My parents had a Toyota Camry that would get cold enough that the air from the 
vents would create fog in the car if the humidity was high. Sort of the 
opposite effect of exhaling on a cold winter day. Never measured what the temp 
was but I've never seen another car do that.

For the record, _after_ I recharged my W210 I got 53 degrees.
Depending on the car, mid-40's is as good as it gets.

> Mid 30s would be a really good vent temp in a car.

Exceptionally good.  All such systems are designed to NOT hit freezing
at the evaporator, when working correctly, so as not to clog with ice.
I think the best vent temperature I've ever seen, on any car I've worked
on and which was working correctly, was 38 degrees F.

I had one get an exceptionally low temperature, but it was due to a
clogged expansion valve.  The temps were ultra-low, but its cooling
capacity was also.  (Analogous to volts vs amperes.)  This was the
250C.  I opened the expansion valve and cleaned it out, thereafter it
worked correctly.

An overfull AC system generally does not over-cool.  That's not how it works.
The systems are simple mechanically.  Not so much, thermodynamically.

I’ve had a few cars I’ve gotten down in this range after some tweaking. Mrs. 
Day used to require a “portal to the Arctic” from center vents, so I did what I 
could to dial stuff in. Thankfully, these systems have no problem doing it for 
the most part.

Yeah the best way to be sure it's right is to vacuum the system down to empty, 
then recharge with the specified amount of refrigerant by weight. This is what 
a good AC shop would do. If the system doesn't cool properly after that, you 
have other problems.

Most of us at home probably don't have a refrigerant recovery system and I

So I just look at the pressures and add refrigerant (slowly) until they look

This one has a little tube of rubber cement with it and the plug things are

Re: [MBZ] AC Overcharged Question!!!

2023-05-28 Thread Robert Koziak via Mercedes
Thanks for the quick replies!  I borrowed another digital temperature gauge 
from a neighbor and the readings were consistently between 26 F and 36 F at 
"max cold" when checked at the four vents.  I suspect the digital Temperature 
Gauge I had was giving faulty readings too.
The AC feels great but I was just concerned about an overfill causing problems. 
 Tomorrow time to buy new gauges and recheck everything.  
Have a great Memorial Day!

AC is all about pressures and temperatures. It’s not something you can guess at 
and expect a specific outcome.

And just as an aside, I suspect the 10 degrees comment was an embellishment 
rather than an exact reading. These systems have a low temperature cutout that 
would shut off the compressor if the evaporator freezes or temperature gets 
below a setpoint.

There was a hack for the W126 chassis cars I used to do to mine:

The compressor cutout on these was a mechanical switch connected to a capillary 
tube that was positioned between the evaporator fins in the heater box. It’s 
easy to remove. I think they typically cut out at 40F or maybe slightly below 
that. You could recalibrate them by putting the capillary into a glass of 
crushed ice/water to get it down to near freezing. Using a test light or an 
ohmmeter, you calibrated the switch to open at the lower temperature.

Made a big difference in places like Florida, believe me!

Re: [MBZ] Tire plug

2023-05-28 Thread dan penoff.com via Mercedes
Yikes! That’s quite the spike!

I’ve plugged a few tires for the eldest son. Got the kit and the strip of plugs 
with the tool. A tire guy told me years ago that the trick to a good plug was 
to use the vulcanizing compound you get in a can with it, like slather the 
plug. It goes in easier and seals great!

https://www.amazon.com/Xtra-Seal-Chemical-Vulcanizing-Cement-oz/dp/B01J47PO8W/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=vulcanizing+cement+for+tire+patches&qid=1685305989&sprefix=vulcanizing+%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-2

I don’t recall eldest son ever having an issue with any of the tires we plugged 
for him.

enough to get the plug tool and plug stuff in. Got a drill and drilled it a bit

It was a 8d nail

I seem to recall M110s having issues with the head, like valve guides that wore 
out or something like that, much like the M103s? I know they were pretty 
high-revving machines as I recall. Never owned one, saw/wrenched on a few, both 
fuel injected and carbureted.

Re: [MBZ] AC Overcharged Question!!!

2023-05-28 Thread dan penoff.com via Mercedes
AC is all about pressures and temperatures. It’s not something you can guess at 
and expect a specific outcome.

And just as an aside, I suspect the 10 degrees comment was an embellishment 
rather than an exact reading. These systems have a low temperature cutout that 
would shut off the compressor if the evaporator freezes or temperature gets 
below a setpoint.

There was a hack for the W126 chassis cars I used to do to mine:

The compressor cutout on these was a mechanical switch connected to a capillary 
tube that was positioned between the evaporator fins in the heater box. It’s 
easy to remove. I think they typically cut out at 40F or maybe slightly below 
that. You could recalibrate them by putting the capillary into a glass of 
crushed ice/water to get it down to near freezing. Using a test light or an 
ohmmeter, you calibrated the switch to open at the lower temperature.

Made a big difference in places like Florida, believe me!

I don't think a car AC will ever blow as cold as 10 degrees F. How are you 
measuring these temps?

One can is probably not enough to damage anything, but if you're worried don't 
run the AC until you get a working pressure gauge, ideally a set that measures 
low and high side pressures. Harbor Freight sells them.

https://www.harborfreight.com/r134a-ac-manifold-gauge-set-58776.html

You can then compare your readings to a chart such as this one.

Hi All,
    I just went to charge my 2011 Mercedes C300.  The vents were blowing 45 
degrees F so I knew it needed some R134.  The 134A adapter I used has a faulty 
gauge!  I used about one can and the vents were blowing 10 degrees F after I 
charged the system.  Did I overfill the system and should I let some out?
    Don't want to cause damage...help!  I will buy a new gauge 
tomorrow and check.

Re: [MBZ] A Random 280E

2023-05-28 Thread Allan Streib via Mercedes
Someone who buys a diesel engine car is in my mind already more mechanically 
involved and invested in the car than someone who buys a gasoline engine car.

A new gasoline engine Mercedes is a status symbol, a fashion accessory.

A diesel engine Mercedes is a considered purchase, by someone who has at least 
enough interest in the engine to choose it.

The owner of a diesel Mercedes probably would know better than to drive it 
after the belt came off.

[MBZ] needs a new spark plug, brake rodars, 2005 Mercedes-Benz clk-class CLK 320 Coupe 2D, $1, 100

2023-05-28 Thread Floyd Thursby via Mercedes

My flip phone was not taking good pitchers today

So yes it has work that needs to be done but if you like older Mercedes 
that look decent and are ok with a little bit of a project (and for this 
price) than this would be good for you. (It does have a salvaged vehicle 
title)

Re: [MBZ] OT Close encounter of the second kind

I can't keep track of the number of people who have told me "You can't shoot 
geese, they're protected"I reply, "I think you mean regulated. Where I live we 
can shoot them from September to March. In September I can get 15 a day. 
They're delicious."
