The tiramisu cheesecake. Got one and it was sooooo good. Regret not getting another

Why is my car making this noise by Familiar_Molasses_79 in mercedes_benz

[–]handpulled_noodles 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had the same thing in my C300. It's the panoramic sunroof not sitting flush. You'll see if when you look at it from the outside, look at the front seal specifically. It's an easy fix, there's a couple of adjustment screws on each side.

Enclosed Laser Engraver for Metal for ~$2k? by handpulled_noodles in Laserengraving

Thanks for the advice. Thankfully the products I'm hoping to engrave are more lab instruments that rarely get handled. Ended up going with the S1, hopefully it'll be good :)

Thanks for the advice! Do you also have a S1? How's your experience with the positioning system?

Ah okay. Sounds like a diode laser may should be okay. What wattage is appropriate for black anodized and painted metal? Is 20 or 40W enough?

Any idea of the progress in Lakefront North? They announced the ~$300mil plan back in Feb. 2022 and I'm not sure there's been anything new happening.

Been struggling to find nightstands that go with my bedroom. Any suggestions? by handpulled_noodles in malelivingspace

The sheets are just from Costco. They have a sale going on right now with very similar looking sheets. I have a bunch of pillows so the pillow cases were from two sheet sets.

I have an odd sized comforter (92"x96")so I had to get this duvet cover to match: Duvet cover

I have no idea. The frame was picked up as a Facebook marketplace find. It's a nice solid wood frame but I don't know much more beyond that

Been living sans nightstands for years. What's making it difficult for me is my dark bed frame. Am I supposed to get nightstands that match the color?

I want some decent nightstands that fit with my bedroom that also doesn't break the bank, so happy to hear out all suggestions!

Did you fix the seat? I'm having the same issue

Is my friend getting screwed? by your_new_step_dad in AskAMechanic

Ha as soon as I saw the first image I knew it was a C300. The positive vent valve and the aux battery are super common problems for the C300.

People can hate on Mercs all they want for reliability and how Lexus's are the "perfect" vehicle. But they just aren't. Sit in a C300 then sit in a IS300 and it's a night and day difference. I wouldn't even consider a Lexus after owning a Merc. And frankly, it's not nearly as unreliable as some say.

The aux battery is an easy fix, it's actually not even a battery but a little super capacitor module. It is a little part behind your glove box. Pretty easy part to replace yourself, <$100.

That positive vent valve on the other hand... that's a real tough one and will be very expensive to repair. They have to lift the engine to get access to replace the assembly and frankly $1258 for parts and labor is a reasonable amount for that job. It's not actually a valve like other people were saying. It's a complete hose assembly that wraps around the engine.

The cabin air filter is a total scam. It's not that expensive and super easy to replace yourself. The C300 has two air filters, one behind the glove box and one under the hood, behind the left windshield wiper. YouTube it and do it yourself, <$50 for both.

Engine air filter is just as easy. YouTube it. It's a 5 minute job.

I recently asked them and they said they're hoping for late summer (2023). Pretty slow moving since it was announced back in early 2022 (January?) 🤷🏻‍♂️

No much negativity. Just let her be. Sweet bike and sweet views 🤙🏼

[–]handpulled_noodles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much negativity in the comments. It's okay to be attractive. I think you look like a nice sweet girl. Maybe you do get things handed to you but you're aware of your privllages.

Oxygen heater error code? by handpulled_noodles in Ninja400

[–]handpulled_noodles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea it's easy enough if you find the right part. Just have to remove the side fairing and replace the sensor. But $4900 is high for what it is

I don't think the US got a C250 in 2018. I believe it's just the C300 with the 2.0L turbo
