Re: [MBZ] AC Question W124 91 300D re Evap Repl.

Reading the manual for the SD I find that changing the system to max cool and 
high fan will cut out fresh air to the cabin.  Normal mix seems to be 60/40

WOW!  Almost new retail pricing for the thing.  Given how perfect it is, I 
think the price is spot on.  The lack of use, or complete rebuild would tend to 
support the mileage

[MBZ] I Dun Seed the Lite

[clay via Mercedes]

Being both a lazy and obstinate fellow, I just now got the dash lights to work 
in Allen.

I got her in Feb of ’17 and hardly drove at night, but by April I was out past 
or near dark, and could never get the dash to light up.

I messed around with pulling the cluster and trying to make electrons go to 
bulbs and screwing about with the rheostat a few times.  I really wanted the 
thing to work the way it came from the factory.  Last time I pulled it was when 
I had installed the aftermarket radio and got tired of replacing fuse 13.  
Polei has LED cluster lights, I am not impressed, so would not do that with  
Allen.  I did all manner of tests for continuity and if the bulbs even work.  
Or if the bread board was ok.  It all came back as good, but for the dang 
rheostat.  I decided summer was coming and I would not be out past dark anyway.

Today, I got the itch and was either going to end up jumpering the rheostat or 
installing a chinee purple LED for dash light.  I went with jumper, so as to be 
forced to use the LED as last resort.  Tossing on the bit of wire around the 
posts was simple.  I put it back together, put fuses 12 and 13 back, and fired 
it up.  Radio and clock worked, so no big screw ups.  Just needed to wait until 
dark to see if the very dim bulbs would work.  

Turns out they do.

UPS ships by rail for long hauls. ‎Shorter distances are made with several 
100-200 mile hops that go very quickly. Orders shouldn't take several days to 
process. Someone is asleep at the switch.

Sweet!

Mouser is a good place.  Usually not the best price, but a very
good selection and lots it stock.  And their main warehouse is in
TX, I think.

I don't usually get parts that fast, but I delivery time is
usually really good.  And orders placed by 8PM central time I
think ship out the same day!

No affiliation, just a been a customer for > 30 years and still
shop there.

A good part of speedy delivery, is where the parts are coming from and going 
to. If I order from FCP Euro on Sunday, my order arrives on Tuesday. Wednesday 
at the latest. If I order from AutohausAZ it's going to take 5-7 days. If I

I got the door switch I ordered from eEuroparts on the 18th on Thursday or
Friday (US Mail) and the rear brake disks today, UPS.

They just shipped the front disks and all of the pads.

It's great to have the special tool for this. There is a test harness and a 
breakout box that you hook in at the pbu and run thru a series of tests that 
will point you to the problems.

This system has the pbu, a acc relay and a blower control relay behind the 
glove box. Could also be a ignition switch going out but that usually causes it 
to not start up at all. Try giggling key slightly when it's not working.

He's got a new regulator and the other box (I forget what it's called) that's 
mounted up next to regulator, however, he doesn't want to just throw parts at 
the problem.

Are you saying the issue is with the motor itself or you just had problems with 
the system in general?

Re: [MBZ] W123 Blower Motor Issues

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

I'll take his problems away for $500.

Seriously:  I struggled with these blower motors on and off.  It's simplest
to swap it out with a good used one.  Or, I can sell him another blower
motor regulator for not much $$.

[MBZ] W123 Blower Motor Issues

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

Trying to help a buddy with ongoing issues with the blower motor in a 1985 
300TD, would appreciate any suggestions/ideas, etc.

Complaint: Since he took delivery of the car several years ago, the blower 
motor will either not start up or shut off arbitrarily without any interaction 
on the part of the driver.  He discovered that if he struck the dash with his 
hand/fist when the blower stopped it would start up again.

Both a reflowed and rebuilt PBU made no difference in the condition. The motor 
continued to operate intermittently.  Brushes were checked and found to be in 
good condition within plenty of material left.

He's now wondering if the electronics in the dash are the culprit.

I'm wondering if the porcupine could be at fault.

Ideas? Suggestions?

He is fairly competent in repair and troubleshooting, but has minimal time to 
commit to this at present due to career and family. He's trying to minimize 
time spent sorting this out.

I'm betting fuel pump relay. 
Unfortunately I forgot which two pins in the socket you need to jumper-wire to 
make the problem go away if it is the relay. 

What was funny was when my 2.3-16 started cutting out in hot weather the summer 
after I bought it, I took the plastic cover off behind the battery and found a 
length of jumper wire conveniently wrapped around the fuel pump relay, so I 
wasn't the first one it happened to. 16V relays are rare/expensive, 8v relays

Re: [MBZ] Nice E320 Wagon

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

No diesel in S210 in USA, not in S124 after 1987, and I'm not sure if the later 
S211 had a diesel option here but definitely not through the early CDI years.

To me, wagon = cargo capacity, so wagon + diesel = good, but MBUSA apparently 
doesn't agree, or wagons are so rare as to be not worth the effort of a diesel 
option (but they were worth the greater effort of converting to 4matic in 
1998?).

Might be a huge bargain.

1) Where's the rust?
2) Mileage?
3) Service records?
4) Condition of Interior?

[MBZ] Up to $7500 for a rolling slug

I have an old 10ga external hammer double-barrel over the (old) fireplace.
Paid maybe $100 for it, the guy at the shop said "Now, you're not going to
shoot this, right?"  It's pretty loose, and not rated for smokeless powder,
and the stock wood is weak.  Looks nice, though.

   One of the reviews for the light Jamie listed says,

   5 out of 5 stars Best 7" H4 eCode headlight on market.
   ByRacerXon May 17, 2014
   Verified Purchase

   Real eCode light!

   Way better than Hella H4 eCode. I swapped just one headlight for
   comparison, and put the same 60/55w bulb back in. Side-by-side with
   Cibie on left an Hella on right. The Cibie was brighter, with wider
   pattern, and sharper cut-off. Google search for "Cibie Hella Daniel
   Stern" to find spectrometer graphs for real quantitative analysis.

   Hella has more stray light above the cut-off which results in glare to
   oncoming traffic. With perfectly aimed lights, I still occasionally got
   flashed by cars coming towards me. With the Cibie, I was able to upgrade
   to 100/80w bulbs with no one ever flashing me! I would guesstimate
   there's twice as much light on the road now and much less going into
   other drivers eyes compared to before.

   UPDATE: forgot to mention that the high-beam performance is also better
   with the Cibie light compared to Hella. When both aimed for optimum
   low-beam performance, the high-beams on the Hellas went into the trees!
   Not very useful unless you're a squirrel! The Cibie high-beam was tight
   and focused and stayed on the road 1km away!

That doesn't sound right.  On both my '87 and my '95, the Recirc button
works in Auto, Economy.  The system will draw in outside air at all times
unless the Recirc button is pushed, and then it has a timer so after 45
minutes or so it starts drawing outside air again.

Re: [MBZ] AC Question W124 91 300D re Evap Repl.

[Larry Turner via Mercedes]

Yep, my 124 has a Recirc Button, the only way to introduce outside air 
to to push the far right button which turns off the AC and turns the 
Outside Air On.  Then it's temp is controlled with the Temp roller.
I know some have criticized the ACC but I have followed the OM advice 
and left it in the Auto Position so the ACC controls the on/off of 
everything and everything gets exercised.


I had the 134a topped off and it's blowing cold again.  I repaired it in 
2014 so if I continue to get ~3 years or so out of a fill I'll be happy.

I used the Hella sealed beam conversions from Amazon on my 1982 300D and was 
really pleased with them.

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002M9QJM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8=1

They were $30/each and included the stock 55W lamp.  Each took all of maybe 10 
minutes to swap out.  The beam pattern was much better.

Do you like the styling of Euro lamps and are you willing to pay for them?
If so, Hella are OEM and somewhat expensive, TYC are Asian and said to be 
pretty good. 

Do you like the current styling?
If so, all you need are a pair of 7" E-code lamps, here's one example:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002M9QJM

You can also upgrade the fog lamps, I think they're 5 3/4".

As for LED, some have decent beam patterns, most do not, anything price 
competitive with the Hellas I linked above is pretty much guaranteed to be 
horrible. Don't buy LEDs without a specific product recommendation from 
somebody who knows what he's talking about (not me).
LED bulbs in lamps designed for normal bulbs won't work, it has to be designed 
as a LED lamp assembly and it has to be done right.

Ralph,

These are the ones to get:
https://www.amazon.com/Cibie-082440-82440-Light-Unit/dp/B008DQV88Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8=1500896853=8-1=cibie+082440

They look very much like the original lights, fit the car without
modification, plug directly into the factory wiring harness, and use
standard H4 bulbs.  Oh, and they're really outstanding lights.

Installing them is as easy as changing a sealed beam.  But you should
adjust the light alignment after installation to ensure proper aiming.

Good luck,
Jaime
