[MBZ] Interesting tidbit

[Craig via Mercedes]

One of the pieces of literature I got from O'Reilly Auto Parts recently
is a brochure highlighting Dorman's "OE Fix" series of parts, which are
re-engineered to solve problems with factory parts.

In that brochure, I learned the differential covers for Toyota 4Runner,
FJ Cruiser, Tacoma, and Tundra vehicles are welded in place. The problem
with the factory parts is they are made of thin-gauge stamped steel,
which lets rust eat away faster than other areas.

Their fix was to make a replacement cover with thicker steel -- not what
I would consider a lifetime fix, but since there were no replacement
covers available before they introduced their part, I guess it's an
improvement.

I do, though, find it amazing any manufacturer would weld differential
covers in place!

The clutch is replaceable, but you have to take the starter off to get to it.

Re: [MBZ] 240D cold weather starting

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Don't forget to put the go pedal to the floor and crank until it starts or 
quits. My 83 240D would start pretty well down to about -10F. That first winter 
I drove that car we had a week of -20F every frickin night. That was when I 
figured out that a 400W inverter would power the block heater...
Interestingly the Pisten Bully starting procedure is copied from MB which is 
unsurprising I suppose with an MB engine.The ASV is strange and starts harder 
if I hold the go pedal but it does want to be held at high idle for a minute or 
two right after starting.

When I do that on my W116 300SD, the starter disengages after about 10
seconds and seems to just spin free. So it must have a weak solenoid?

The real key to cold starting to crank until it's actually running, if you stop 
you won't have enough battery to try again without charging it.

For breakers which are built correctly, that won't work. The internal
mechanism trips and then moves the external handle.

[MBZ] 240D cold weather starting

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

My $400 240D I bought has been sitting outside not started for over a week. It 
is currently 13 outside and for grins I wanted to see if it would start. I did 
not figure it would but I glowed it once then as soon as light went out I 
started cranking it. It started hitting and slowest all cylinder started 
firing. Amazing.

Re: [MBZ] OT heat pump aux heat

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

After going to Lowe’s last night, 2 farm stores, a hardware store today, and 
finally a 2nd Lowe’s I was finally able to find a breaker. I finished 
installing it a little while ago then cranked up the thermostat so the aux heat 
would kick in. I let it run for about 20-30 minutes and it didn’t trip. 
Hopefully problem solved.

Re: [MBZ] OT heat pump aux heat

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

If you were to plot the current draw vs. time on the resistance heater,
I bet it's quite a bit higher in the first few seconds and drops off as
the elements heat up.

Maybe put in a "slow trip" breaker designed for loads that have an
initial surge of current close to the limit, but then drop off. They
will still trip on a prolonged overload or short.

Re: [MBZ] Lost ML key.

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

My local locksmith was able to make a duplicate key for my Focus,
including the RFID programming, the caveat being that he needed the
original key to "clone" the RFID chip from.

If I hadn't had the original, he'd have had to get the key pattern and
the RFID data from Ford, and I don't know what that would entail. I
might have had to go to a Ford dealer and pay $$$.

Interestingly my Nissan doesn't have RFID in the ignition at all, and
it's newer than the Focus. I'm using a plain jane metal duplicate key on
it, as the boys have lost all the originals.

We stopped one night when the weather was getting bad out in the middle of 
nowhere West Texas in some little town with one diner and this little notel 
motel. I swear by the time I got checked in I had heard the girl’s whole life

Re: [MBZ] OT heat pump aux heat

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I’m confident out payback would have been 5-7 years at most. The original owner 
cheaped out on the HVAC in the place, as it was really undersized. As a result 
if was horribly inefficient and expensive. A lot of stratification between 
floors, poor distribution, etc., all resulted in gas (heating) bills of $200+ 
in the dead of winter, and nearly as much additional for electricity when 
cooling in the summer.

The actual price for the whole system would have been around $18k, but Federal 
and state spiffs would have made it about $11k out of pocket. Indiana had a 
really good energy creedit setup for geothermal at the time. As I mentioned, 
you even got a credit on your property taxes for it, too.

Re: [MBZ] OT heat pump aux heat

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

The regional differences are interesting, I've never lived anywhere that didn't 
have hydronic heat. The apartment we lived in had natural gas but everywhere 
else has been oil.Our new farmhouse is oil fired hot air. If I were going to 
live in it in the winter I would explore converting to hydronic.

Re: [MBZ] OT heat pump aux heat

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

My HVAC guy in Indiana was insistent that I replace my poorly sized 80,000 BTU 
gas furnace and 4 ton AC unit for a 4,000 SF house with geothermal. Up front 
cost was around $11k but he was insistent my monthly energy bill would be $100 
or less, regardless of the season and condition.

Had we stayed there I would have taken him up on it. There was a big annual 
property tax credit from the state for having geothermal,too.

Geothermal will do a lot better than a regular heat pump. There is more
heat under the ground than in the air when temperatures are that cold.

Seems like an engine out repair. Totally not worth it. I wonder if the 500 
would sit easily on the engine mounts to just upgrade a car.

Yes. From what I have read, every M272 M273 engine manufactured in 2006-2008 
model years is suspect. One could probably make a cottage industry repairing 
these, but it would likely be a money and time wasting effort. It's sad. The 
facelift W211 is really a beautiful car.

Re: [MBZ] Made it back with the CD

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Driving back all the way from west Texas, it was not too bad out west as nobody 
is out there so not much traffic. When I got back to Oklahoma and the 
interstate speed limit is 75 normal speed 80, myself and most people were 
driving about 60-65, with semis just flying by. I guess they did not realize 
they were basically driving on a layer of ice for the most part. Of course saw 
lots of Texas and Florida plates flying past as well. Saw several semis and 
cars off the side of the road upside down. No pileups though.

Re: [MBZ] OT heat pump aux heat

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Our wood stove is a Jotul 118 which is a big stove, it'll accept 24" wood. 
It's in the basement which is usually considered a negative but our house is 
small enough (just over 900sqft) that it heats the whole place pretty well 
although the bedroom stays pretty cool. I set the oil burner thermostat at 62 
and then use wood to bring the house to 69-70 all day. Its back down to 62 by 
morning but I can have it back up to temp within 2 hours.
This week I've been teaching, for that I sit on our enclosed porch and run one 
of those oil filled electric heater. There is hydronic out here but the circuit 
is shut off. I figure for only 5-6 hours a day it doesn't make sense to run the 
oil heat. With the door open the heat from the rest of the house gets in too. 
Usually start the electric heat 2-3 hours before class and shut it off 1 hour 
before class ends. Figure less than $1 a day...

 We have a Jotul wood insert which is outstanding.  Its been cold, under
freezing for a few days for the most part.  I heat with my minisplits and
the wood insert, but the large 3 zone split stopped working earlier this
week.  This meant we were running with one 12k split on one end of the
house and the wood stove.  Still managed to keep the living room in the low
70s.  It would fall into the 60s overnight after the insert started to burn
low.

The failure of the Fujitsu was interesting... I self installed, so assumed
no warranty.  Initially the failure showed on the indoor units as no
communication to the outdoor.  The outdoor unit showed no power to the main
board, but was supplying power to the indoor units.  I found a blown fuse
on one power supply board, soldered on.  I ordered a new fuse from
McMaster, checked the obvious places I could for a short, then soldered it
in when it arrived.  The unit powered up then, but wouldn't heat and gave a
code for the outdoor unit fan after a while, which wasn't spinning.  More
testing showed 400V DC (!) to the fan connector and open circuit on the fan
motor.  I ordered up a new fan and installed it yesterday and all is good
now.

Cost me about $300 to fix.  If I did it by the service manual, I would have
had to replace the power supply board, the main control board, and the
fan.  Probably would have been a $2000 repair if I called someone.

But its a nice reminder how powerful the Jotul insert is.  Worst case, I
can run the oil fired steam heat still, but it generally costs a fortune.

Agreed.  I've seen these seats ripped in 2014 model sedans, both front and
back.  OTOH they are cheap to replace.

[MBZ] oel filters

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

I ordered 4 Mann oel filters from FCEuro for the 05E320 and 05ML500 and 
they are the same filters.  Even with shipping they were cheaper than 
Amazon and a bit more than half what Advance Auto would charge locally 
even with the discounts. And they have "free" replacements if you send 
them back.  I don't know what it would cost to send back a nasty old 
filter but there you go.  Maybe those post office flat rate boxes are 
cheap?  I should check it out when I get around to changing them again.


I probably should have thought about other stuff I needed to save the 
shipping but my brain is too lazy this morning.
