How bout the freakin YEAR-MODEL and LOCATION

[autozen]

If you are going to ask for help from members of this board to help diagnose a problem with your car, please have the courtesy of letting everyone know what the model and year of the car is. You are probably not getting as many responses as you could by posting a question about something like, your Benz isn't getting any fuel. Can anyone tell me what the problem is? Since there is no prize for the correct answer, many people don't want to spend the key strokes to guess whether you have a carbureter, EFI, CIS, or for that matter a diesel. I have also seen ads for things like an engine for sale wiyh no clue anywhere as to whether the engine is in Alaska or Florida. Also people will ask if a quote they got for a job was fair without giving a location. Labor rates vary from $60/hr to over $100/hr depending on the economic climate of the area.

So please folks, if you have a question, let everone know what the year and model is and where you are. Everyone will assume it is a Benz. If you are wondering what where you live has to do with anything, sometimes climatic conditions affect operating characteristics of cars.

Thanks,
Peter
