Peter,

Parallel GP were used in the '78 300SD and possibly earlier, I knoe, I have one. The way he described thh GP in the different engines it sounded like there are series in one and parallel in the other.

Maybe in German it is a motor but in the US a chemical energy to heat energy to mechanical energy converter is an engine: I.E. steam engine, jet engine, gasoline engine, ETC. I know, look it up in the Dictionary, but Mr. Webster is wrong. What would you expect from a liberal arts major: He says a motor is the same thing as an engine. So if this it true then I have a starter engine, a fan blower engine and engines in my doors to make the windows go up and down. Wouldn't I sound stupid if I called my starter motor a starter engine. Well to me to call a Diesel engine a Diesel motor sounds just as stupid.
