time has passed

Now the car has 243K, and I just added up what it cost me per mile since I bought it 6.5 years ago at 80K...$0.43 per mile. Seemed high, but maybe not so bad, considering the IRS uses $0.405 for...

dealer = stealer?

In the latter part of December, I took my '92 500E (219K miles) in for a timing chain and rails, which eventually led to more work. The quote was a total of $3400, and my bill was $3900+, so I was...

fuel filter leak

Thanks for the tip. My new Bosch filter had no washers included. I guess thats the problem with mail order parts. I will try the sanding idea right away. Hopefully, that will get me on the road.

Another related question. Do I replace the motor only, or the motor and fan(s)? There's quite a difference (+/- double, if the fans are included) in price for the parts.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like I'll do the fan myself now, and let my tech do the heater core when the time comes. I'll print the pages from my MB CD-ROM and look forward to the weekend!
