Hello all,
Well I have accquired on of the "avoid" Diesels.  I have a 1990 350 SDL turbo and I need to either have the injector pump rebuilt or find a replacement for my first Mercedes.  If anyone can help me please answer as quickly as possible.
Thanks in advance.

I am looking at a 95 E300d. I was told that it would be hard to find parts for since it was only offered for one year. Sould I avoid this one?

Another thought...I once was looking at an 87 300SDL and the salesman told me the turbo had just been replaced under a recall put out by Mercedes. Any truth this "recall"?

Sorry everyone i dont get on as often as i used too. Yes that recall is real on all 1987 Mercedes with the 603 engine it was the trap-oxidizer that caused the problem and Mercedes will still honor this recall and if any damage was caused to the turbo they would also replace that.

No there is no reason to avoid this car in fact IMO it may one day be one of the most desired as it has the newer look with the same excellent quality of all W124s

They have great power and economy with minimal electronics.

I''m trying to decide between the ''96-97 300D and the ''98-99 300DT.  Would you share your opinion on these? 
Thanks much.

ForcedInduction -> RE: Diesels to Buy/Avoid (6/13/2008 5:13:11 AM)

The 98-99 E300. They are the same as the 96-97 E300 but turbocharged, as all diesels should be.

Do any of you guys know why Mercedes stopped doing the fender slits with the diesel turbo? I think they look kind of cool and purposeful, unlike a majority of them today

seanarcher -> RE: Diesels to Buy/Avoid (7/2/2008 10:23:57 AM)

i am looking at purchasing a 87 300dt.i am not sure wich engine is in the car.is the 6cyl turbo as reliable as the 5cylinder or are thier flaws like the head casting bosses or something else i should be aware of?

thank you
