So what’s all this manure about the German engineering? /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif
I’m performing an acceptance test on a new system for one of my customers and everything is going smoothly until I take the system for a drive.
For the record where talking about a Dodge (Mercedes Benz) Sprinter Van with the MB I6 turbo diesel and one of my employer’s security x-ray screening devices in the coach/cargo box - used for screening vehicles.
Anyway of all the high tech sophisticated, delicate & expensive equipment to give me grief it’s the Mercedes platform! On it’s first road trip as part of the shake down I get an engine light in the dash. Looking at the owners manual – all it says it that it’s for the “Engine control unit management”. Luckily I’ve got a dodge dealership just a half mile up the road but after taking it in it looks like I won’t know the status until sometime late this afternoon or tomorrow morning.
This is a PITB because I still haven’t finishing all of what I’ve got to do and I’ve got a couple guys flying out from the east coast to perform the acceptance for the customer. So if the van isn’t back up & running this afternoon – those guys are going to be PO’ed and I won’t get acceptance done until the next time they’re in town – whenever that will be.
Again – I don’t know what the engine light is for – according to the service manager it could be any one of a hundred different things. I hopeful it’s something simple but even if it is I doubt they’ll have it back to us until sometime tomorrow. So I’m not holding my breath for any good news.
Ok, rant over.
I feel better now...
