I figured it was an injector because it didn't change rpm when I unplugged it. Did a cutout test and it said it was still metering. Will be the 3rd engine in 2400 hours for this thing. Throw away 3.3B but still. |

Anyone have any theories on why there’s engine oil in the hydraulic system?

I'd almost think the hydraulic would end up in the engine since the pumps would produce more pressure than the engine oil pump would. Maybe a rear main in a wet flywheel housing getting scavenged back into the hydros? |

Had a 330c a few weeks ago, engine mounted fan pump(gear type) that was aerating the hyd oil. Pump shaft seal was leaking and sucking air out of crankcase. If it was a cane or piston pump you’d probably be right. |

2018 c300 coupe 2wd the driveshaft has sheared in half on the large tube section in front. Pretty darn interesting, I haven't seen that one before.
We are gearing up for the 300K recall of 164 and 251 models because somebody thought it necessary to put a big ass rubber band around the circumference of the brake booster. It rusts under the band and I guess they have seen some separate. Its a "stop drive" recall and benz will pay to tow it to your house and leave it there until things go live. I am not certain there is much of a solution, and I'm guessing they are going to follow volkswagen again and just buy a bunch of them back. My W211 decided that the $300 I spent on it two weeks ago wasn't enough, and it is demanding a glow module and auxillary battery for another $300. The stupid truck has a brake pull so I suppose it wants front calipers and hoses now. |

When the recall is launched and instructions have been provided to authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships, affected vehicles will be inspected as a first step. After this inspection, the vehicle will be given 1 of 3 statuses. i. Inspected with no corrosion: The rubber sleeve will be removed. The vehicle can be driven with no further action or follow-up required. ii. Inspected with advanced corrosion found: A brake efficacy test will be performed. A passed test ensures the tested brake booster can continue to be used and the vehicle driven up to a maximum of 2 years. A new notice will be provided at a later date to bring the vehicle to an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership for further inspection and potential replacement of the brake booster. iii. Inspected with advanced corrosion and brake efficacy test does not pass: The vehicle will require the brake booster housing to be replaced when parts are available. Until then, the vehicle MUST NOT be driven." I started at Benz in 2006, same year as the 164 came out. I have never seen a booster rust through, seems like you would lose vacuum long before it launched the front half? Sounds like we'll have a bunch of Status 1 and Status 2, diagnosed on a mobile repair and loaner/rental denied. Call us back in 2 years and we'll check it again. The new SBC debacle. |

Look through that addendum and take an educated guess as to which one got him. That addendum has some pretty tone-deaf rules, especially considering all of the conversations and responses last year about transparency. Back to wrenches. I’m going to change a turn signal bulb in my own car today. |

Another tech went out to wrap up my lack of power job on that m11 with the shit fuel. He changed the intake gasket and turbo piping and it’s still falling on its face. They’re sending another tech with the actual fuel pressure gauges to check it. I don’t feel so bad because it’s behind my skill level, just frustrated that I’m not there to learn this.
I’m going back out for the engine oil in the hydraulic oil tomorrow. Should be fairly straightforward, change the little pump, dump the oil and refill it. Per the customer. Ideally I’d like to refill hydraulic oil, dump it after it dilutes the residual jn the cylinders and such then change it. But it’s his equipment. |

If it doesn’t hurt an engine then it should hurt the hydraulic system.

Dozer straight died in trash right before close. Threw these.
Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Also, same code for trans solenoids 4&5. I’m assuming a piece of trash buggered a wiring harness, rather than all 5 trans solenoids failing with the oil sensor. Boss called Fabick, their maintenance boss said that the tech could override the codes with his computer to move it out of trash in the morning, but I have a feeling that the tech and I will be pulling axles and pushing it out before we start working. |

View Quote It’s dead Jim. Not going anywhere under its own power with those trans codes active. May be able to push it in idle with the park brake off but that’s it. There’s only about 3-4 ft of wire between the trans ecm and the trans plug so it shouldn’t be too bad to find. There’s a 12 pin connector about a foot from the transmission connector that’s bad about getting moisture in it over time. It’s right on top of the trans case and buried in landfill poo usually so idk why. |
