Re: [MBZ] OT tires

I do have to say that I checked Vredestein for her car and they are about the same price. Also much better rated in snow than the ones I was looking at, and that is a prime consideration. We don't get a ton of snow here but one of her complaints about the OE tires was they were bad in the snow s

Re: [MBZ] Picked up the beater GL320

According to the Mercedes Medic website the problem with the M273 "450" engines is problems with worn guide idler gear. As I understand it, a V8 is inherently balanced and doesn't need the balance shaft, so different problem but similar consequences and difficulty of repair. https://www.mercede

Re: [MBZ] Picked up the beater GL320

Yea that’s what it is. You can look up the vin to get the engine number to see if it’s in the affected range. I will probably do that just to see. If I could find the parts to fix the 320 cheap enough might be worth seeing if the 450 can be saved. Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 28, 2023, at 5:0

So the 450s also had these issues like the 350s?  That problem was the gear on the balance shaft just wore out.  I knew there was something but not sure what. Interesting --FT On 1/28/23 4:59 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: PS is it balance shaft gears or timing chains or whatever is i

No, that was the wife's car, VW Jetta. But with tire prices that high, I'm guessing the tires on the Focus are worth more than the rest of the corpse. On Sat, Jan 28, 2023, at 17:10, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: > That is the cost for tires on a focus? Wow! > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On

[MBZ] OT tires

Just got a quote for tires for wife's car. $775 out the door mounted balanced lifetime free repair and rotation. This is for mid-tier nice-ish all-season tires. At these prices the tires on the Focus (which are all good -- about the only good thing on the car) are worth more than the rest of th

PS is it balance shaft gears or timing chains or whatever is involved in the balance shaft issues. I think all the 450s had that problem till about 2008 or 2009. Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 28, 2023, at 3:50 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > The 450 has no transmission, no key,

Re: [MBZ] Picked up the beater GL320

The 450 has no transmission, no key, and no title but had good body and interior. The 320 needs front bumper supports, bumper, and hood. Will also need a radiator and intercooler. Yes these are 722.9. Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 28, 2023, at 3:46 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > wrote: > >

Re: [MBZ] Picked up the beater GL320

So which car has the missing tranny/Tcase?  The 320 or the 450? If you swap transmissions you need to get the conductor plate reprogrammed if these are 722.9s  Not a big deal but will cost you some $$$ What goes bad on the 450s?  I've read something about them but can't remember --FT On 1/2

The lights are a common problem with the hydraulic suspension and stability controls though it doesn't look slammed so that is a plus.  These can be difficult issues to resolve (ask me how I know!) or it could be something simple.  In any case not good on a $12k car.  94 had degradable wiring i
