Didn't think about that - guess I'll have to got with the luck of the draw there. It is a pretty unlikely thing, but you never know. Guess I should have used some of my Delvac instead. BillR

Marshall suggested a quart of motor oil every so often. I do it twice a year spring and fall to add some lubrication. Seems like the engine runs quite a bit quieter when I'm using it. I've maybe got a line on some SVO for $1.50 a gallon. I figure even if I'm only mixing 25% I'll be saving alot of cash vs $4.19 diesel. If I blow the engine I blow the engine and get a 35mpg gas car and still save money. -Curt Date: Sun, 30 Mar 2008 20:17:04 -0400 From: "Bill R" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Singletons.....and a picture To: "'Mercedes Discussion List'" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" You are correct in assuming it is the car. Does raise some interesting [!] possibilities, though. I think I put too much cleaner in the last tank of fuel as it was behaving quite badly. I thought the engine was going to pull a 'Chinese fire drill' at one stop. That pretty much cleared up for a time, but then the injector pump started making noise. Added a can of ATF [Castrol was on sale at FLAPS] and that seemed to quiet it down pretty much. I do seem to have a coolant leak though, and some shaking just above idle. I'll put a new thermostat in just in case and check out the leak. BillR --------------------------------- Special deal for Yahoo! users & friends - No Cost.
