Actually one day about 2 years into owning my 240D I noticed a SEVERE reduction in power that changing the filters fixed right away. I'd let the tank get much lower than ever before a day or two before and I guess it just took a day to really pack all the crud into the filter. A 240D with a bad filter is a DRAG. -Curt --------------------------------- Yahoo! for Good - Make a difference this year.

The forest of studs poking out of the block were not removed, so obviously no flatness test was done. -- Jim
