No biggie, just make sure the trips in the SD count, meaning no shorty runs like you'll be doing with the 240D or if you do some short runs make sure theres a good long run to get everything warmed up and burn the condensation out of the engine. Keep the fuel tank topped off and maybe give it a shot of water remover every other month or something. Might have to change the oil a little more often but as Marshall says you won't know without analysis... Also nothing says you HAVE to take the 240D, you could take the SD a couple times a week if you wanted... -Curt Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2005 06:28:06 -0800 (PST) From: Christopher McCann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] AKP-Wagen conundrum...

Well, OK Don and Curt agree - beat the AKP-Wagen into the ground and keep the SD for Saturday errands, Sunday drives and road trips. No sense getting a gasser to beat on when I can beat on a 240D...I like the car, even though it's a heap - part of the charm, PLUS I use it as a learning tool. Not being to mechanically inclined, I do things to it I would not attempt on the SD or TD - like my upcoming valve adjustment. Looking forward to it. So I guess letting the SD sit during the week won't hurt it too much if it is driven on the weekend? THanks for the advice. Chris --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Looks good from the road, but they want $3k for it which I think is probably a bit high. Dad says if they'd take $1500 he'd go for it. I'm tempted to go offer $1500 and see if they'll bite, its been out there for a month now... -Curt Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2005 09:28:20 -0500 From: TimothyPilgrim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] VW origins (was Something fishy at Mercedes) To: Mercedes mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 My coworker has a Thing sitting in his driveway.
