Re: [MBZ] Is that bondo or cocaine?

2022-01-18 Thread G Mann via Mercedes
I judge it to be some really badly done bondo, with rust under the bondo.
Just a guess, but that quarter panel got a serious hit and was repaired by
a body hack with poor skills.

[MBZ] 642 belt sqeek?

2022-01-18 Thread Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes
So I just finished up the GL after fixing the oil leaks on the front of 
the motor, cleaned the pulleys of oil.  Installed a new belt and when I 
start it up now I have noticed a slight squeek at start up for a second 
or so.  After it starts, I guess it sounds OK but seems like I might 
have one making some noise.  I thought about it while I had it apart but 
I wonder if I should just go ahead and replace the tensioner?  Are there 
any idler pulleys on these that should be replaced also like the one 
that falls apart on the 112/113?

undercarriage. They say the seals of the oil cooler is leaking and is 
draining down the side of the engine to the undercarriage panels. I have

[MBZ] 2021 Sprinter - 1k miles - $79,400

2022-01-18 Thread Allan Streib via Mercedes
"fully equipped ,with sleeper"

With "sleeper" being defined as "plywood prison bed in the cargo area."

Does a bare cargo van really go for this much money?

Re: [MBZ] Reality Sets In

2022-01-18 Thread dan penoff.com via Mercedes
Good point. In reality, would it be unrealistic to think that any car with 
nearly 300k on the clock would have that sort of value unless it was some sort 
of unicorn?

I talked to the guy and he’s not terribly forthcoming with information. I tried 
to tease as much as I could out of him, as I live nearby and would possibly 
consider it if the price was more in line with the age and miles. It is a one 
owner and they have service records (sort of) that are with the original 
mechanic in NJ, but they wouldn’t give me any information on the mechanic. I 
told the guy I wanted to get details on the work that’s been done on the car 
over it’s lifetime, like timing chain replacement(s), but he couldn’t tell me 
anything.

Not sure what the dynamics are here, whether it’s a sentimental attachment or 
what, but they’re not making it easy, that’s for sure. I told him without more 
information or provenance it was worth about $3k, maybe $4k on a really good 
day. We’ll see, I guess.

I’m just wondering about an M117 with close to 300k on it. That t’s made it 
this far says something if it’s the original engine, but again, this was not 
information the seller was willing to provide.

Re: [MBZ] diesel that does not want to stop

Do you think there is any chance that the engine is sucking oil or trans 
fluid etc in somehow and running without the normal fuel feed and 
parking it nose up removes the source of fuel? Sort of a run away diesel 
but at idle speed?

I didn't know that was adjustable. I have the same issue on my W116 rear

[MBZ] W116 or R107 exterior door handle adjustment

2022-01-18 Thread David Bruckmann via Mercedes
Good day all,

My W116 300SD's rear driver's side exterior door handle requires an
increasingly FORCEFUL tug to open the door. I know I have adjusted this
once before, but cannot find the information in the factory manuals or in
my email from this list.

If anyone has any tips... the irony is that I have done this adjustment
before on the driver's door, so I obviously had the instructions somewhere!
It would be the same as on the R107, which I also have!

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

D.
