Thanks to all. I have the problem repaired. It looked like the procedure had been done before and it looks like this is the probably the last time it will work. I just recently got the 240 d and I am very pleased with it. The last owner said the owner previous to him had the engine rebuilt and then he died and his wife didn't want the car. It seems to be a pretty good car. Some rust problems in the floor on the drivers side and in the trunk. One of my brothers is a welder and I hope to get him to look at it soon. If he can cure the rust, I look forward to a long relationship as this is the first car in a while that I like to drive. It is the first car I have had in twenty five years that has a personality. I have gotten too accustomed to cars being transportation. Thanks again. I'm going to try to archive the pictures to a floppy as this is very useful information.
