chain jumping a tooth - well, don't know, but i really doubt it as the chain was new in June and the rhythmic revving (not loping) started about 1 month ago. No, not the AKP-Wagen, this is the SD. Bad fuel - well, this IS possible. THe rhythmic revving thing started after the car was parked for two weeks...maybe bugs grew... But then I would have clogged filters and loss of power, which I do NOT have. Also, it does it whether it is warm out or cold.

I think it may be accumulated off fuel. this is not the AKP, I assume. cold weather making it not flow as it wants to, so the engine is searching for proper idle On Thursday, November 17, 2005, at 08:44 AM, Christopher McCann wrote: > Thanks for the research.

The voltage regulator on 124/201 cars usually last ABOUT 150kmi. (all of mine did). All of mine wore out before 155kmi and I quickly learned to change them the first time at 135-140kmi and when they fail again (between 260-300kmi), I buy a rebuilt alternator (rebuilt by Bosch - with the Bosch 2 year warranty) since the bearings are likely to be toast by then.
