However, from what I see in automotive advice columns, >apparently this sometimes happens.) I've been incredibly amazed at *every* automobile service department that I've ever been to by this. The service advisor's and often the mechanics are incredibly ignorant of the factory service bulletins. If I worked there, I'd read every bulletin issued and have an index for it as it would save everyone involved a lot of hassle. Bob
