Re: [MBZ] mono-valve source

2015-04-17 Thread Jon Agne
I went through 3 chinese junk monovalves when I first got my 300D.  Rusty 
finally sent me a real MB part, and it’s worked perfectly for the past 3 years. 
 I also went through 2 chinese (junk) aux pumps at the same time.  The motor 
tends to separate from the pump spraying coolant all over your engine 
compartment.

Buy original MB parts.

The MTC I ended up with didn't fit either.  I removed the
circlip from the ends of both and transferred the rubber/screen
part from the MTC to the bad one that came out of the
car.  It then fit, and so far seems to be working.

The MTC _looked_ identical to what came out of the car,
but obviously the QC on the dimensioning was not so good.

Why is this message in Spam? It has a from address in yahoo.com (or

With all the CNC machining capacity, it seems to me that someone,
somewhere, should be able to remake the valve to take O rings with a new
design and sell replacement parts that actually work.

This problem is a matter of when will it happen, not if it will
happen.. known design weak point. Surely, it would be worth writing a CNC
machining program to make a better part from a block of something

Re: [MBZ] mono-valve source

2015-04-17 Thread Jaime Kopchinski
I think the issue with the MTC (Chinese) parts are the rubber quality.
Coolant gets past the sealing and into the moving parts of the valve.  This
causes the valve to get somewhat hydrolocked and not pulse open and closed
properly, resulting it too much or too little heat.

The failure of an original part was a tear in the rubber at its thinnest
section, resulting in the same.

Unfortunately, that statement is applicable to ALL rubber parts made in China, 
not just mono-valve inserts. Parts (and tools) manufactured in Taiwan are of a 
much higher quality than those coming from mainland China.

Re: [MBZ] mono-valve source

2015-04-17 Thread G Mann
With all the CNC machining capacity, it seems to me that someone,
somewhere, should be able to remake the valve to take O rings with a new
design and sell replacement parts that actually work.

This problem is a matter of when will it happen, not if it will
happen.. known design weak point. Surely, it would be worth writing a CNC
machining program to make a better part from a block of something
invincible.

 Coolant gets past the sealing and into the moving parts of the valve.  This
 causes the valve to get somewhat hydrolocked and not pulse open and closed
 properly, resulting it too much or too little heat.

 The failure of an original part was a tear in the rubber at its thinnest
 section, resulting in the same.

  The MTC I ended up with didn't fit either.  I removed the
  circlip from the ends of both and transferred the rubber/screen
  part from the MTC to the bad one that came out of the
  car.  It then fit, and so far seems to be working.
 
  The MTC _looked_ identical to what came out of the car,
  but obviously the QC on the dimensioning was not so good.
