Your posting efforts are appreciated
I've read all the FAQs and threads over the past 3 years about new oils and such and have replaced fuel filters correctly (filled with power service), changed oil numerous times using the latest rendition for the vehicle (replacing the oil nut washer each time, also), replaced the brake switch without breaking it, and replaced the tires with the correct OEM. All of this without asking a question. Thank you all for posting such direct, clear, and unambiguously illustrated threads about regular car care. Your efforts are appreciated and have helped many folks, who may not have had time to post such comments. I bought the car because of the beauty of how diesel engines work, the extra gas mileage was a bonus. It would not have been possible to repair it feasibly without your help.
Thanks,
Anthony
