Hi Kent,
I know you're very busy with your business & Ebay, but I had to take the time to thank you for the great information & the way you wrote your Benz mx book. I dabble with cars-mostly Ford prod. earlier in my life, but when I bought my first Benz in '98 -an '80 240D 4 speed, I now understand what makes these cars so great. I too am an A & P mechanic. I work for Airtran Airways in Tampa FL. So I understand your dedication of proper maintenance. I bought a 1984 300CD off of Ebay about a year ago & was concerned about oil consumption having 270,000 miles on it. I'm glad to say your book put me at rest about it needing an engine rebuild anytime soon. In fact, after replacing the oil filter housing gasket, it uses no oil between changes & gets up to 32 MPG!! These definitely are some vehicles!! Thank you very much,
-Paul P.
