Just had to share this..

So, just got back from a local MB shop to see if they tested and balanced injectors. This place always has a ton of W123s around so I figured they'd have to, they also only work on MBs. Anyway, I asked at the desk if they tested and balanced diesel injectors. She went to ask then came back and asked me what engine and I said 616. Then a guy who I figure was in charge came out and asked me what engine and I said 616 and he said Mercedes didn't make a 616 but they made a 606. I said no it's a OM616.912 12 and I still just got a look like I was out of my mind.

I guess you don't need to know the designation to know how to fix them but come on, really? I'm by no means an expert on anything but these days I often find I'm more of an expert than the experts on pretty much everything. It used to make me mad but now it just makes me laugh and shake my head.
