Re: [MBZ] Automatic-full-opening Windows

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

Both, that is a feature.  Special switch plus circuitry.  Sounds like the other 
switch that doesn't activate this feature is a replacement or needs a good 
cleaning.

[MBZ] Automatic-full-opening Windows

[Craig via Mercedes]

I mentioned earlier that when I received the 1990 300D/2.5 Turbo,
momentarily pressing hard on the front passenger's window switch would
open that window all the way.

I tried an experiment and reversed the switches side-to-side.

Now the driver's window is the one that automatically opens all the way.

So the function goes with the switch. I don't know why -- I haven't looked
into what causes the function -- but I'm curious whether it's something
in the switch itself or some ancillary circuitry in the rest of the car.

[MBZ] Stupid e300 exhaust

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

So I have spent a good 3 hours trying to jack around with this exhaust to get 
it to hang right. Basically the part that comes past the differential area 
needs to hand down lower so I tried putting a bar across there to hold it while 
jacking the rear section up to basically try to bend it in the middle. I 
managed to get it good enough to clear from hitting the bolt heads of the axle 
shaft but it's still hitting the bottom of the car further up right below the 
transmission tunnel area. So while inside the car you can feel it for sure. I 
guess I'm going to have to make die for now and will probably try and weld up 
the original one and put it back in the car. What a pain in the neck.

Yup - both the severe storms prediction center and the severe storms lab

Re: [MBZ] What Idiot...

[MG via Mercedes]

The AC is a circuit. When you pull a vacuum on the low side it 
also pulls that same vacuum on the high side. It's all connected.
If it holds vacuum for a few hours then you add the right amount 
of whatever freon or cooling agent you want. The right amount 
depends on what you are using.

As for the AC, I was trying to at least pull a vacuum and see if it would hold. My paws are just too huge to get access to the high side port under all the hoses and hot engine. There was no way to screw on the manifold hose. I had low side, but an hour of poking around just could not line up the hose. Are the cars just meant to have a single charge? I could have tried a vacuum on the low side, and then just charge without knowing if the high would hold.

It's at least partly the farmer's fault, if you hit the brakes when you see the 
car approaching you'll be stopped long before you drive over the car. 
The MBZ driver must have had a nice view of the bottom of tractor before the 
windshield broke.
