Re: im a diesel owner now
DonTSA congrats to your purchase!

I used to have a few of them while I lived in Germany. The 300D is the best Diesel Mercedes built! Many 300D's in Germany have over 500,000 miles on them (Taxis).

Re: im a diesel owner now
Too bad you dont live in Seattle, I could introduce you to BenzFriendz. They're a combination salvage and parts shop with a mechanic's shop as well.

They're the OM617 engine gurus here in the Puget Sound.
