Well, Crap. Now I feel like a moron! I'm sure glad I pulled the transmission for better access to that screw. </FACEPALM> Anyway, you were right TheDon, that fixed it up just fine. I wonder if that...

Radiator installed

The radiator installation went just fine. It is only about 1.75" wider and that width all goes to the passenger side, so the oil cooler fits just fine. The only difficulty I had on this job was that...

Radiator conversion for 1980 240D

So, I bought the wrong radiator for my 240D and I'm curious about what it will take to just convert to the radiator I now have rather than deal with the hassle of returning it. What I bought by...

The cap gasket seems to be in good shape in the sense that it would prevent fuel from splashing out, though not from being forced out under pressure. I could not locate the filler neck assemblage in...
