Re: [MBZ] Finnie Fun!
There is some rust through in the very front of the rockers where they face the wheel well. Inside of the rockers is fine, jack points are good. I just need to seal up the opening to prevent future corrosion, that’s all. I’ll fog the inside of the rockers with something like bar oil or a rust preventative then cover the opening with a patch using seam sealer to seal it up good and tight. -D > On Jun 24, 2019, at 8:24 AM, Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes > wrote: > > I commend you on your tenacity for doing the heavy suspension work! > So tell me about the “minor” rust repair. > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On Jun 23, 2019, at 9:51 PM, Craig via Mercedes >> wrote: >> >> On Sun, 23 Jun 2019 21:48:05 -0400 Dan Penoff via Mercedes >> wrote: >> >>> So here’s what I have left that I can think of: >>> >>> Remove, refinish and install wood trim on left side door cards. >>> >>> Replace firewall material and rodentally masticated wiring harness >>> braid/jacket in engine compartment >>> >>> Minor rust repair at the leading edge of both rocker panels. >>> >>> And that’s it! >> >> Congratulations! >> >> You are closing in on the end; it must feel good ... >> >> >> Craig >> >> ___ >> 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 >> > > > ___ > 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 > ___ 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

[MBZ] AC success
Saturday and yesterday I finished the reseal of the compressor, installed that, vacuumed the system for 30 minutes, and then put a small amount of propane / butane blend and then pressurized up to 150 psi with CO2. Checked around with the sniffer for leaks, and noted a leak at the compressor shaft seal and small leak (still) from the evaporator. The shaft seal leaking was expected, typically they need to run-in a bit to fully seat. I had one more can of leak sealer to address the evaporator. Bled off the test charge, installed a new receiver / dryer, vacuum again for thirty minutes, then attempted to charge the system with r134. First can goes in liquid, engine off, once that is mostly into the system, right the can and then start the engine so compressor can suck in more juice. Now I've got intermittent compressor engagement. KLIMA finally decided it was done playing. I'm not sure if the relay is bad, or an input is bad. Spent some time futzing with it, no joy, so I took the bypass relay and wiring that I made up for The White Whale KLIMA and installed that into this '95 E300. Lost more time, I was too hasty and pulled out the pins from the White Whale KLIMA socket before I noted which went where (only three pins are used), so I had to search around for that info. Found it on Peach Parts. Finally got the KLIMA bypass going, and proceeded with charging the system, then installed the leak sealer. Ran the AC for another 20 plus minutes per the leak sealer instructions, and then checked again for leaks with my sniffer. No leaks detected anywhere, so I think I've finally got this one sorted. I do need to set up the transmission kick-down jumper, to restore that function. - Max Charleston SC ___ 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] AC success
Cliplight sealer? I seem to recall somebody, somewhere, saying something about running it five minutes per hour for the first few hours, recirculate the stuff and get more sealer in the vicinity of the leak. My plan was to go for a nice long drive, run it for 20 minutes, then run it five minutes on and ten minutes off for the rest of the trip, but I admit I still have never used the stuff, so all I have is theory, not results.

Re: [MBZ] Bad Diesel?
Woger (RIP) liked the V6s, but not necessarily because of the engines, I think it was the brakes that made him recommend we stay away from the pre-2007 W211s. He definitely told us to stay far away from the pre-2007 W211 CDIs. It seems like the V6 CDIs had the same balance shaft issues as the 3.5L gassers, which would steer me towards the I-6, especially since I've always like the smoothness of an I-6 and MBUSA finally decided to warranty the brakes.

Re: [MBZ] Finnie Fun!
I sand the rusted area and if I have time I thoroughly de-rust with naval jelly which takes multiple applications over a 24 hour period to really clean it up. I then paint the por-15 over the repair area making sure to get some on back surface of hole edges. While por-15 still wet I impregnate the fiberglass patch with por using a cheap chip brush and apply to the repair area. I dab it with the brush or gloved fingers to get it flat over the repair area. Once dry, I sand and reapply por-15 or another layer of por impregnated fiberglass as necessary. It creates a very solid and long lasting repair. Once all done and dry I spray the hell out of the back side of the repair with fluid film.

At https://www.weboost.com/boosters/vehicle-car, they list Users Max Gain Uplink Output Drive Reach $499.99 Multi 50 dB 29.5 dBm (0.89 W) Drive Sleek $199.99 Single 23 dB not listed Drive 4G-X$449.99 Multi 50 dB not listed Drive Reach Fleet $524.99 Multi 50 dB 29.5 dBm (0.89 W) For trucks (https://www.weboost.com/boosters/vehicle-truck) Users Max Gain Uplink Output Drive 4G-X OTR$499.99 Multi 50 dB not listed Drive Sleek OTR $279.99 Single 23 dB not listed Drive Reach $499.99 Multi 50 dB 29.5 dBm (0.89 W) Drive 4G-X$449.99 Multi 50 dB not listed They also have boosters for fixed locations, like homes and offices. The difference in all of these appears to be different antennas suited to the particular application. If you are looking to buy one, https://cellphonesignalbooster.us has a Fourth of July sale which will save you $10.00. And, finally, I found on Wilson's website: Wilson Electronics, weBoost & WilsonPro Wilson Electronics is one of the best known names in cell phone signal boosters and a pioneering force in the signal booster industry. As cell signal booster technology has progressed throughout the years, Wilson Electronics has been there to help consumers and businesses get better cell signal and faster data speeds. In 2015, Wilson Electronics renamed it's [sic] consumer brand to weBoost, and has been developing commercial and industrial level professional boosters under the name WilsonPro. The Wilson Electronics cell phone booster brand is still well known throughout the industry, especially as older boosters still bear the name, but the weBoost name is starting to gain traction. If you're looking for a Wilson Electronics signal booster, then you'll want to shop either for a weBoost consumer cell phone signal booster or a WilsonPro signal booster, or please contact us for assistance.

Re: [MBZ] AC success
ATTABOY! W -From: "Meade Dillon via Mercedes" To: "Mercedes" Cc: "Meade Dillon" Sent: Monday June 24 2019 9:22:46AM Subject: [MBZ] AC success Saturday and yesterday I finished the reseal of the compressor, installed that, vacuumed the system for 30 minutes, and then put a small amount of propane / butane blend and then pressurized up to 150 psi with CO2. Checked around with the sniffer for leaks, and noted a leak at the compressor shaft seal and small leak (still) from the evaporator. The shaft seal leaking was expected, typically they need to run-in a bit to fully seat. I had one more can of leak sealer to address the evaporator. Bled off the test charge, installed a new receiver / dryer, vacuum again for thirty minutes, then attempted to charge the system with r134. First can goes in liquid, engine off, once that is mostly into the system, right the can and then start the engine so compressor can suck in more juice. Now I've got intermittent compressor engagement. KLIMA finally decided it was done playing. I'm not sure if the relay is bad, or an input is bad. Spent some time futzing with it, no joy, so I took the bypass relay and wiring that I made up for The White Whale KLIMA and installed that into this '95 E300. Lost more time, I was too hasty and pulled out the pins from the White Whale KLIMA socket before I noted which went where (only three pins are used), so I had to search around for that info. Found it on Peach Parts. Finally got the KLIMA bypass going, and proceeded with charging the system, then installed the leak sealer. Ran the AC for another 20 plus minutes per the leak sealer instructions, and then checked again for leaks with my sniffer. No leaks detected anywhere, so I think I've finally got this one sorted. I do need to set up the transmission kick-down jumper, to restore that function. - Max Charleston SC ___ http://www.okiebenz.com [1] To search list archives Links: -- [1] http://www.okiebenz.com ___ 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] 107? pedal car
That would be the only way I get a 107 into the GWN. I am heading back there for a few weeks. I expect no tomfoolery to happen. I still have a large agglomeration of Benz pahhtz to peddle. It would really be nice if I could find a home for the SD before I leave. Tabs are expired and I am sure the parking gestapo will want to tag and tow it. I think I will donate it to charity before that happens. At least that way some CoParts buyer will give it a home and I get a tax write off. I did offload the om617 with trans last night. Guy is building a jeep crawler. He took much more with him from my CL offerings. Even paid me for the engine lift we used to get it onto his trailer. More room in the garage and basement now.

Re: [MBZ] How Much AC Compressor Oil?
Doing the AC on the SDL and SD a few summers ago I found something that stated 4oz. capacity. That was on the R12 system, and finding the proper AC Delco oil was entertaining.

While stopped in the Charleston area for a week or so I had to take the car in to the dealer and got to look at the current crop of diesels.

You need something that will shut the engine down if the fuel pressure drops below the acceptable level. Easy enough to do on a gas engine, or at least it used to be easy. If I recall the simple answer was to put the electrical power feed for the ignition into a scenario where it would be cut off if the oil pressure sender did not indicate pressure. I think the circuit is open when the sender says there is oil pressure and closes when the pressure drops and permits the sender to complete the circuit to ground.

Lots of people used to complain about the "ricer rockets" that the younger folks were building. I truly did not care what they did to Honda Civics and thought it was a good sign that the younger folks were still interested in cars. I feel a bit worse about what they are doing to old Mercedes, but if they buy them, they are entitled to do what they want to them and it really is none of our business.

Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** Diesel vs. Electric
Equally, I raise the point that, nuclear, solar, geothermal, wind, hydro, all come with their own set of environmental impacts, which in some cases are extremely far reaching. The main difference as I see it between Diesel and EV is simply the poorly accounted long term impacts of the manufacture and support of EV. The "emissions" are displaced away from the vehicle, however, the environmental impacts are just as real, perhaps more long lasting, [in some ] and give a false indication of being "clean".
