I used eat as a figurative term. Age, oxidation, and exposure to
deleterious compounds are the main causes of o-ring and seal failure
(breakdown of polymer chains). Technically, these parts don't fail they
simply suffer from breakdown of the polymer chains. This leads to the

I found a cracked/broken/split hose on my 1990 350SDL I'm tiring to get a
replacement for. It runs from the front of the turbo assy to what looks
like an air solenoid sitting directly below the EGR valve, in an L shape, 3

Actually, the AKP-Wagen was sold. What I am getting at, as you intuited, is
biodiesel use, but in the 300SD and 300TD, not the sold W115 240D. I'm
assuming, then, that pumps on a 617 and 603 are mechanically governed and not
vacuum goverened? I do understand the difference in how they are

My new hood/heat pad arrived today and I spent most of 2 hours trying to
get the remains of the old pad off so I can glue the new one into place.
While much of the foam is gone now, there's still some adhesive left, as
well as some very short, hard foam.
Is there something that'll take the

One of the reasons for using M1 ATF (or Amsoil in my case) is to
reduce friction/wear. So theoretically there should be considerably
less particles in the fluid. They both make claims of extended
