My '83 240D was using/leaking a quart in 700 miles which I considered an obscene amount. I *think* its leaking around the filter base but I never cared enough to bother. Fortunately the 190D hasn't leaked any noticable amount in 2300 miles. -Curt '85 190D "Dory" 236kmi Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2006 19:24:47 -0500 From: John Ervine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] '82 300CD excessive oil usage-update To: Mercedes Discussion List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Christ, even our 240D didn't burn that much oil with 1 double-holed piston, 1 deeply gouged cylinder liner, 1 piston with cracked rings, and a cracked head!

My standard first swipe cleaning plan is hot water with vinegar. That helped alot, a gallon of tobacco stained water later some of the funk was gone but then I glued up the plastic thing where you rest your left foot. So the glue smells been stuck in there for awhile. The coffee should do a good job at absorbing that. I had a dorm room in college that had a serious funk when I moved in, I put coffee in a filter and it wasn't long before the funk moved on. -Curt Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2006 18:11:53 -0700 From: Craig McCluskey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Another happy day with the 190D To: Mercedes Discussion List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII On Sun, 26 Mar 2006 16:51:22 -0800 (PST) Curt Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Right now I'm glueing up a paper towel to make a coffee sachet to absorb > some of the smell.

No, The 190D has a 722.4 transmission, the '80s 123 & 124 turbos (except Calif) are 722.3 transmissions. Check Rusty's site, they are different part numbers.
