That is a matter of perspective. It uses prior German engineering (190DT) to overcome problems with later German engineering (W124 EDS system). Better? Above my pay grade to answer. More reliable? Yes. Easier for the backyard mechanic to troubleshoot? Yes. Rick Sorry for the delayed reply.

My 90 300D 2.5t is the best car I ever owned. Friend is still driving it over 300k miles. I love my E320 4matic but could be tempted by a nice 124 0M602.

[MBZ] The AZ Bob 124
I also noticed in the pictures, the injection lines have no mounting brackets or supports. That means whoever worked on it, probably doesn't know what they are doing. It has also had the AMG Dave/GSXR turbo mod. Meaning the waste gate is mechanical and not electronic (probably a good thing). I'd offer $1500. https://tucson.craigslist.org/cto/6793373578.html Rick ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
