This is follow up to
this thread.
I have few questions that i was hoping you guys can answer for me:
1. One of the wheels has slights discoloration, is this normal? (See pix)
Try rubbing it out with something like Mequairers scratchX
2. Rust i see in the engine (belt poleys) is pretty much normal due to steel parts? (See pix)
Pretty normal for cars that have been living where salt is used
3. The only actual rust i found is under rear license plate and around trunk latch, is this a concern and if so what do i do? (See pix)
Best to have this area de-rusted by someone. when you see a little rust like this, its like the tip of an iceberg in many cases. A lot hidden underneath. A thorough examination of all the areas prone for rust should be done, including the underside.
4. I see some condescension inside of the both head lights, it comes and goes , don't stay put. Could be from weather and me washing it with hot water in cold (55f) garage. Normal or should i be concerned? (See pix)
Possibly that might be the cause, but in the mean time check to see if there are holes in back of the headlights, near where the channel of the inside of the fender leads to the headlight. Sometimes these vent plugs are gone, and moisture just runs down the fender channel and into the headlight.
5. I heard something about car seats heaters going bad and something with ignition switch going bad, should this be replaced/modified now or wait till it actually breaks?
Don't fix anything thats not broken in this case.
6. I'm a big guy, does seat automatically stops when you move it back? I can press it but i feel like its going to crush something and i definitely don't want to crush anything.
You basically won't crush anything except the back of the seat. Its best to leave a small amount of space so there is no tension in the seat mechanics.
7. Vehicle had trainy flush and radiator flush when previous owner bought it in 2010, since then he put on 6k miles on it. He changed oil last full before putting her to rest for the winter. Break fluid or anything else is all original. Should i replace any fluids at this time?
If you have actual documentation that the proper procedures and MB spec transmission and radiator fluid was used, you should be good to go with them. Documentation or proof that the proper oil and oil filter was used would be great, or you would be best to change the oil with Mobil 1, 0-40 and a "fleece" filter.
8. What does MDH number mean on my door sticker with my Vin#?
??? I'll wait for an answer for this..
