Here people don't work on their own cars they take'm to a mechanic shop. They say if your not a professional then you shouldn't touch it. Infact it is illegal to simply work on your car or wash it at your house unless you have a garage you can put it inside. Crazy huh?
The owner spoke enough English that between my German and his English we understood each other. My mother-in-law used to work there, cleaning up and stuff like that. The owner would deduct the VAT amount so you didn't need to go through the VAT office on base. Very good place. If it's still there, you might check it out.
I thank you for your service.

BTW...most of the electric fans I've checked have an integrated shroud as part of the replacement mounting assembly. They mount to the radiator core support in place of the mechanical fan's shroud.

Yea
It is pretty dumb about the whole working on your own car thing, but I think the Germans are coming around cause I do have a part store. Its not like a napa, but it will order you almost anything in just a couple of days. The owner knows me by name, face and by cars. I get a discount just cause he knows I'll be back and I bring anybody else I know, but thanks for the tip. Anything will help out here in the land of the little, cars that is.
