Re: [MBZ] runaway 300SDL, diesels CAN smoke the tires
Hate it when that happens. bill s So Regina calls and says that the SDL all the sudden started accelerating out of control. So I head back to check out the situation. Apparantly the linkage to the IP broke(looks like plastic) and stuck the IP to full open throttle. I mean FULL open. So I start it up, slam it into reverse as quick as I can before it revs up too high, BAMM, smoking tires, then to drive, smokes the tires for a block or 2 it seems. Anyways, got it home, shut off engine as I was turning into driveway. By the time I got back home(only a couple of miles) brakes sure were smoking from trying to bring the speed down. Next I will try some JB weld or something to fix that linkage. Hope I dont have to pull the manifold. -- Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] 1987 300SDL & cool down
My manual (94S350) states 1 minuet cool down mandatory even if you are working on it in the garage. They spin at over 100k rpm & you want to remove lube & cooling oil. Bad juju. bill s Christopher McCann <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To .com> Mercedes mailing list Sent by: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mercedes-bounces@ cc striplin.net Subject Re: [MBZ] 1987 300SDL & cool down 09/23/2005 05:18 PM Please respond to Mercedes mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED] n.net> I asked Marshall about this a while ago. cool downs are for gas engines with turbos as they get much hotter. Only on a long trip, hot weather, etc would a little cool down be recommneded IF using dino oil. If using synthetic (say Mobil 1 :-) ), it will never cook off, so no cool downs necessary.

Ned, FINALLY!! Someone who sees my point of view and has"been there, done that" as far as insurance goes. Really unfair to the small businessman. Another insurance rip off I found out about while talking to my agent the other day about auto insurance is the fact that your auto insurance rates are partly based on your credit history. Agent states that "because of studies that say people with a lower credit rating have a higher accident record" they can get away with this. I don't have credit, nor do i want it.I pay CASH and get SCREWED EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND Pretty sad when I have to pay more for insurance because I have never financed anything through a bank! By the way, i have NO tickets on my insurance record and NO accidents either but yet a friend of mine pays the same amount for insurance as I(for the exact same coverage) after having several speeding tickets and 3 DUI's..The agents explanation"he has a better credit rating than you". Might as well burn all of my cash now and get a bank loan so I can pay lots of interest on money that I would have in my pocket if I weren't paying loan payments. THEN, maybe I could get a fair price The small businessman hardly has a chance in this credit based economy without credit. Hard to run a cash business.

Replaced the condenser and compressor, both only lasted 472,000 miles. Interesting that the Delco Morraine OE unit only lasted 472,000 miles, same unit as used on new GM products in the 80´s. The blower motor works at all three speeds, the button for the automatic temp control system works. The temp control wheel works OK. The problem is when the air flow is slow or non exitant. Driving on the open road with a constant air flow the air conditioning works all day long, the problem is when the air flow is cut down, stopped, in traffic, or when you really need the air. The engine temp is consistent at 80C, never a under the hood temp too high, only when stopped or low air flow. When the temp goes up the electric fan kicks in at the appropriate temp. The mystery is why only does the blower quit working when the air flow is low or non existent?
