Title: Help with translation
Post by: 49er on September 30, 2011, 14:33:14

 This little document was included with my owner's manual kit. I presume it was a check off list done at the factory, possibly for the kit itself. Am I correct?

I'm eager for Achim or Peter H or Cees or someone else to tell us whether I'm right about these.

Hi PJ'
 Thanks for your translation. The "customer service check book" does contain slips for service at varying intervals. Also interesting that a check was made to make sure the radiator star was there. Car came with all items checked so the packing slip wasn't sent back.
Thanks again, and glad to have put those German classes you took put to good use. ;)

John

Oh, this is fun! Thanks Peter H. I should send this thread to my 1980s German prof to validate my marks  ;D

I thnk "Kuehlerstern" refers to what we call the Grill Star, even though "Kuehler" is the german word for radiator. If the german word Grill were used, I think it would refer to the kind of barbecue that excites Texans like Hank Hill of cartoon fame.
