Re: CLK550/E550 hunt for Adam
- I think it needs a thermostat. It struggled to get above 180 and mostly was below that. These use a modern/fancy style that is somewhat electronically controlled. I found the expensive thing. Those are $150 as they come with a sensor/electronic fitting and the metal housing. https://www.fcpeuro.c...

Re: CLK550/E550 hunt for Adam
I believe the car has an open recall anyways based on the CarFax, so it already needs to go to the dealer.

Re: CLK550/E550 hunt for Adam
As the coolant does look terrible anyways, I'll probably do just the coolant now. I'll order the cooler anyways as it'll likely need one eventually and when it does do the coolant again.

Re: CLK550/E550 hunt for Adam
Awesome. In case anyone is confused, I'm "out of the area" for work. Due to some of the challenges with shipping, it didn't work out to get this car delivered between work trips, so Kevin kindly stepped in and accepted delivery of the vehicle. About that shipping - apparently I had several...

Re: External HD vs. Thumb Drive vs. Casting
I solved my "play old digital files" problem by installing a server, a RAID enclosure and Plex Media Server. Now my Roku can steam stuff to the living room TV, any Android device with the Plex app or any computer with a web browser. That's hardly a practical solution, thought. You can get ...

Re: 1993 JCB 217S Turbo
I rebuilt a Garrett turbo on a Saab once. It came apart ok, which was helpful, probably due to decades of oil leaks. Internals look similar to the JCB unit.
