![]() ![]() I had to drive about 100 miles today and I made a few stop since the check coolant level kept coming on, so I had the cap loose and I made it all the way home. ![]() I have no clue WTH is going on because the dealership couldn't figure out what's going on. I opened the cap slowly and it came right back. All the coolant from the expansion tank was gone. Had everything changed, took the truck for a spin and what do you know 3 miles on the highway and the check coolant level came on. So I went back to the dealership and ordered a new thermostat, expansion tank, cap, Aux cir water pump, Heater control valve that in the back of the engine, coolant temp sensor, coolant and new fuses. Had it at the "EURO" vehicle show and I was told that my thermostat was not Mercedes and that could be the culprit. Here what's been going on in the last week. The German word "rest" translates directly to one meaning of the English "rest".Įnglish is a bear to learn because of multiple meanings, but it does make the language more compact and makes for terrific puns and riddles. Restwert actually means residual value or residual amount. Hence we are drivers of Gelandewagen Luxus - the first being something like on-land vehicle. German also likes abbreviations, and this word has one: ReÜAÜG. It refers to a "law for regulating the labeling of beef"-all in one word, which is why it is so long. This hyper word references a "beef labeling regulation and delegation of supervision law." This was a 1999 German Word of the Year, and it also won a special award as the longest German word for that year. The longest German words easily trump our own supercalifragilisticexpialidocious or antidisestablishmentarianism: Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübert ragungsgesetz And for some strange reason I assumed it was a verb.įun fact: German is an often-times hilarious language, as speakers do not make new words but simply string smaller words together. REST is German for remainder or residual - Restwert.Holy crap guise, he's right.
