We've had this 1990 W124 2.5 Diesel since new, and it has always started in
2nd when not running "red light drags". And the literature we got with the

it still runs the same!

And now that I think of it, you know what car REALLY looks like a 201
from all angles, not just the front---a first-generation Mazda
Protege. Look at the trunk especially.

What (pre-DB-buyout) Chrysler was it that used the imitation Mercedes
numerals on the trunk badge? Some sort of gussied-up K-car, I think?
Apparently somebody in marketing was banking that you couldn't tell

On Crack.

Tim - the oil pressure gauge should read 0 before you start the engine.
When it starts, the pressure will go right up to full scale (3 bar, or about
45psi) when cold, and when the engine is at operating temperature, will drop
down to between 1.5 to 2 bar at idle (for a good condition engine). M

IANAM (I am not a Marshall), but I believe the diesel engines in the 190
