I used to see this all the time when I had Volvos, they have little drain holes on each side (far back) that get plugged with pine needles and leaf goo and such. Someone here should know where they empty, and you can try to fish a thin stiff wire up them to clean them out. Or I could be full of it, since my Benz never has done that, and I assume the design is similar. Good luck!

Will support each truss before removing the beam... :) trying to make room for Superdawg... looking good... john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://wagoneers.com/fotos/fotomeister/ SAVE power, use LINUX: http://johnmeister.com/tmcp.pdf SAVE yourself: http://freegift.com SAVE fuel, use synthetics: http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 09 Nov 2008 17:05:47 -0800 From: Tom H Subject: [db] You'll Love This One! http://tinyurl.com/5tpuax http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150307980854&viewitem= Somebody needs this!
