[MBZ] goodyear = Bad Day

I have had nothing but bad from goodyear tires. The one exception was the ones that came with the quantum. those never slipped belts and held the road reasonably well. Several of the problems were rubber that is either made too hard or ages to become too hard and does not grip the road.

I'm finally getting around to replacing the glow plugs in my 97 e300. 1-5 came out easy with no issues, and look like recent ngk plugs, no carbon build up at all. I don't know anything about these so assume they fail early. I get to #6 and it is stuck good. I'm working it back and forth now. I

Re: [MBZ] 350sdl update

Check the vacuum pump, if it sheds chunks it usually breaks the chain, but if the cam gear was bad, a suddenly locked chain could fracture it. Knocking before failure sounds more like a cracked camshaft sprocket though. I don't think this is a common failure Peter
