Interesting about the oil cooler hoses. I figured that the vast majority of a model year's production would have come in the previous year. Guess not.

The last model > year was 1985, correct? I believe that there were 300GDs made after that date. My 1979 300SD had oil cooler hoses that were made in July 1979, so April doesn't seem to be the end of a model year's production. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com --------------------------------- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?

My 91 300D 2.5T is on itz original pump at 130k and I'm wondering if now is a prudent time to replace it?
