Want to be a mechanic???
 

Want to be a mechanic???
A domestic mechanic must commit to memory the roughly six thousand word basic language; then learn the definition of each, now learn the theory behind the definition, then you get to figure out all the clever and tortured ways each company applies it. :eek:
This gets very rough if you are a top level Master Mechanic, domestic, Asian, British, European and Russian, each individually requires as much study as domestic. :eek:
Did I mention that every four years they change everything. :eek:

Blasphemy Louis, blasphemy I say. :dark:

May your new E320Cdi forever be possesed by electronic grimblin's. :devil:

The only magizene's that I can find that will run any artical on MB's that are not new are UK mags. So I kind have picked up the Merc thing.

OIL MOTOR? eeeennnt, wrong answer.
OM= original manufacturer (Mercedes)
OEM=original equipt manufacturer ( BEHR radiators, Bosch headlights, MAN filters....etc)

YES-
T= wagon ------ not turbo.
however-
E= Fuel injected Gasoline

Yes checked the link and the critical part is that "DBAG abbreviates this as OM.".... and what is DBAG? a German club? so yes OM is diesel in German. OM in English means what I said it means, and this is widely known. Have not seen any 300OM's lately. No 350SOML's either. Nor a 300SOM. They also abbriviate Not Applicable as N/A. This would be correct if you were dealing with office stuff mostly- but we're dealing with car and engines, so N/A means Naturally Asperated unless otherwise noted.
