Re: [MBZ] 95 diesel wagon

[Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes]

This is actually a really good starting point for a 606 swap, but it would
be a huge step backward for me. I am pretty close to bolting an entire
shelf of v8 driveline and Finnish induction and fuel injection stuff into
my 87 wagon. Just need to figure out why my metric 10mm iso bubble flare
tool will not work on 3/8" stainless tubing! The OD is nearly identical,
but the tool die will not grab the 3/8" tubing. It is the oil supply line
for the turbos.

Re: [MBZ] Mobil Oil, engineering the finest non-answers ever read by man...

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

I was unimpressed with Valvoline in my Dodge Ram. Around 4,000 miles the 
lifters would start to tick. Change the oil and it went away. With M1 it 
doesn't tick even at 10,000 miles. That's with 5w20...
My VWs both get Lubrimoly, 5w40 for the Golf and 10w30 for my Jetta. VW is very 
stringent in it's oil standards...
I wonder what's in Amsoil these days. I see it in more stores.

One would sort of guess that generic house brand full synthetic from 
Wal-Mart or other similar vendors might be about as good and is a lot 
less expensive.

I think someone on the list suggested buying synthetic oil from places 
that sell to farmers as big farm equipment is not cheap to buy or repair 
and the farm suppliers likely do not want to get a reputation for 
selling poor quality oil.

What is the consensus?  Am I wasting money by paying for Mobil 1? Is a 
lot of the price related to hype that no longer is valid?
I am using it in my wife's Honda Accord and my F150. Both  vehicles are 
obviously gas engines. They both call for 5-20  and I try not to exceed 
5K miles before changing oil.
I have never used synthetic in the old Mercedes diesel because I put 
very few miles on it in an average year and try to make sure I change it 
annually.

Re: [MBZ] OT so my friend bought a car yesterday

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

What would that involve?  She is taking it to shop Tuesday to get it 
looked over.  I suggested first thing was to change the fluid and 
filter, sent her that info.  I'll see what the shop says and try to 
convince her easy things first.  She now has all this anxiety over it so 
I have to overcome that.


Nissan did extend the warranty on these transmissions to 120kmi and 10yr 
I think, her car is an 08 and has 150kmi so past both those.  They also 
reflashed the control computers to do something with engine braking and 
downshifting or something, I should find out if this car had that done, 
or the tranny replaced.

[MBZ] LONG emails

[ROGER HALE via Mercedes]

So, could you guys please clip your emails, toenails, or something?  These long 
repetition filled emails take up space and cause me to abuse my mouse having to 
scroll so much to get past them.  

Just a polite request.  Toenail clipping is at your discretion.

[MBZ] IAAI auctions

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Sunday evening fun...

So I thought I finally got set up with IAAI to bid on cars at auction 
after putting in all my info and paying $200.  They screwed around the 
other day finalizing it and I missed an E500 that I thought might be a 
good deal to get some bits for this one I have, the suspension looked to 
be sitting OK and the fender and doors I need were OK and would be a 
color match.  It sold for $525, no telling what bidding would have gone 
to but I was thinking my max would be $600.  Anyway...


This car was in NC, public can buy cars there but here in SC you need a 
dealer or salvage license.  So that's a good deal.


So I'm looking at cars today, there is an 03 E500 like this one I have, 
different color though, and anyone can bid on it it says. 
https://www.iaai.com/Vehicle?itemID=32073516=12=True\.


it's kinda buggered up interior wise,, won't start, looks like someone 
started to strip it or something so maybe it would go cheepcheep.  The 
left front fender is smashed though, I need that, but it is sitting OK 
and has pimp wheels that are probably worth something too.


But there is a notice that says "You cannot Bid/Buy.
- You are either a guest buyer or the status of your account does not 
permit you to buy."


I sent them a msg which they might answer in a week, and it takes 
forever to get through on the phone, to find out exactly what it is I 
signed up for.


There's another one that doesn't have a sale date specified yet but the 
metal looks OK and it is not collapsed.

Re: [MBZ] ebay

[ROGER HALE via Mercedes]

In Georgia, yet another greedy politician state, they passed a law last year 
that if you have more than $500,000 per year in internet sales, you are 
required to collect tax on those sales.  It's just more greedy political stuff. 
 We need to all stop carping about this stuff and start voting these greedy 
joke politicians out of office, regardless of which party they represent.  None 
of them care about you and me, the taxpayers, it's become about getting more 
money to spend at the federal, state, and local levels.  Most of these tax 
dollars do little good for the average taxpayer.  Again, stop carping and VOTE.

Best Wishes,

Roger

Re: [MBZ] How to get off buggered up torx bolt?

[G Mann via Mercedes]

You might want to do a "Practice weld" of a nut and a bolt in a vice to get
a feel for welder heat setting and just how it works.
You will find the weld is nicely encapsulated inside the nut and contained
in the thread area, so you don't get splatter or sparks in surrounding
area... if you press the nut into position with the pliers firm and smooth,
then insert the wire into the thread hole and cover the thread hole with
the gas cup. I trim the wire to protrude about 1/4 inch, so when I pull the
trigger, the wire comes out, gas and fire comes on, and it makes the weld.
If you watch the nut heat up as the weld happens, you'll get a good feel
for when you have enough weld...

Disengage pliers and welder, quench the weld with water you should be
good.

Re: [MBZ] How to get off buggered up torx bolt?

[G Mann via Mercedes]

"IF" you have a wire feed welder, and IF you have access room to try this
trick, I've used it to great success for the "Impossible bolt removal"
Your mileage may vary, depending on how much access you have to make it all
work.

So:
Select a nut that will fit over the head of the bolt / screw head/ broken
stud/ etc. with the nut thread area within the margins of the outside
diameter of the bolt to be taken off. Hold the nut in place with pliers,
against the messed up head that will no longer hold a tool to remove it. I
find plain steel nuts work best, not galvanized.
While holding the nut in position, insert the wire feed into the thread
hole and energize the welder, welding the nut to the offending broken
bolt... While the nut and weld are hot and red, quench the weld with water.
This cools the bolt and the weld, while helping break any rust bond the
bolt has, and shrinking the broken bolt just a bit in it's hole...

You now have a hex nut to put a tool on, welded to the damaged "special
fitting head" that failed to hold the "special tool", and you can apply
considerable more force to break loose the damaged bolt.

You needed a new special bolt anyway, so it's a win/win/win  Done and
dusted
Of course, use care to weld the sacrificial nut to the damaged bolt, not
the surrounding material. Most wire feed wire has a yield strength of
around 80,000 PSI, so if you get 1/4 inch of weld surface, you win the day.

Re: [MBZ] ebay

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

It's complicated.  But eBay will now collect sales tax, even between private 
sellers and buyers.
One ASSUMES that the greedy States, having crafted these near-attainder bills 
specifically for
eBay and Amazon, are watching them VERY closely.

Amazon has two operating modes.  Where Amazon itself is the seller, via its 
widespread shipping
centers, sales tax does apply.  When it only hosts the listing, which is 
actually sold and shipped from
a vendor, only now is it also collecting sales tax.  Just like eBay.

Can you grind a slot in it then go at it with a chisel to rotate it a 
bit or loosen it up with an air hammer?

Re: [MBZ] How to get off buggered up torx bolt?

Good point. 
The drive stub is longer than the bolt, right?
So if you can pull the whole axle, you should be able to lift the joint over 
the bolt.

Re: [MBZ] How to get off buggered up torx bolt?

[Rick Knoble via Mercedes]

Is it torx (internal star) or e-socket (external star)?
I've had good luck with using the correct size socket.
A slightly smaller (larger for external) one will fit and work, but if one bolt 
is too tight, it will bugger the star up. Heading to HF later to get a new set, 
myself.

I'm not sure the bolt extractor will work on those.

Re: [MBZ] How to get off buggered up torx bolt?

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

The axle should compress enough, if you cut off the bolt head.

Open the differential and pull off the clip so you can take the whole stub out?

I’m probably going to have to get a bolt extraction set, never had one before 
surprisingly. Will those work on these crappy torx head bolts?

[MBZ] How to get off buggered up torx bolt?

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I’m in the process of removing a read axle in order to replace the rear wheel 
bearing. I have 5 of the 6 bolts out but of course 1 of them is buggered up. 
The way the bolts are in relation to the axle boot near it it is difficult to 
get a good solid grip on the without it slipping. If not very careful you will 
round it off. Any idea on how to proceed? I’m not sure I can just try cutting 
the head off because the axle must slip done from the diff. I don’t think there 
is enough room to pull it off the bolt stud then down.

Re: [MBZ] ebay

I don’t see how they can tax a private seller on eBay selling a used item. If 
they do I am really doubtful that tax actually makes it to the state since used 
items sold by private sellers are not taxable here.

Are the w124 lights on the wagon not the same as those that would have come on 
the 94/95 w124?  If the glass is a rare  or hard to source item, film would 
give a modicum on protection.  Installation is much the same as application of

Might also be buyer location, though now the state of washington is no longer  
honoring purchasers from locals without sales taxes.  Used to be you could show 
your ID and the merchant would not collect tax.  This year you pay the tax and 
have to keep your sales papers so you can ask for a reimbursement
