Re: [MBZ] 300CD for sale in... New Jersey
You mean other than the abuse this group is known for? ;) I'd add pictures and language to show the condition of the coupe specific parts (door seals in particular) which are expensive or impossible to find. I'd add the MB paint code and German or MB name for the color, if indeed the official name is not "purple". A picture of the battery tray sans battery, and then the same area sans battery tray would be nice. Pictures of the undersides of the doors (inside bottom edge) are also nice.

Re: [MBZ] This might be a decent buy
THe M180 and M130 are durable and relatively easy to service. On the 220Sb, M180, even though the oil filter came off the bottom of the engine, and was made to drop out below, I could change the filter from the topside. There is that much accessibility. Everything on an inline engine is accessible. I think i could even reach the drain plug form above. NO V-engine is easy to service. The timing chain is easy to change with little or no special tools. Ok tell us why? I have never owned a non parts car 108 before but have always wanted one.

[MBZ] Today's Stuff - S420
Started on the 1994 S420 about 7:30 this morning, before it got nasty outside. Changed plugs. Easy on this car, very accessible. Wires are definitely original. Plugs were not, and all in good shape. Probably could have used them for another 10k-15k. Noticed that they were resistor Bosch plugs, which are unnecessary in this car, as the Beru boots have resistors in them. The replacements were non-resistor. Figured I would have a look at the distributor caps and rotors. First M119 I have worked on that the distributor cover latches weren’t broken. Amazing! Distributor cap bolts had paint marks on them and the caps and rotors were without question the originals. Pretty nasty looking inside as a matter of fact. Just so happens I had a pair of new ones ready to go, so on they went. I don’t drive the car enough to tell if it made a difference or not, but I’ll check with the boy when he gets home today. In order not to color his opinion I didn’t tell him what I did to the car. That way he will give me an unbiased opinion. He has reported that on occasion he has to do two crank cycles before the car starts. In questioning him it doesn’t seem like there’s a pattern, but when I went to move it out of the garage today it did it to me. I suspect the fuel pressure regulator might be getting sketchy. I just happen to have a new one on the shelf, so I may put that on the car tomorrow morning. Waiting to hear back from my retired MB dealer tech who makes wire sets with all the OE parts. I’ll order a new set of wires from him. Done by 10:00. Plenty of time to go inside, cool off, take a shower and run by the USPS to drop off the last of the eBay stuff I had to ship.

[MBZ] CHANGE YOUR FUSES!
So my wife wants to power her phone from a cig plug charger in the 2012 ML. There is a ciggy lighter in the front console, and the manual shows either/both a 12V socket there, but hers only has the ciggy lighter. I try to get the lighter out, push it down, nothing happens. So I pry it out, put in the charger, no juice. So I pop the hood, find the fuse box and there are only a few small fuses in there and some relays and a 50A or 2 and no chart of anything. WTF? So then I download the manual (she does not leave it in the car for some reason) and it shows there are 3 (!!!) fuse boxes scattered around the car, one in the side of the dash by the pass door and another under the back seat. I try to find the one by the door, there is none there. WTF??? So the manual says "The fuse allocation chart is located under cover" of the rear one. So I open that one up, it has some fuses in it too, but no chart. WTF The 79 TD has a nice printed chart under the fuse box cover! I had to cut a little tab on the carpet cover too to get it lifted up, so I guess no one has ever been in that fuse box. Have the Germans completely lost it? (Or maybe the Alabama assembly workers?) Neither of the boxes has a fuse chart, how the hell are you supposed to figure out what fuse might need to be changed? Good news is the fuses seem to be the newer flat things, I have a ton of those around but no idea which one to pull.

Re: [MBZ] CHANGE YOUR FUSES!
That’s nothing. My 2003 S430 (W220) has four fuse boxes. And some electrical items have “electronic fuses” as MB calls them. It’s a fancy name for saying that they’re using an SCR to control a circuit, and it limits current if it sees a ground or short circuit. Makes troubleshooting tough sometimes, too. I had a side marker light out. I test the bulb with a meter. Open circuit. For grins I checked the socket for power with the light switch on. Nothing. Further studying revealed that if there’s no load, the “electronic fuse” won’t pass power to the circuit. Put a new 5W bulb in and it worked.

I found some pdfs of the charts for the 4(!!!) fuse boxes that some MB tech posted, including a vid that shows where the pass side panel is (not where the manual says it is).

Re: [MBZ] CHANGE YOUR FUSES!
I felt much the same way, although I put my concerns aside in a compromise for the deal I got on the car. That being said, I have to say that if you have the DAS software and multiplexer, troubleshooting and fault diagnosis is amazingly simple on these cars. You pretty much plug the computer in, run the diagnostics, and it tells you what’s wrong (or not) and allows you to reset any fault codes. The DAS software even gives you the links to the repair procedures and suggests possible problems based on the fault. It also gives you the ability to alter operating parameters as well. I made some simple changes on my car so it thinks it was delivered to a hot part of the world. As a result of the changes, my engine runs a bit cooler and my AC is a lot more efficient. If you don’t have the DAS, you’re pretty much left to guess at the problem.

Re: [MBZ] CHANGE YOUR FUSES!
we will never get the quality of cars that used to be made. Now it is all plastic and wires. Beyond the ability of the standard user to diagnose or repair, unless you are Penoff. Priapis driving neighbor thinks that his plastic car will last a long time. All that plastic will be able to get 3D printed so parts will never go out of style. clay On Aug 22, 2015, at 10:29 AM, Curly McLain via Mercedes wrote: >> That's nothing.

Re: [MBZ] CHANGE YOUR FUSES!
There are different parameters for the aux fan turn on temperature, for example, as well as changes to the interior blower fan speed, too. For the later models like my W220 Mercedes has profiles set up in the software for various applications. In this case there are profiles for the climate control system that determine how it works relative to the climate. That is, there is a profile for “hot” climates, “normal” climates and “cold” climates. I’ve been told these are comparable to the Middle East, most of the world, and higher latitude locations. It affected everything from engine operating temperatures to blower speeds and aux fan settings, among other things. As for the cost of the DAS, it depends. You can do what I did and just buy the multiplexer, cables and software on an external hard drive (around $300) or go full bore and get it installed on an IBM T30 (?) laptop, which runs in the $500 range. I had an old HP laptop I wasn’t using for anything, so I have it running on it and nothing else. It also includes the WIS, EPC and technical data, all of which can be referenced from the DAS system. What is nice is that with the setup I have it works with everything from the early 1990s systems using the 38 pin diagnostic connector all the way up to around 2010 models. You can get pretty deep into the cars with this, even with the older basic pre-ODBII proprietary system that is on the W140 and R129 chassis and others. For example, I know a guy in my W140 forum on BenzWorld that uses it to get transmission pressures. By checking the pressures that the clutches engage at you can get a good idea of the internal condition of the transmission. I don’t use it that often, but it’s an invaluable tool to have, even with the older cars.

Re: [MBZ] CHANGE YOUR FUSES!
So I found the fuse chart in a paper that was folded up and tucked in the fuse box, it has the map for all the boxes in Deutsche, Anglis, and some other language. Found the ciggy lighter fuse, and of course there are no spare fuses and no fuse puller thingie. Had a 15A fuse in my toolbox so popped the old one out, it was fried, popped the new one in, now there is juice to the ciggy lighter phone charger thingie. Mama will be happy now. Unclear why she did not mention it to the dealer when she took the vehicle in for the A or B service or whatever it was on Friday week ago. Sigh. The ones in the car are marked "S" as in 15S, is S the German for A? Did they have their own guy named Schultz or something who discovered current flow, and this is some sort of snub to M. Ampere? (Hey, Dieter, throw me a 15 Schultz fuse in there willya?) I should probably go buy a coupla boxes of fuses and a little puller thingie to put in there so next time it blows I can tell her how to CHANGE YOUR FUSES! BTW the service consisted mostly of a 10k mile checkup and filters (engine and cabin) change, maybe oil too I forgot to notice, which according to the dealer guy would have been like $900 but it was covered under the CPO or warranty we got or something. Another one is included, so after another 20k miles I guess I am going to have to do all that stuff (and buy myself a good bottle or 3 of whisky). She was ragging about why it is so expensive to do that stuff. I tried to explain but I was having a hard time convincing myself. Will the DAS system cover this 2012 ML? Or is there something else like it? I should look into that if I am going to have to maintain this thing myself. I'm wondering too if the main computer in the thing talks to all that stuff and there might be some kind of special codes to get into it? That would make some kind of sense, at least some Merkin sense. --R ___ 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

Re: [MBZ] ?
I thought intonation was built into the instrument, much like a piano. It is. All wind instruments are imperfect, the question is which set of compromises will be most palatable to the user base. Supposedly, in 1955 Buffet changed to bore to a more complex form, rather than pretty much the pure cylinder that it had been since 1630. This made for more even intonation, requiring less work by the player to wrestle the thing into place, but possibly made it sound not quite so good. I think we're talking about issues that only a pretty good player could notice. Regardless, the marketplace has spoken, and resale value on these is higher than the slightly older ones. -- Jim ___ 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
