LOL!!

I have a scar on the back of my hand from an injury sustained during the 
replacement of a heater blower motor in a W114. A reminder to never, ever have 
a W114 again unless the heater blower is working.

Re: [MBZ] Cheap rotors

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

Only thing you need to do is rough up the surface of rotors shipped in 
cosmoline after removing the "grease".  This prevents the spiral grooves from 
turning or the coarse grind from wearing the pads funny initially.  No prep 
needed for the coated ones, just install and drive.

Light pedal if at all possible until the pads and rotor wear together to 
prevent localized overheating, but that doesn't take long.

Re: [MBZ] Cheap rotors

[David Bruckmann via Mercedes]

At least for the W115 and W123, Mercedes used to cast the rotors themselves. 
Not sure if that's still the case, but there's most DEFINITELY a difference 
between brands based on manufacturing methodology.

Gotta brake in the breaks right.  Actually, "bed" them.  

I used to have a lot of trouble with my Suburban.  After finding
the info from Carroll Smith I have not had _any_.  And I've done a
few brake jobs on a few cars.

Sounds like the fault of the installer, not the metal.

Re: [MBZ] Cheap rotors

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I have read something about bedding them in.  Supposed to make about 10 
slow downs but not come to a complete stop so the pad does not sit on 
there and imprint material on the rotor.  I have actually never followed 
this procedure before.  I may have to replace these cheap rotors and 
actually go thru the bed in procedure.

Re: [MBZ] Cheap rotors

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

One thing that can cause pedal pulsation is a hard spot in the rotor.  Usually 
happens when you make a panic stop and then hold the pedal down, there is 
enough carbon in the pads and the rotor is hot enough you add some carbon the 
the spot under the pads, making  it wear less that the rest of the surtace.

Can be cured by very light turning (couple thousandths removed only) and 
prevented by allowing the car to roll a few feet after very hard stops.

MB rotors are sacrificial -- by the end of the second set of pads they are too 
thin and need to be replaced.  Reduces unsprung weight in the suspension and 
reduces the cost of the rotors.  They are cheap, replace when necessary.

Re: [MBZ] Cheap rotors

I call BS on this as well. Along with the “you can’t turn Mercedes rotors”. As 
long as the rotor hasn’t exceeded the minimum thickness, there’s no reason why 
you can’t take metal off of it.

OE rotors have a little quarter moon sort of notch in them that is the 
indicator of minimum thickness. You have to look close to see it, but it’s 
there.

Having owned all three of those, IMHO, you'd have a great car if you could
put the front suspension from the W115 under the W123, but it still would
not be as good as the W124 - from a driving/handling perspective.
From a maintenance perspective, the W123 beats them all.

Re: [MBZ] Cheap rotors

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I don’t know. All I do know is your not supposed to turn MB rotors for some 
reason. I replaced the pads and rotors at the same time btw. I seem to recall a 
long time ago hearing that you should not put brand new pads on brand new 
rotors, but not sure what the reason would be if I did hear that somewhere.

[MBZ] Cheap rotors

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I bought some cheap rotors off rockauto a while back for the 01 e320.  
They seem to already be warped as I am already getting some pulsation on 
braking.  I just figured a piece of metal is a piece of metal as far as 
rotors go.  Perhaps not.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Ceiling Fan/Electrical Quandary

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

Depending on how the ceiling light fixtures are wired there may be a hot
lead at one or the other, which is then routed through the wall switch
and back to the fixture.

[MBZ] Admin, announcing Okie Talk

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

In the interest of keeping this list free of politics and other subjects 
that might not be in line with our mission of discussion all things 
Mercedes, I have created a separate list for these subjects. It is 
strictly an off topic list with no MB content. This is no way means that 
off topics posts are no longer allowed here.  Quite the contrary, 
business will proceed as usual here. This new list is a place where we 
can talk about politics, guns, viruses, etc.  The only rule for this new 
list is no vulgarity, and respect your fellow list members.  So 
basically, the same rules as here except politics are allowed.  If a 
topic spirals out of control and you do not want to read it, scroll on.  
Feel free to sign up at the link below and enjoy the new list.

Re: [MBZ] That nice 01 SL500 on CL

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

One would certainly want to go over this car with the proverbial fine toothed 
comb, but with what little information the seller has offered it appears to be 
a pretty good deal. The interior looks clean, the exterior much the same. 
Understand that there’s a good possibility the owner isn’t savvy enough or 
capable of doing the top hydraulics - we’re not all accomplished DIYers. Even 
if they went to an independent shop that used Top Hydraulics for their source 
for cylinders and locks the final bill would easily be $2k-$3k, if not more. 
That’s enough to spook anyone for a car of this vintage and value.

The M113 is a pretty robust engine and easy to maintain. Unlikely there’s 
anything going on with it.

If it were close to me I would definitely check it out. If all was well except 
for hydraulics I would pay $4500-$5k for the car. It’s probably an $8k-$10k car 
on the market with everything sorted.

Re: [MBZ] 124 brakes

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

If nothing else you have the basis for a heartwarming screen play (rom com)
about a Norman Rockwell-esque family (including a BAD dog), and their
hilarious misadventures driving an unpredictable vintage Mercedes station
wagon.

OTOH, my 300TD is well maintained and solid as a rock.  If you want to
replace your aging steed with a reliable mirror image let me know.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Ceiling Fan/Electrical Quandary

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I didn’t elaborate on the ceiling fan, but it’s a Hunter that runs off a remote 
for everything - light and fan, dimmer and speeds. So I just need power to it 
all the time and nothing else. That’s why I was saying it could easily be on 
the light circuit as any time the lights are off the fan wouldn’t be in use 
anyway.

At this point it’s more of a matter to see if I can get to the junction boxes 
on either the ventilation fan or can lights. If I can get that resolved I can 
do the remote thing to control the ventilation fan. It’s only a foot or two 
away in the ceiling so there’s even the chance I could cut the hole for the fan 
support and get a hand up there to access the junction box. I can do the remote 
thingy from inside the fan enclosure.

Hmm.

 So here’s the deal:
 
 I want to install a ceiling fan on the ceiling of our master bathroom. The 
 roof pitch over this part of the house makes it nearly impossible for me 
 to access the area from above. On opposite sides of the bathroom are 
 sink/counter areas with can lights in the ceiling. There is also a 
 ventilation fan in the ceiling as well.
 
 My initial thought was to connect up to one of the can lights (they are 
 controlled together by the same switch) and just run the ceiling fan off 
 of their circuit. It’s highly unlikely that the ceiling fan would be 
 needed if the lights are off. But - since these are can lights the 
 junction boxes are on the outsides of the fixtures, meaning I can’t get to 
 the junction boxes from below because the fixtures were installed from the 
 attic space. At least I believe that to be the case, that I couldn’t 
 dismantle the fixtures from below and drop them out the opening. I can 
 probably snake a wire across the ceiling from one of the can lights to the 
 location where the fan would be installed.
 
 The alternative is to utilize the same feed to the ventilation fan, but 
 that means it would have to be on if the ceiling fan was to operate unless 
 I rigged some means of turning off the ventilation fan locally, like with 
 a chain/pull switch or something like that. The proximity to the ceiling 
 fan would probably make this impossible. Not an ideal situation.
 
 Worst case scenario would be to run a feeder through the attic space (I 
 could possibly get a wire from parts of the attic I can access to the 
 ceiling of the bathroom) all the way back to the distribution panel, but 
 that’s all the way on the opposite side of the house.
 
 I’m looking for ideas here. This is a pretty creative bunch, help me 
 identify a solution I have’t yet thought of.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Ceiling Fan/Electrical Quandary

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

Yeah that’s probably more what it is. I have these fans that I put in, they’re 
switched but a little RF remote works the light and fan operation. I know there 
are similar things for lights. So you could leave the power on at the wall 
switch then turn the fan or light on with their respective remotes. 

There are those Alexa and google lights too but they need WiFi to make the 
lights work.

I’d love to have both of those cars in my driveway. 

I’m growing weary of the W124, wanting to regress to W115 or W123.

Fighting the urge…

I had that happen on a Toyota years ago. I had just installed a new
master cylinder. The rod in brake pedal mechanism that depressed the
master cylinder piston was adjustable, but at the time I had no
idea. Brake shop fixed it after I gave up.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Ceiling Fan/Electrical Quandary

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

See, this is what I was talking about! I hadn’t even considered this approach.

However, it did occur to me that the junction box for the fan will be on the 
outside of the enclosure as well, so I may have to do some butchery to get at 
the connections.

Thanks!

Re: [MBZ] OT - Ceiling Fan/Electrical Quandary

 Yup. I need to do this for my inlaws. Their kitchen light is an old round 
fluorescent deal with a pull cord switch. Last time it failed I had to do some 
major butchery to install a new ballast, next time it fails its going to become 
a fan/light combo with a remote. They have high ceilings and it'd be wicked 
hard run a wire back for a wall mounted switch...

[MBZ] OT - Ceiling Fan/Electrical Quandary

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

So here’s the deal:

I want to install a ceiling fan on the ceiling of our master bathroom. The roof 
pitch over this part of the house makes it nearly impossible for me to access 
the area from above. On opposite sides of the bathroom are sink/counter areas 
with can lights in the ceiling. There is also a ventilation fan in the ceiling 
as well.

My initial thought was to connect up to one of the can lights (they are 
controlled together by the same switch) and just run the ceiling fan off of 
their circuit. It’s highly unlikely that the ceiling fan would be needed if the 
lights are off. But - since these are can lights the junction boxes are on the 
outsides of the fixtures, meaning I can’t get to the junction boxes from below 
because the fixtures were installed from the attic space. At least I believe 
that to be the case, that I couldn’t dismantle the fixtures from below and drop 
them out the opening. I can probably snake a wire across the ceiling from one 
of the can lights to the location where the fan would be installed.

The alternative is to utilize the same feed to the ventilation fan, but that 
means it would have to be on if the ceiling fan was to operate unless I rigged 
some means of turning off the ventilation fan locally, like with a chain/pull 
switch or something like that. The proximity to the ceiling fan would probably 
make this impossible. Not an ideal situation.

Worst case scenario would be to run a feeder through the attic space (I could 
possibly get a wire from parts of the attic I can access to the ceiling of the 
bathroom) all the way back to the distribution panel, but that’s all the way on 
the opposite side of the house.

I’m looking for ideas here. This is a pretty creative bunch, help me identify a 
solution I have’t yet thought of.

Thanks!

Exactly.  It's a phone _repeater_, putting notifications (and time!) at what
should be for you, if you had bothered to buy one, a more convenient location
for checking what's going on.

[MBZ] OT: Sausage party

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Yesterday was the annual sausage party for the guys I was deer hunting with 
last fall.
We processed all the deer last fall, they keep the backstrap and tenderloin and 
cut a bunch of the rear quarters for "stew meat" which is the best dammed stew 
meat you've ever seen. The rest goes into bags for grind. The little doe I shot 
at the end of the season buddy Ben and I did ourselves, we took some steaks out 
of the rear quarters but still had 18# of grind.
So yesterday the grinder got set up and 150# of grind plus about 40# of pork 
fat and a couple boston butts went through. All of it got mixed together into 
sausage.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49687115147_59c7a3ab53_b.jpgThis is the 
second grind, 16# of ground venison plus 4# of pork, with spices etc. IIRC this 
was garlic sausage, but we also did hot, italian and breakfast. The breakfast 
is 15/5, we figured breakfast sausage ought to be a little extra greasy.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49686814646_7de40ba66b_b.jpgThis is the 
final production run. They're stacked left to right by type so each guy got 
pile of each type. I took an extra hot sausage and ended up with 27# of sausage 
in the freezer.
Last night Angie made pasta with italian sausage rolled into balls. I was wiped 
out from working all day but she said it was really good.
I'll probably bring some to ChowdaQ, lets see if thats a big draw... ;)

I would never have an Apple watch, but I can sort of see the value for some of 
the uncommon capabilities it has, like the fall alert for an older person and 
the health monitoring features. Otherwise it’s a lot of repetitive stuff my 
phone can do, I think.

I like my iPhone’s capability to keep track of my walking. Nice to be able to 
look and see how far I’ve walked on a given day.

 I think the Apple watch is horrible, a big old chunk of plastic on the wrist.

There are so many time pieces around I hardly need a watch. My Marine Star is

My first cell phone was a bag phone.  Not much of a replacement
for a watch!  But I gave up watches when I started getting Carpal
Tunnel Syndrome.  Haven't worn one since.

It's ironic that with the advent of Fitbits and Apple watches, they're
coming back.  I might end up with one again after all, we'll see.

 In the lantern collecting world the standard offer for anything is $8. This

could sometimes get something super rare for cheap.

Re: [MBZ] Hey, here's a noncontroversial Benz idea

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 I've got a Bulova Marine Star that Angie gave me a few years ago. My favorite 
watch ever. Sadly at the moment the battery is dead. I should maybe investigate 
how to get the back off without scratching it...

supposed to be some kind of monitor watch.  I guess I should put a 
battery in it.  I don't use either of them though.

Re: [MBZ] 124 brakes

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

Stuck brakes?  Could be one of three things, and I've experienced all
of them on MB:

1) Stuck caliper
2) Failing hose
3) Failing master cylinder

The latter was particularly 'amusing'.  Even with the pedal all the way up,
the _rear_ brake section wouldn't quite release enough to expose the drain
port on the cylinder, resulting in held pressure on the rear brakes and a
near-fire amount of heat.  That one I cured with a file, IIRC, though a new
MC would have done the job.  (This was on the W201 190D.)  My record
of that experience begins:

The PO's dog is what made the Chicken Wagon, which had been in pristine
condition when he'd bought it, the Chicken Wagon.  Steering wheel, door
panels...

No dogs in my cars!  Not without a crate.

MAPP is a little hotter than propane, yes, but doesn't hold a candle to 
acetylene.
Maybe look into getting one of those?  1,001 uses, etc.

I am considering this exact problem.  If the wife's not willing to give it a go,
I've got a Flow-bee around here somewhere that had originally been bought
somewhat as a joke.

Re: [MBZ] 124 brakes

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

I'd replace the hoses too, unless done in the last 5 years or 50,000 miles.  
Sounds very much like  a failed hose lining acting as a one-way valve.

Nothing like fun!

Sounds like a classic case of a swollen brake line? Otherwise a stuck 
piston/caliper?

Beat the dog, not the wife.
