Took Froggy out to a club gathering this morning. A new local indy shop so that there would be resources on that part of town. On the way home, in the rain, I activated the washer pump and it spit the nozzle out of the hood. I was able to slow down and pull over before the nozzle escaped. I think there is calcium in there.
Anyway, the car got put up on the ramp for show and tell. It was nice to see it get all poked at and probed and have very little wrong found. The misfire was noted. That will need far more attention to remedy. Valves or a sparky thing since it is intermittent. I went ahead and scheduled them to take a look later in March. What was really great was that the tech found so little else that needed attention. A very minor ATF leak on a cooler line. Otherwise, solid and dry, with slight wear on half a bushing. Compared to the other cars that hit the lifts, she is a museum piece. Now I have to continue tossing cash at her to keep her nice. clay 2002 s430 - Victor, a Stately & well tailored chap 1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green 1972 220D - Gump - She was green, simple and ran 1995 E300D - Gave her life to save me against a Dame in a SUV POS 1987 SDL - Beware Nigerian Scammers _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
