Adding a turbo on a 1978 300D?
It occured to me that adding a turbo from a 300D turbo to a non-turbo 300D might not be that difficult - But not everything that I think should be easy is!!
Thanks

Mileage Specs 240/300D
What is the manufactures advertised MPG on the 240D and 300D?
Did this vary depending on the model year?
While negotiating the purchase of a 240D with WVO installed the seller said, he had just purchased a 1983 300D that got better fuel mileage per gallon. I thought this odd considering the 240D is a 4 cylinder and the 300D is 5 cylinder. Would use of the WVO system in the 240D somehow cause this to occur or is it more likely something else causing this to occur? Would the vehicle the 240D get better gas mileage if run solely on diesel fuel?
Thanks.

1984 300D cruise control not consistant
Hi all and Happy New Year. I have read a few questions about cruise control problems and always try to learn from them. The problem with my Benz is a little different from what I am reading. My CC works but is not consistant. Sometimes when I set it right around 60 mph and around 3000 rpm it holds pretty smooth and constant. But unless I set it at just the right speed it operates kind of jerky. It will surge for a second and then back off as it compensates for hills and dips on the highway. It just isn't constant.

Euro 230ce maintenance parts and repair
Hello everyone! My first post and I want say that, I am enthused and on my way to Mercedes ownership, with some help.
I've been looking at purchasing a 1985 230ce with 101K (asking $5K) on the meter for about 6 months. I think they have the coolest classic look. It's not in the best shape but she runs strong and steady.
Would someone give me an opinion(s) on wheather or not this vehicle is known to be reliable and can I DIY the maintenance and repairs. Parts!!! The 230ce never pops up on any the domestic online car parts sites.

1982 300D Turbo- Cruise Control Issues
Hi Kent,
My cruise control has some issues. I can move the arm in the "set" position, and it will accelerate, but won't set the cruise control. In other words, when I push the arm, the gas pedal goes down and the car speeds up rapidly, but won't stay at any set speed. Easy fix? Complicated fix? Expensive fix?
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you a Happy New Year!
Justin and I will be in Bellingham Jan 14-17 and will swing in to say Hello.

Excessive Oil Consumption 1981 300D
This is my third Merecedes, the first 2 had 200K+ at time of purchase and i ran the cars until the body was literally falling off on one and the suspension fell apart on the other. Both still had sound engines but everything else was worn out. My latest purchase has 162K miles, everything appears clean inside and out, body good shape, feels solid going down the road, etc. One problem : uses a quart of oil every 200 miles when going at interstate speeds. Considering the others engines had so many miles and still ran well i have a hard time giving up on this one.
