truckinik, if I understood you correctly, that 300CD you're talking about is for sale because the owner put gasoline in it? |
Yep!! She put Gas in the Diesel car, and wreaked havoc on the engine..to put it mildly. The sections where the glow plugs screw into the head, are gone completely, looks like a bite was taken right out of a few of those areas, and you can look in and see the push rods, which means the pistons must have either grenaded, or vaporized, or some how fit through those holes and hit the bottom of the hood..LOL.
I just went over to her house, and sealed the deal though. She's mine now. I will be picking her up within the next few days. What a cream puff, as long as you ignore the small dimple one of the components put in the hood from the bottom, and don't open the hood. The car is a very light Beige color, or more like Almond colored, with a mint black leather interior.
I will be doing a complete change over of all the gas/Euro compnoents over a weekend, very soon. Guess I don't need to worry about the fuel tank....LOL
