There is no issue with the electronic ip or transmission, it is quite reliable in my opinion. Until one or the other breaks, then you are looking at thousands to fix, probably at a stealer. That is a good reason why they are cheap. not worth repairing.

Phone alerts woke me up 12:30 - 1, we had huge rains and tstorms all evening but was quiet when the warnings were going off. Radar showed the tstorm a coupla miles to the east so I went back to sleep. Woke up to some FB reports from friends about the damage. 10 houses destroyed, lots of trees down about 8 miles away. Did not know anyone but friends did.

Re: [MBZ] Fwd: ALERT: VW accused of using software in 482, 000 diesels to skirt U.S. clean-air rules
I was wondering if they had stopped the sale of the TDIs at this point. It had occurred to me that if not they were probably going to be dumping hem for bargain basement prices. I work with a guy who has a 3 or 4 year old TDI, not sure if it’s a Jetta or Passat (I think it’s a Passat). (In my opinion) he’s a cheapskate/scrounge who has been talking about all the money he’s going to get out of VW when they settle the class action suits being brought by owners. He’s also the kind of person who expects any vendor who calls on us to buy him lunch. Total douche.

The only issue with the later 722 “electronic” transmissions is the plate failure thing. It’s an easy and inexpensive enough repair if it hasn’t already been done. There are some really easy updates you can do to them by changing valve body springs, too. There’s a guy on the W140 forum at BW that is a DIY transmission expert.

That they are trouble and expensive to maintain unlike the MB diesels of old. Of course, it may be nothing more than the fact that diesel is often more expensive than gasoline and thus much of the appeal has gone.

Randy, For what it's worth, we looked at the EPC using the gasket number and the "where used" function (you don't get this feature in the home version, sorry!).

Re: [MBZ] Windshields and Randy's IP Actuator
Thanks Dan. One would think that with the number of these old MB diesels still running around, all over the world, those might still be in enough demand to have them produced - especially since they are no doubt very similar to the one for the 123.

Re: [MBZ] OT macophiles -- HDD replacement and SSD add
250GB should be more than adequate for a Mac OS install. You might even get away with having your Home folder on it if you don't have a huge amount of data. I'll dig up the links for the procedure for moving your Home folder and post them this evening or weekend. BTW, OWC just opened one of their "garage sales" this morning.

Re: [MBZ] OT: how does a live MK-82 end up in a scrap yard?
Tucson is within range of the Goldwater Bombing Range, which is used for training flights out of Luke AFB and Davis Monthan National Guard units. Goldwater Bombing Range is a restricted military area, but it covers thousands of square miles of raw desert, nearly impossible to patrol. The economy is in a tailspin.. has been since 2008, Scrappers are collecting anything not tied down, and many things that are... for example.. some 800 homes in foreclosure [bank owned] had their air conditioning units stolen for the scrap value, and several of them had holes chopped through their back walls for entry. Once in, the scrap thieves broke all the interior walls to steal the copper wiring.. all of it.. Thus.. I suggest.. someone made a scrap run into Goldwater Range, picked up target vehicles for scrap and found an unexploded Mark 82 laying on the range.. sold it for scrap.. The scrap yard unloaded the truck with a crane magnet.. put it in a pile.. the workers job would be to cut the scrap into scrap furnace sizes.. torch work... and cut into the Mark 82.. booom.. I've seen some of these scrap monkeys in action.. they are right out of "Mad Max" movie.. truly rough characters.

Re: [MBZ] Windshields
Genuine glass is worth the money and usually not so expensive. I put a windshield in my 300CD earlier this year and it was surprisingly cheap. But then again, genuine everything is generally better!

Re: [MBZ] Windshields
I don't know about that. Considering that aftermarket glass is readily available and cheaper, I'm not sure people would place a lot of value on OE glass.

Re: [MBZ] OT: VW Golf TDI brakes
My Indy did an oil change when he did the transmission and timing belt. Fuchs I think... Speaking of the transmission, the proper vw manual transmission oil is thin like ATF, I'm getting a distinct grinding noise when I go into first if the car is moving which my '98 with the same trans doesn't do. That has Redline MTL in it. I'm thinking I'll put MTL in this car too and see if it clears up. Curt Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android From:"Peter Frederick via Mercedes" Date:Thu, Sep 24, 2015 at 10:06 PM Subject:Re: [MBZ] OT: VW Golf TDI brakes A dose of RedLine and an oil change quieted my TDI down quite a bit, and smoothed it out, too. I don't know why better oil would make the engine run that much smoother, but I noticed within a dozen miles or so. I use Mobil 1 T&D, it's readily available and most of the "rated" oils are not.
