I guess it was Mike Miller writing the responses. The guy complains that his 524td doesn't run properly and the response is to check for vacuum leaks!!!!!!

Seems like someone needs to go back to Diesel 101. I loved amazing people with taking the valve cover off and show them while the engine is running.

Even better is running one with the intake manifold completely removed! Its really cool seeing the intake valves open and close through the ports with the engine running...

You can actually do it with an M30 too if you have an assistant hold the key in the Start position until the starter bursts into flames...
