Did a purge on my son's 240D last night and the recirculated fluid turned green any thoughts? I presume algae.

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.
