I might consider it if I still lived in Hawaii. My mom had a Diesel VW Rabbit, and the station we always went to buy fuel actually had a water seperator on the pump hose.

The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt and the Lockheed P-38 Lightning both had turbos mounted way back in the tail. Then again, airplanes don't have the lag issues that cars do.

My driver's side engine mount on my '82 300SD collapsed a few years ago, so badly that it pounded a hole in the crossmember. The power steering belt sawed into the oil cooler line and made a thin...

I thought the dash vents weren't supposed to put out any heat? They never did in my W126 280 SE or my 300SD. I just close 'em when it's cold.

Sorry if this has already been clarified, but does the oil pressure gauge peg when the key is turned on and before the engine starts? If so, the wire to the sender is grounded.

I'd guess that rather than an engine swap, that "450SEL" was the recipient of a trunk emblem swap. :D Then again, my Occam's Razor needs a new blade. :)

I'd also worry about a car that had very very low mileage, like a 20 year old car with under 100,000. Chances are it sat for a long time or was only driven on short trips.

The words "Engine" and "Motor" have different meanings, at least to purists. Do the Germans also make such a distinction, or do they call anything that produces motion a "Motor"?

I've always wondered about what oil pressure my engine sees when it's running, since the gauge pegs at 3 bar, roughly 45PSIG, and it's always pegged at anything above idle.
