That more or less depends on the dealer. Our local dealer is very pleasant....and always willing to help out.

Soon we will be getting post similar to this:

"Oh! my boy friend is so glad over me discovering this site. My recent sexual activity has been proving disappointing to say the least. He thinks I have a lubricant deficiency but I think my problem seems to lie more with ignition. My spark just isn't what it used to be. Strokes seen shorter and less rapid, especially off the line when I need it the most. Top end is simply non-existent.

Please help.

I am reluctant to pass the Peach Parts forum site to someone new to Mercedes. You have to explain to them your serious and then the reason why. The daily posts have gone down. The members should vote on new name for the site.

Let it go already!!
A "vote" isn't going to do a thing.
I met some newer members at our last GTG down this way. They came on board after the "Peach Parts" name change, so that is all they really knew. They seemed to do just fine.
Sure, we hate the name, but it isn't our site. We have no monetary investment in the thing.
Why not go worry about what type of oil folks are using.......

Realizing that this is an old thread, I think your minds are in the gutter. I've only known it as Peach Parts, the sexual implications never occurred to me. To tell you the truth I just assumed they were based in Georgia!
I mean, I'm not saying it's a good name or anything but certainly not one I'd ever be too embarrassed about to not pass it on to someone else.

I found this site just fine. And I dont have a problem with the name. Just makes it sound like it's based in Georgia.

If the name of the site, instead of the quality of the forum remarks, is what deters you from joining or participating, I think that's good.

I prefer substance.

Unhappy people can go to another forum that's more "manly."

How about Diesel Giant? Or Schuman's?

See ya, don't let the screen door etc etc etc.

I found the forum fine as well... Sites have weird names all the time, so I didn't think twice about "Peach parts". It might make a difference to uh... "older folks" who expect things to be named for what they are, but with cybersquatting and ISP, registrants and companies buying up all the "good" names, it's harder than you think to get a decent site name.

Personally, I think it's better to go for something original than to try to shoehorn a domain name together...

Unless stated otherwise, any question I ask is about my greymarket 1985 380SEL.

Hi all,

Bought a 95 e320 in mint condition last week. Just about everything works except the a/c.

A little history on it:

previous owner states she replaced the compressor last year. A/C worked for a few months, then she garaged the car for the summer, and the a/c stopped working when she started driving again in october.

When I got the car, the compressor would work for 1~3 minutes in the morning. Then the fan would just blow regular air.

I took it to a garage that does a/c service and had them charge the freon. They verified that the vacuum is still good and that there were no leaks (pressure was good, they said).

The charge did not help. Still blowing regular air.

So i took it to another place, an auto shop that specilizes in electric and a/c. These folks traced the problem to a compressor relay that was not turning on the compressor. So i had the part replaced.

The a/c worked for 3 minutes. Then it stopped again.

After 3 hours of troubleshooting, it's getting dark. So the a/c specialist gave up and asked me to come back tomorrow.

They ended up not charging me the $140 they wanted to troubleshoot and fix the problem.

So i was driving the car back, and i turn on the radio. The radio display works, but no sound came out. And the minute I turn on the radio, the buckle-up sign came on instantly, along with the interior lighting next to the buckle-up sign.

The radio eventually came back on and the buckle-up sign went away. But that really gave me a scare.

The other funny thing was, the driver side window's 1-touch open function failed as well. But resumed working after a few repeated tries.

Any ideas?

I've so far had the compressor replaced, charged the freon, and replaced the compressor relay. The mechanic told me they've confirmed the thermostate working, along with a few other a/c parts that they confirmed weren't the issue.

I'm a bit weary about bringing the car back to this auto electric place and thinking maybe i should just bite the bullet and send it to the dealership to have it looked at.

Any suggestions are most welcome!!

Theo

This forum was formed by two guys. Bill and Donny a while ago. I met both of them when they opened a shop about 10 miles from me. Both are from Georgia the (Peach State). That could be the reason for the name.

I joined PeachParts. Never thought twice about the name.

If you recall... the site was orginially called MercedesShop.com. Mercedes came after the site owners and forced them to change the name.
