[diesel_mercedes] Re: Coolant running out of 116

 

Nate:

Been too hot here this last week to do anything outside. But have been thinking about air not coming out of the center vent. When I was doing the bypass on the heater hose, I was all over and around the servo box and I thought that I should take at look. Sure enough, one of the vac lines under the box was disconnected. Put it back together and guess what, AIR COMES OUT THE CENTER VENT. Thanks for all the help. Tom.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] V-A-C-A-TION !

 

I will be in that area tomorrow afternoon since I am picking up a 2014 beetle TDI convertible and driving it back up to Oregon with my niece. Hopefully, the weather will be cool enough to enjoy a little bit of open air motoring.

SWMBO and I hit the road in the clapped out 1982 240D automatic as we're in the middle of a heat wave and this is the only vehicle I have with working AC at the moment .

I filled it up this afternoon and was pleased to see it got 26.6 MPG in spite of only 200 # compression in # 1 cylinder and needing to go up steeper hills in third gear @ 38 ~ 40 MPH (AC on) .

It's been running consistently @ 90 ~ 100 * C , it cools right off to 80* C or less when I idle it for any amount of time .

The " TRANS-X " snake oil I added last fall is still doing it's <magic> ~ no ATF loss  and the shifting is *perfect* .

The driver's seat spring is broken and collapsing , this gave my sciatic nerve a wallop so I had to stop and walk around a few times , took 500  Mg of Ibuprofen mid way through the day .

As usual , this worthless totally worn out old Automobile chugs happily along , I down shift manually and go easy on the revs going up hills ~ I'm sure I could flog it to 50 MPH on the hills but why ? .

My Lady is enjoying the drive , we came up I5 to SR 166 West to SR101 to avoid all the smoke and fires around Sta. Barbara , I think I'll go across SR58 through Bakersfield to - morrow when we head home .

Did I ever mention how much I love this old Junk Yard refugee ? .

Sounds like a nice little drive.

Are you going to pick up a pool noodle to stuff under the seat? they work OK, until you can replace the springs from a nice passenger seat.

We'll be heading up that way (SLO) later in the summer.

Sounds like Rn knows me well ~

As soon as we secured a Motel room we headed off to the .99 CENTS Store and bought supplies , I looked but didn't see any pool noodles , they usually have them .

When I take the seat apart to replace the broken lower spring , I plan to add at least one pool noodle to make this a one time permanent fix .

Maybe add two , one in the center for really good support .

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Sunrise

 

I was up at 4 this morning. Cloudy, no sunrise but very light. When we go to the drive in in June and there is two long movies, its getting light and the birds are singing when we get home. I am glad we are not further north, this is far enough, I like the dark once in a while.Of course, winter is the opposite, dark by 4;30. It all works out. Max

It's about 06:30 hear I *think* Max .

I used to be up and out 7 days the week @ 04:30 but this retirement thing is making me lazy ~ I often stay abed until 07:00 now .

Before sunrise up here is very early, around 3:30 I 'm thinking this time of year. We are further north than eastern Canada. Max
