I only tested 4... you've tested 20... I wonder how many other fraudlent cases exist... I know one friend had a terrible time selling a very, very nice vehicle because Carfax said it had been wrecked... it hadn't, the same guy had owned it since new... an immaculate vehicle... I think he lost about $6,000 over what he could have sold it for... carfax, just say no... they are inaccurate, unreliable and use FUD as their marketing tool...

Subject: [db] Calibration of IP question Hi. I'm getting ready to have my IP re-calibrated soon. Shop says that the injectors of my 79 240D must be replaced. No question about that but is it only the injector tips that need replacement, or the whole lot? Thanks.
