True.  Then he broke a D8T radiator and took the rest of the week off.

How did he break a radiator? Just hook the hoist to the core and not stop until it was out?

Pulled it, had it hanging by a chain in the wash bay, didn’t bother tilting the forks back and pushed it off with the water.

Wow.

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?

Where are the pumps mounted?

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?

Not necessarily. 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.

Main pumps mounted to the trans with a brake cooling gear pump mounted to the 6.7 ltr Cummins. I think you’re onto something with the pump seal being bad and sucking air and engine oil into it.

"Jimmy doesn't know where the oil goes" was my first guess as well.

It's amazing how often we find DEF in the cooling system, two systems that don't overlap in any way (but the caps are 6" apart)

There’s a service bulletin. Had to call my old coworker to get the low down since I don’t work for that brand anymore. Turns out the seal in the pump goes to shit and indeed does suck engine oil into the tank.

Fun times.

Ordering a new pump and filters. Scheduling everything for next week.

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.

"At this time the recall has not been launched. 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.

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.

COC addendum? So, is it in the COC officially, or is it just something I'm supposed to know, or do we just find out after the political officer sends us off?

NM. Re-read the coc. I'm guessing we don't get to find out till we find out. Nothing to see here, move along, move along.

On most of the machinery I’ve seen 15w-40 is acceptable in the hyd system as long as it’s a warmer climate. Not a big fan of black, sooted up engine oil in the hydraulics though. It’ll be easy to see on the stick or in the sight glass though.

I get it. It’ll work but I like doing it right and the black hydraulic oil looks cool but will probably tear something  up eventually.

I doubt it. If it doesn’t hurt an engine then it should hurt the hydraulic system. The sooty particulates will probably get mostly filtered out eventually since you’re not creating more of them in the hyd system.

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.

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.

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.

They’ve already tried pushing it. Whatever’s going on has the parking brake on with the switch off. I’ll deal with it tomorrow. I’m resigned to pulling the axels to move it.
