I came here in 2001 to learn how to replace a water pump on an OM616 in a 307d. Nobody here knew how and to this day, I believe I am the only one here who knows how to do it. One might assume the forum failed me. To the contrary, what I thought I needed to know was far outweighed by what I actually needed to know and didn't know that I needed to know it. I have since come to know a lot of what I didn't know I needed to know and am quite confident that I can deal with problems that arise in 616's and 617's.
