They are made in china, have a Mercedes part number on the cases, but have an audi logo on the filters. Bizarre. More bizarre: the EPC lists OM615, OM616, OM601, OM602 and OM603 as applications for this filter, but not OM617. I'm not sure why... can't see why it would not work on an OM607...maybe the ones with the 90 degree elbow is specified for the OM617...? Anyway, I have them on ebay for $5.00 for a box of 5, plus $5.00 sh. Buy a couple boxes to make the shipping worthwhile ($1 added to SH for each additional box) and be set forever.

Re: [MBZ] OT New BMW Diesels
Diesels are evil and will kill everyone with their belching pollution. And they will cause the global temperature to spike another ten degrees easily. I'm not sure if they are more eevil than SUVs, but they are in the same category and must be completely banned. --R ned kleinhenz wrote: I wish we could buy these economical3 series diesel models in the US: http://www.sae.org/mags/AEI/6660 4.5 l/100km corresponds to about 52 mpg.

Re: [MBZ] hp
The change was in the early 70's, and GM grossly over-estimated hp before that. Ford and Chrysler weren't much better, but GM was the worst (no alternator, no oil pump, no water pump, etc). Actually, 300 hp from 327 ci isn't all that good anyway -- my 72 280 SE gets 232 hp from 276 ci, after all, and the 3.5L M117 got the same hp from 215 ci. And that's as installed, with all accessories including tranny. Not to say the 327 was a slug by any means, but not record output per cubic inch!

Re: [MBZ] Door Won't Close
The door latch has been triggered with the door open. The latch sort of rotates over and will not pop back up by itself when you operate the release (either inside or outside). To fix it, hold the release open and use a large screwdriver to flip the latch lever open (it closes over a round bar, and opens when you pull on the door). May be a bit stiff, in which case it needs shot of white lithium grease into the mechanism (but NOT the pin that goes into the tapered socked on the body, it will stick terribly!). What happened was that the door was pulled almost closed and then pushed open without using the release, allowing the latch to close. This happens most often when the mechanism is binding from lack of lubrication, otherwise it would have latched. Poor lubrication will also cause the door to bounce rather than latch, too.

I learned to drive in the parental units' 66 Pontiac Bonneville, 389 4bbl. Stomping the pedal on that thing would push you into the back seat and lay a coupla strips of rubber as far as you wanted. Of course it wallowed like a pig, had no steering to speak of, was big and heavy, but did it sound good and make you feel good. The 64 Pontiac I got to drive mostly was very similar, also a 389, but not quite as beastly. --R Rick Knoble wrote: The change was in the early 70's, and GM grossly over-estimated hp before that. 1972 I believe.
