So all this talk about Asian cars going 100K miles without maintanence can not be true. Right off the bat, you have to change out the timing belt every 60K or so miles.

If you ever have to change the alternator in a Honda Civic you'll see what I mean. Hint: step 1 is "remove driver's side drive axle." I think they way Honda stamps the required socket size on the head of each bolt is a rather nice touch, though. If it says "10", you reach for the 10mm socket. No guessing required. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
