Kent guided me along to change my IP seals on the W201 in my 190D. Mercedes Source was my go to for the Merc Diesel, and was one of the few places I could find rebuilt injectors for the W201.

Why the F is the reg. in METRIC?? I mean if the regs. are in metric can’t we just switch over everything else so my math challenged self can actually calculate measurements etc.?? Ugh I hate imperial...

Internet Forums / Enthusiast Forums ARE YOUR FRIEND. Pretty much every car out there has some kind of forum or group that you can spend an hour or two on and identify ANY issues you can anticipate. I made this mistake once, found the forum after purchase and saw the light.

Replaced injection pump delivery valve seals in a W201. Crazy small parts to deal with. I did this in my buddies driveway since I lived in an Apt. and couldn’t do it there. One of the springs flew out and I nearly lost it had to fish it out between the pump and block with a magnet. One little spring almost rendered…

Most of those Lobbyists and Government workers are not from the DC Metro, and therefore root for other teams...most likely the Cowboys, Steelers, Pats or Eagles. DC is a city of transients.

Agreed. I’ve been to COTA past two years and enjoyed these races. Very exciting with the mix of drivers. Lots of cars going backwards on T1.

If this has SLS that’s the first thing I’d look at. Otherwise these are phenomenal seems like a good deal, but if that SLS is shot its a bitch to refurb or swap out to a standard suspension.

What do we consider low mileage though? For me it was 1500 miles on a “used” 2013 NC GT. I would view low mileage as anything under the first service interval - so basically only oil changes performed...otherwise it’s more about actual age, how it was stored, and what part of the world it was driven, and maintenance…

Much better than Maryland!!

Ouch

I guess having the 3 passengers in the vehicle was the drivers idea of reducing the power...

I think the VW Thing is a better fit for this...

YES. I loved that! So much easier to work with.
