In other news, Hella coil packs for M112 come in yellow Hella boxes that say 'Made in China'. The good news is I paid something like $23 each, when my memory says six of them used to cost about $400.

I bought a Rein coolant tank for my Volvo when a hose barb cracked and broke off of the factory original tank. Got it from FCP Euro whom I assume is not selling complete junk. The part looks fine to me. I never ended up installing it, because the emergency roadside repair I made (cut off old barb, drill out the hole a bit to get a clean hole, epoxy in a new hardware-store barb) been holding up well. I probably will swap it out this spring when I have plans to do a pre-summer coolant change anyway.

I just received my Rein power steering tank and seal. Box says made in China. Tank and cap/dipstick have absolutely no markings on them at all, not even a mold 'clock' for date stamp. Feels sturdy, has a white baffle in the tank and the bolt hole has a steel reinforcement in it, but it's hard to judge quality. Oh well, it cost me 6 gallons of Premium, so as long as it lasts a few years it'll pay for itself. ___ 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
