources, once some of those resources are diverted to something else, less is available for the primary task. It could be argued that Woman do better at multi tasking and therefore should be better when it comes to driving and talking. I don't use the phone when I am driving, mainly because it is an expensive fine if busted and I also feel that I do get distracted when I am on the phone. I can feel my brain instantly switching off the task of driving as soon as the phone rings. As a test you can talk on the phone and then reply to an email, how does that work for you? Or try to reverse parallel park while composing a text message, according to your proposition that driving and talking on the phone is easy, this should be easy for you. Or even watch a TV show and natter on the phone, how much of that TV show do you recall? Basically you are asking your brain to do two different things at the same time and some may be able to do this quite well but most can't. Sure driving a vehicle is not the same as composing an email but the problem arise if the routine is broken by unexpected events. Basically the brain is on auto pilot and diverting processing power to the phone call, so even though you see the ball roll out from behind the parked car, it takes longer for the brain to process that information and provide a warning that a child may be running after that ball. So yes I agree that driving and talking on the phone is not hard but the hard thing is to respond to extraordinary circumstances and yes some get that far caught up in the conversation that they even miss the basic things like traffic lights and stop signs. Obviously drivers with lots of experience would do better than some spotty faced teenager with little driving experience but everyone tunes out to a certain extend. Also with today's technology of message banks and call diversion and such, there is no need to instantly pick up the phone. Is the call so important you are willing to risk your or others lives? http://unews.utah.edu/old/p/062206-1.html Actually I did my multi combination truck test a while back and whilst I could have a chat with the driving instructor/tester most times, there where a couple of times I had to use all my brain power to accomplish the task at hand.

Re: [MBZ] OT - video of accident whilst sexting
There is a phrase in aviation: aviate, navigate, communicate. It means that this is the order of importance: 1) Aviate - fly the aircraft (driving - drive the car) 2) Navigate - know where you are and where you are going (driving - same thing) 3) Communicate - talk to the controller and weather people (driving - talking at all) You only do the #3 when you are not being challenged by #'s 1 2. There is also the concept of the sterile cockpit at critical times (landing) that forbids none task related communication among crew members and passengers (in small craft). I can relate this to having to tell the kids to shut up when I was negotiating unknown highway interchanges at 70 mph (113 KMH for Hendrik) in rush hour. While you are moving in three dimensions, the weather is more of a challenge, and you are generally faster in an aircraft than a car, the car is closer to the ground and other hard objects most of the time.

[MBZ] 34 Hour week?
Some Porsche employees have got quite used to working just 34 hours a week for the same wage as a standard 40-hour week. Their boss Uwe Hück, referred to in certain circles as the German Chuck Norris, thinks a more relaxed working schedule could be introduced for most of the country's workforce - if not for the whole of Europe. “Productivity in Germany is extremely high,” he told the taz newspaper on Wednesday. “This is good but we do need to give people a break. We need working hours more suited to the intensity of output.” Hück, a hard-working Christian who never takes time off and claims to pray twice a day, joined Porsche in 1985 as a car painter and inched his way up the ranks to become one of the company's most important employees. Growing up in a children's home after losing his parents, he is hazy about his exact birthday but gives it as May 22nd 1962. Despite his rocky start, he flourished at his school in Stuttgart. He was even moved up two years early before graduating and going to learn how to paint cars. Around this time he took up Thai boxing, discovered he had talent and went on to win the European championships twice. The sport remains a big part of his life today. If the married father-of-three does need a break, he takes a day off to spend in his training room. “I couldn't relax on holiday,” he told the taz. Several years after starting work at Porsche he became involved in its union and in 2003 he became head of the committee for factory staff. A member of the centre-left Social Democrat Party (SPD), he is a vocal advocate of workers' rights. “When I have the feeling that something is unfair, I can go from a rose to force of nature in a few seconds,” he said. Hück is a big supporter of disadvantaged children, having experienced childhood hardship. “A child cannot do anything about their parents dying, being ill or poor,” he said. The 51-year-old, who has two adopted children, has made no secret of his desire to get into politics, with his dream post being education minister. http://www.thelocal.de/20140306/germans-work-hard-lets-give-them-a-break ___ 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
