Just a note, When its REALLY cold out, like 0F or colder you'll want to glow +15-30 secs twice. I've never found any real advantage in a third glow but the second glow does seem to make a difference.
Then crank and HOLD. I guess I agree with the crowd that said pump the accelerator and hold half way. So all the way down and back maybe 3 times then hold midway and crank until it starts or the battery dies. If its 0F or colder you've only got one shot, make it a good one. -Curt Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2007 22:51:12 -0600 From: "Zoltan Finks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Trying out 0Wxx Mobil 1 To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Pershiate it.

It means "get out your checkbook". Didn't Kaleb go through this not so long ago? I seem to remember after a few changes the pepto went away... I think its water, motoroil turns kinda light grey when mixed with water, if you added some red dye I bet you'd get Pepto like this. -Curt Date: Thu, 04 Jan 2007 22:53:33 -0600 From: John Robbins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [MBZ] What does pink tranny fluid mean?

If credit is already in some criminals hands they likely have opened many other accounts in your name. If they are particularily nasty they might try to get a drivers license and other documents in your name also. It can get real bad. You need to get credit reports from all 3 credit agencies (you get them free once per year) and see what new accounts have been opened. You can do all this on the phone & internet. When you see fraudulent activity call the police and file a report - you will need that to convince the companies you did not open the account - because they *are* going to look to you to pay the bills - and you'll need police reports to do that. The $12k in charges? I assume the credit card company knows you didn't make those charges? Also, how did the activate the card - I thought it could only be activated by calling from your home phone? I guess the criminals have found a way around that. If you believe the CC was taken from your mail box call the Post Office (or their website) and get them involved. Mail Theft/Fraud is very serious and again, you'll need to have reported it to deal with the credit providers. Take a look at - http://www.creditreportproblems.com/identity_theft.htm?gclid=CL6msb7YyYkCFSoIFQodchSjUg Also, Google "Identity Theft" for more ways to help, but be careful - some criminals have created websites to get people to provide SS #'s, etc and steal their identities! Watch for Phishing. You ISP may offer a Phishing Filter BTW. Comcast does. Good luck - depending on the ability of the criminals this could be a time consuming, expensive problem. Sorry this happened - there are some scummy people out there!
