A mechanic I know who works on all makes of foreign cars refers to stuff like that as "typical German knucklehead engineering."
:D

He doesn't mind doing the work, and he likes the way German cars drive, too... but he hates to see the owners having to lay out so much green for repairs.

Glad to hear it! Do you think your wife will let me in the house now or should I wait a while? :D

Yep, wifey was never mad at you, but I think she was mad at me for picking an Audi... kind of funny, she felt sorry for the guy and was glad she did not know him. :D

Wife had a 318ti....lotsa fun, because it was under warranty! 2, thats 2 new transmissions were installed (she had the manual). Some minor electric glitches as well.

My father in law has a 1985 Mercedes 300D (the old 4 door diesels).. it has 520,000 miles on it. He has had it since new and there is no reason to sell it. It runs perfectly, gets 25-27mpg regularly, and everything works.

Actually the driver seat is totally ruined. He has worn through it and there are springs sticking out of it. That's the only problem. He too has stated that he will have it until it, or he dies.
