I'm a fan of the Flyer (1.9l diesel), crawled under one and it had a muffler only. http://www.gd-ots.com/flyer.html

You could try the citric acid powder flush, I got some at the local chain drug store. Here is a link the old Benz how-to: http://dieselgiant.com/mercedes_citrus_flush.htm

Those came stock on the PD and 11mm (auto) ALH. I installed one from a parts car on our ALH wagon. Might as well throw one on if you can find one, studs are there, bolts right up.

The driver door lock on our car started cycling a lot at low speeds and blinking. We never checked whether the door actually locked. Mentioned it when we went if for the 23n5 a couple weeks ago and they identified a bad door lock, replaced under warranty.

Got the 23n5 done today, dealer has no info on dieselgate fix.

Thanks, we'll take it in Wed.

Our car is scheduled to go in for the 23N5 flash on Wednesday. Hopefully it's too soon but what are the chances of a flash to deal with the emissions issue being ready to install by then?

Reasons I waited: 1. Wanted to compare VCDS adblue % with actual. It showed 25% ~500 miles before the 1500 mile warning displayed. 2. With all the talk of DEF shelf life figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to turn over the fluid as much as possible versus continually diluting the fluid from...

Adblue notification finally displayed at 22,200 miles. Added a kruze bottle but warning didn't reset until after I added an additional 2.5 gallons via the reusable kruze bottle...

I've lived in NW NC (5yrs), piedmont NC (8yrs). Utah (5mths), currently S. FL (10yrs), and other places. VeeDubTDI put it well regarding UT, Boise on the other hand... Florida is OK if you like the weather, we know several people who have lived in the keys and burned out on it after a few...

Whenever it's not raining I commute to work on my 08 Yamaha v-star 650. Bundling up today to ride it in on the coldest day of the year! Water pump is out in the truck...

It was mentioned earlier, but you have an OBS powerstroke, OBS stands for Old Body Style. The other, newer Ford truck with the 7.3l powerstroke is the Superduty. Keep those two categories in mind when looking for info because there are several differences and many similarities. Another forum...
