Re: A 3.0 V6 dual turbo diesel engine, the OM642
Or has something fresh emerged? And that article is from the United States, where cars often have different engines and layouts than their European counterparts.

Re: Automatically disabled cruise control
Much obliged. At the moment it occurred, I am certain that my foot did not hit the brake pedal. I managed to activate cruise control a few seconds later, and it served me well for the rest of the journey. Just a message saying "crusie control failer, contact a service center" remained on the screen ...

Re: Require fuel hoses that are no longer available for the W202 C200.
MB, isn't the amount of rubber hoes cut according to the metric system?
Is the shorty hoe that comes with the fuel pump also non-leaking? It has a sharp bend and starts leaking over time.
In the event that MB is unable to provide authentic parts, could you possibly install silicone shoes?

Re: Yet another inquiry on the inline 6 turbo's oil weight
In my opinion, there's more going on with oil viscosity than just mpg. Here are a few important reasons why oils with lower viscosities are becoming more popular:
Modern engines are constructed with clearances between moving parts, such as bearings and pistons, that are microscopically thin. This ...

Re: Updating the cooling system - the temperature persistently rises
Thank you. Now it's time for the follow-up. Since I vacuumed the system, I thought bleeding it wouldn't be necessary. I replaced every single part of the cooling system, so maybe that's true for a simple drain and refill. Pump, radiator, hoses, thermo, heater hoses, gearbox oil cooler and everything ...
