No recall on those.

Its a 15 year old modestly priced car after all... That's a steal. The PD engine is pretty zippy, same as Angie's car. Benefits greatly from a stage 1 tune, takes it from (IIRC) 90hp to 110, its very noticeable. -Curt On Sunday, March 14, 2021, 4:26:58 PM EDT, Allan Streib via Mercedes wrote: Typical VW interior falling apart after 150k miles.

Re: [MBZ] Rounded drain plug success!
When you install the new drain plug, clean the threads in the pan [maybe even a blast of brake cleaner] then coat the plug threads with Never Seize. Next time you drain the oil, the plug will come out. I've been doing that trick with steel drain plugs that go into aluminum manual transmission cases for a long time with good success.

[MBZ] SL600 loosing colant
The SL has been loosing colant recently which made me think a head gasket had blown but looking at it yesterday I am thinking a new water pump is needed. Kinda making noise and looks like the leak is coming from the pulley shaft area.
