I don't have an answer to your question, because I have never tried to do
this without the A/C running after the initial charge is loaded.
What I don't understand is your reasoning as to why the engine could not
run during the charge. What do you gain by attempting to heat the
refrigerant instead
They will be recycling their old content though.

Using synthetic would probably loosen up stuff in the differential. If you
use synthetic, I would think in terms of changing again much sooner than if
you just used conventional.

Since it does not appear to be a compression issue, I would look at the
coil, distributor, timing chain, cam sensor or equivalent (adjustment for
wear in the timing chain?), or something already changed that was defective

Not all drivebywire systems are faulty. I had a 2000 VW TDI that never had
any problems and never heard of any runaway vehicles. Come to think of

Part of the reason is that Washington State has a high fuel tax. The price
drops as soon as you cross into Idaho or Oregon.

Optimistic in what way? With regular oil changes, chains can last a very
long time and hundreds of thousands of miles is not uncommon. My Cummins
engines were gear driven and those normally don't need to be replaced
either. If the previous owners abused the engines then all bets are off.

The Costco Amex cards gets you 3% on gas purchases up to $3000 year then it
drops to 1% (but not at Costco IIRC), 3% on restaurants including fast

While anything over 1/2 bar is probably Mercedes specification, we see a
lot of cars that have 1.5 or higher oil pressure at hot idle. The only one

I would normally just put in about 300 psi and watch and the gauge. If it
drops, there's a leak. Cheaper than testing with refrigerant. Just
because the system can hold vacuum doesn't mean it can hold pressure, and
vice versa.

Often the RAID arrays come new with one batch of drives all of the same
make/model and over time the replacements come from different lots. For
example, a new RAID array may have all Seagate drives, and as they fail we
may get another make/model as a replacement.

However, using a FireWire interface, it works perfectly (though slower).

Dan,
I would say there are actually 3 levels of drives:
Cheap consumer drives - 1-3 year warranty
Better consumer drives - i.e. Caviar Black, 5 year warranty
Enterprise drives - 5 year warranty, usually designed for RAID arrays, i.e.
RE4

If you have a drive that is acting weird, I would run a test on it. If it
fails, get it replaced while its still under warranty. Western Digital has
free software that will read every part of the disk. It can take 5-7 hours
for a 2TB drive if its connected with SATA/eSATA.
I'd have to research t
Are you sure its a hardware problem? I would test the drives before
condemning them. Is it something where the drive is going to sleep because
of inactivity?

everyone's drives fail. That's why you use hot spares and have a service

When you see unavailable, I think its best to call/email with the idea that
"everything is available" regardless of what the website says.

One of the nice things about the Northeast, referred to earlier as
"diversity" is that there are ethnic neighborhoods. Some date back to the
early 20th century, where Italians, Germans, or Polish residents first
settled. Some more suburban communities that were once mixed are now
mostly populated

In NJ I believe you are only allowed to transport guns if both the gun and
ammo are stored in separate lock boxes, and you can't stop at grandma's
house on the way to the shooting range if the gun is in the car.
