They come with all sorts of boxes on top. Snow blowers, ambulances, Tow
vehicles, cranes, flatbeds, dumptrucks, hole diggers
Kinda like Tonka-Trucks for grownups.

I can only find 4-matics with gas engines in the charts. I'd love to get a
Diesel 4-matic. Do you know what years they produced them - or is this
something we missed out on in the US?
Thanks

I'm continuing to reassemble my S350 engine (603.971), and have noticed that
3 of the Valve Tappets have no springeyness in the underside rod that
contacts the valve stem. All the others do. Is this an indication that they
need replaced?
Thanks

You probably should not do that here either, but it is your choice...

Would you be able to tell from looking at the camshaft if you pulled
he valve cover?
If so, what are you looking for?

The 99 E-Class came standard with traction control (except 4-matic)
and shows Stability Control as an option on the E300 and E320.
Anyone know how to tell if a car has the Stability Control option by
looking at it?
Thanks

There is a brass bushing in the turbo (Garrett G3 - I think) on the
compressor side that I suspect could be the culprit, but that's only a
guess on my part.
And advice appreciated...
Oh yea, this is on my 94 S350. 182,000. miles.

Anyone know where I can get parts for a Garrett turbo?
