Well it happened to me @ the BP station in Lake City Florida back in Feb. We pulled into the clearly marked DIESEL PUMP (green hose and handle) with our 2004 MB SPRINTER campervan. Cheerfullly pumped $78 worth and went on our way--for about a mile. Got towed to a shop which was not...

Yesterday I tried to put it down and I heard a PING and now it won't go up or down, although I can hear the motor spinning both ways. Strange thing is I was able to put it back up using the key feature from outside! Anybody had this problem? IN the pacific NW I NEED all these windows to...

Can anyone tell me the boiling point of 50/50 glycol mix at this altitude? I think the pressure in the system is about 20 PSI or so. My 2004 MBenz Sprinter is running hotter on grades in the mountains than seems right in cool weather. The RED PART of the (Canadian Model) temp guage reads...

For those that don't know yet, the nortoious EGR cooler failures in these motors (and other?) is now a formal recall! I got the paperwork from VW Canada Inc. yesterday: "Emissions Recall M6, 2004-2005 model year VW Golf, Jetta, and New Beetle Vehicles with TDI: Engines. Yup! About time! So I...

Just got my new heavy-duty skid plate from Evolution Imports in Ladysmith, BC----That's on Vancouver Island just south of Nanaimo. I couldn't be happier with the product and with the fast, meticulous installation by Neil and Amy. Somewhat complicated by the fact that I insisted on also...
