[MBZ] Clock Help

[Vernon Ritchey]

The clock in my 82 300SD finally quit.  From initial inspection, it appears 
that the resistor just abobe the crystal is cooked.  Can anyone advise how to 
proceed?  Id the cooked resistor the problem or just a symptom of some other 
problem?  Does anyone have a schematic?  Are these things DYI fixable or do I 
need to send it somewhere?  Any help appreciated.

hi all
yesterday i went i started my car and heard that skipping/starter  sound(
the starter is engaged, the teeth on the bendix (drive  ARE fully engaged and
not skipping /stripping on the flywheel )
 the reason why i am writing ,is this has been happening for the  last three
years  i replaced the starter originally ? replaced it last year  ( bosch
rebuilt) and am having the same problem now 1 year later
oh this happens only when its cold out side... 20 deg or less  the starter
engages , skips engaged and starts the engine  and  when the car warms up all is
fine.
 naturally i have checked the flywheel teeth  2 times now and its  fine
 has any body had a starter with a armature that skips in side the  bendix
...???

G;ad I saved this (mine just died too).


From Luthor Gulseth, 2/14/05:


"No need for a new odometer.  Visit www.odometergears.com  he carrys
(makes) all the proper gears for our odometers.  I had the same problem a
while back.  Take the spedo out and remove the clear plastic cover.  I'm
sure you will find a gear disolved or the drive gear loose on the shaft.
Simple and gears are reasonable.  No affiliation with the guy, just a well

Well, the odometer in the 300SDL has quit.  I had a 560SEL that did the 
same
thing.  Both stopped right around 200K miles.  Is this a common problem, 
and

any info on what to look for and how to repair it?  If not, I guess I'm in
the market for a new instrument cluster.  There's one on ebay for a 300E
that looks similar, minus the outside temp gauge.  Wonder if that would be 
a

drop-in replacement?  Any info would be appreciated.



Thanks!

Re: [MBZ] How far can you drive a diesel with failed charging sys?

[Vernon Ritchey]

This is a good tip from Trampas.  If the alternator light doesn't come on 
befire you crank the engine, the light is unreliable. In other words, it may 
not light when the alternator stops charging.  Don't ask how I know.

Trampas said:

When brushes go bad alternator/battery light will not come on. To
temporarily fix problem hit alternator with a broom stick, hammer handle,
etc. This will give you another 50-60 miles.

Re: [MBZ] How far can you drive a diesel with failed charging sys?

[Vernon Ritchey]

In my recent experience, the answer is until (1) fuel is gone, or (2) it 
gets dark, or (3) you can't stand the mono valve full open any longer.

Delvac 1 is preferable to the others if you can find it, at least for
diesels.  I use Mobile 1 15W50 for summer use, 5W50 most of the time
for winter, I have been doing about four oil changes a year lately with
the milage I'm accumulating.  6000 mile intervals work fine with a
filter each change so far -- car runs like a top at 234,000 miles and
starts instantly, doesn't use more than a quart in 6000 miles.

Re: [MBZ] Steering column lock 82TDt

[Vernon Ritchey]

When my 300TD did this, I removed the lock cylinder and squirted oil into 
the steering lock mechanism (this was in Florida).  Replaced lock cylinder 
and it's been OK since then.

Has anyone "studied" the workings of the steering column locking 
mechanism?


I have replaced the lock cylinder but the steering column lock  binds 
when the wheel is in a certain position.  Once you hear that  sliding 
shaft click  into place you know it will be hard to release it.


Turning the steering wheel to the right releases it  enough to allow the 
key to turn the cylinger but  sometimes it takes a heavy hand.  Because of 
a problem with her right hand my wife cannot  manage to do this at times.


I have a junk lock and have taken it apart so  that I can see how it works 
and have concluded that there are several parts that could  cause the 
system to bind.


Is there any one part that usually causes this?

I'm wondering about cutting off the end of the sliding or taking it out.

I would rather fix it.

I would appreciate any ideas

[MBZ] Oil Leak Location Advice

[Vernon Ritchey]

On my '79 300 TD (617 non turbo) there is a constant oil film on the front of 
the engine and also on the alternator.  What is/are the likel;y causes, front 
main seal?

Also on this engine, it doesn't die if I pulg the crankcase vent, indicating a 
significant amount of blow-by is escaping somewhere.  Somewhere not obvious to 
me.  Could this also be the front main seal?

Re: [MBZ] Katrina Victim Victimizes Own Mercedes

[Vernon Ritchey]

If he needs professional help, he can contact Bill T. at C&B Automotive on 
Chicago Ave in Ft Walton Beach or Gene Hunter AKA Dr. Benz.  Also in Ft Walton 
Beach.  Bill fixed my lock cylinder failure about 10 years ago but it cost 
several hunderd $.

There is also an active MBCA group in that area that may have some ideas.  Bill 
Vickery is the pres and Daryl Bittle is the number 2.

Technical:  Did the same key operate the doors and ignition before?  If so and 
it works everthing but the ignition, he may have a bad lock (odd coincidence) 
or the steering wheel lock bar is sticking.  Did he have any problems with a 
sticky lock before?  Seems we neen more info here.

  Anyway, they are safe in Destin FL BUT he lost the ignition key on the

...sorry for the typo. That key fits doors, etc but does NOT operate the 
ignition.

  Are any of you near Destin and perhaps available to help fix him up?

[MBZ] Opinions on 1989 300TE

[Vernon Ritchey]

I am seeking recommendations on a possible purchase.

I have an opportunity to buy a 1989 300 TE.  It has about 130K miles with about 
25K on the engine since rebuild (new commercial short block and head rebuilt). 
Many other critical parts are almost new. Initial inspection and dialog with 
owner leads me to believe this car is in excellent condition.  It is overpriced 
according to NADA and Edmunds but I suspect the condition justifies the price.

I am familiar with 123 and 126 diesels but don't know much about 124s or 
gassers.  So I'm lookin for input on the desirability of this car.  
Knowkedgable opinions on the 124 wagon and the 3L gasser motor would be greatly 
appreciated.  Thanks

I still don't think it is going to be "unsafe" to drive it without the
stabilizer bar. The description given of the control arms mounting to the
body and the stabilizer connecting between them is no different than the
majority of vehicles on the street. The stabilizer bar acts as a sort of
torsion bar to connect the two sides together and improve handling. It
efectively reduces the lean over factor but not much else. I would guess
that removing it might even improve the ride somewhat as then you truly 
have

independent front suspension so one side should not affect the other. It
will affect handling but not to any extreme and ought not to be unsafe if
the rest of the vehicle is intact. I can't see the idea of overextending a
shock and ripping off a control arm. That is extreme. There is likely a 
bump

stop of some sort in the suspension somewhere to avoid overextending the
shocks and if the body is bad enough that one fears the loss of a control
arm then it is time to put the vehicle out to pasture.

Lots of older vehicles didn't have stabilizer bars. Offroaders routinely
disconnect them in order to keep their tires in contact with the terrain 
in

rough country.

There is something you don't know about. The stabilizer holds the upper
control arms in place. Danger Will Robinson, do NOT drive it like that!


It doesn't hold them in place, it links them together in an attempt to
improve
handling characteristics and reduce body roll in turns.  The UCAs are
mounted to
and pivot at the body on one end, while the other end is connected to the
steering knuckle, the bottom of which is mounted to the lower control arm
which
is held in place by the spring (whose other end is mounted to the chassis,
and
whose motions are damped by the shock absorber).  The LCA is stabilized at
the
rear by the caster joint.

While short-term I think the car would be drivable, long-term I think it
would
wear the suspension components quickly as they were forced to move more 
than

they should.  Worst-case, you over-extend a shock on one side, and ram the
UCA
of the other side through the inner fender (or rip the UCA from it's
mounting
point altogether).

So, not safe, but certainly doable.  I certainly wouldn't do it unless it
was
the only means to get myself and the car home, where the car would then be
parked until I either parted the car or repaired it - with a preference
towards
the former.

Re: [MBZ] Dial Indicator

[Vernon Ritchey]

I have used the dial indicator several times to set the front bearings on my 
123 and 126.  In my experience, you can feel the motion if the bearings are 
too lose when you push/pull on the wheel hub/disk.  You don't actually feel 
it move but you can feel it stop as the slack is taken out.  I find the dial 
indicator indicates the correct "play" just at the point I can no longer 
detect motion  when I "push/pull".  So now if I'm in a rush or away from my 
garage I adjust using that method ... tight enough when motion is not 
detectable by feel.

New perspective.  I live in Niceville, FL.  Maybe 30 miles from Dennis last 
week.  About 90% of the fuel for the region comes by barge and the storm 
really messed that up.  All local gas stations are out although a few get a

Re: [MBZ] HELP 300SDL ROTOR REMOVAL

[Vernon Ritchey]

To hold the assembly to unscrew the bolts holding the hub to the disk, I 
temporarily bolt the hub back on the wheel.  It's a lot easier to hold the 
wheel than the hub or disk.  Also, PB Blaster seems to help get those screws 
started.  I also put a but of blue locktite on them when I reassemble.  Make 
sure all mating surfaces are clean before assembling.

Please cross post to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  As I only get the digest.

Doing brakes on my car.

I cannot find a section in the damn CD manual.

I've got caliper off.

Do I have to remoce the hub to remove the rotor?  Oh S&%t, I have no
new seals.

Please confirm or repute.

Regards
