[diesel_mercedes] Re: Re : Serious Cold Wx. Routine Maint.

 

I would think it would be best to have someone show you how to do it the first time. Doing stuff the first time can be tricky and simple mistakes can be made which could cause big problems. I remember once when I was figuring out how to adjust the valves on my 1981 Subaru I must of done them backwards. The car started right up but sounded very clackey. So I had to do them again, finally got it right. I want to get some of those "stepped" gauges Nate keeps talking about because I always have to readjust till I get it right. Anyway help is a good thing.Max
