Re: [MBZ] Help with Shop Manual CD
Wray, I have here the hole CD-WIS set running under Linux/Fedora 6.0 with Firefox 2.0 and no Flash, only the superb Steve Nervig's Library files. No deps to fill, no fancy animated menus, only the essential and i'm happy with that. Best regards, RSalles Wray Stanley wrote: I have had an official Model 124 Service Manual Library on CD for about 8 years. It's recently become almost impossible to use with my current XP computer with latest updates. Among other problems, the version of Netscape it wants to use and the current version of Adobe won't talk to each other. I now have to resort to searching though all the files with windows explorer until I trip upon what I am looking for. Anyway, a few years ago, someone on one of these lists gave me a macro type program that would index, list and open exaclty the file I was looking for without going through all those lame graphics the CD tries to use. That program was on a hard disk that failed, some time ago, and I sure miss it. Does anyone know what I am talking about? Can anyone share such a program with me?

[MBZ] OT microsoft exhange server
Kaleb, Well, there are masochists everywhere around the world, even here, don't ask... When you ask for a email program i think in a email client software, am i right? Try sylpheed-claws or Firebird (i use both) and you'll not be disapointed. Best regards, RSalles Kaleb wrote: Our company started using microsoft exhange for our email. I hate it.

Re: [MBZ] Parts Database
Peter, 600 parts for ONE car? Could you post more details about the year/model and, maybe, send me a parts list copy?

I maintain mine on Excel but its becoming a bit overwhelming with some 600parts listed I have purchased with Price history and inventory levels.

[MBZ] Fuel pressure regulator hose
Gens, I have found a fuel pressure regulator hose nearly broken, and it drops a very few amount of fuel too. The car is a 300E/91 and the fuel pressure regulator itself it's a US$ 450,00 parts price! How can i replace only this leaking hose? Thanks, RSalles
Re: [MBZ] [MB] Was: Please help me to find another maillist
Dave, Very nice advice, i'll check it out and post the feedback in this maillist. Thank you all that helped me with this, RSalles Original message: OK Don wrote: The Bosch Fuel Injection and Enigine Management book by Probst (http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-Fuel-Injection-Engine-Management/dp/0837603005/sr=8-1/qid=1164721835/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-4223530-6188429?ie=UTF8s=books) is good - and will help you understand what parts are for what. You will need the tools that David listed as well. That's an excellent book. This is actually a pretty simple fuel injection system, so don't let it intimidate you. I think the key things to remember are: 1. Do all the normal ignition tune up stuff before you try to troubleshoot the fuel injection. Spark plugs, wires, distributor cap. Also replace all the vacuum hoses if they're old and cracked. Make sure the valves are adjusted right if your engine doesn't have hydraulic valve lifters. 2. Test, *then* adjust. Never touch any adjustment without verifying the components are good, first. For example, trying to adjust the base mixture when the real problem is incorrect fuel pressure will only make the car run worse. When people get into trouble with K-Jetronic, it's usually because they try to compensate for some other problem by tweaking it a little. 3. If something really *is* off, don't be afraid to fix it. For example, if the book says the airflow sensor plate needs to be centered, and yours isn't, center it. Small stuff can make a big difference in the way this system runs, and almost all of the possible repairs are simple. Idle problems, in particular, often don't have any one cause. For example, I had an idle problem on my VW Cabriolet, and there was no one thing I did that fixed it. It gradually got better as I went through the whole system and set everything right. This can be kind of frustrating, but it's also satisfying when you finally get it. Very few indys work on K-Jet much anymore. With a little effort you'll probably have a better grasp of how it works than your mechanic does, and you'll save yourself a bundle on diagnostic fees. --
Re: [MBZ] [MB] Please help me to find another maillist
Gents, Two a week ago i had addressed to the mercedeslist.com forum a very simple question about a problem with the Ke-jetronic system in my W124/300E - 91 and received a very small feedback, near nothing. Maybe i'm asking at the wrong place - never knows, but i would like to ask to this gentlemen maillist subscribers if anybody knows a specific maillist about Bosch Ke-jetronic ignition systems, where maybe i can get some help to get rid off the ignition issues i'm facing with this car. Thank you all, RSalles Original message: Hello, My 300E/91 has a very strange problem, after a month or so coming back from the indy: a) Cold or warm, the rpm rises to 1300/1400 rpm by 12 sec., and after that the rpm returns to normal cycle (750rpm). b) Un-pluging a two-wire connector at the idle control valve this symptom stops: no high rpm is observed when the motor is warm. c) Is the auxiliary air valve different than the idle air control valve, or two different names for the same part number? d) Where could the fault be: 1- In a thermo-time switch (must be replaced to be sure?) Where exactly is it in the M103? 2- The fault could be in the ECU? How can it be tested only for this problem? Too many questions, and too basic also, but a really DIY'fer must start with something :) A helping hand would be very appreciated, mostly by the lack of Indy's around my town. TIA, RSalles
