Now that's a rare engine around here.
Was the 605 ever sold in North America?
I've long thought about converting a 2.3-16v to a 2.5-20v.
Aside from the cylinder head it would be very

from the eBay add:

waste cooking oil (WCO) or Biodiesel!!
WRONG! WVO/WCO ≠ biodiesel.

yes, there's much misunderstanding about Biofuels, but to be fair, that
statement could mean that he ran it on WVO some of the time and on
BioDiesel some of the time.
cheers!

No Luther, not wrong! Just because it has a setup for wvo does not mean
you cannot run dino or bio-diesel.
This, oh my god, it's a wvo car and is now useless for anything else type
of thinking is absurd.

if i hadn't seen so many badly botched up conversions, i'd be more
inclined to agree.
part of the problem is that it's hard to know what kind of crap
people have run through a car just because its converted.

There is no scientific research that shows long-term WVO use not
causing life-ending damage to a diesel engine. This is a reason no car
manufacturers are exploring WVO/VO as a viable fuel source.

Ah, but someone has to try it to get that long term data. How much long
term life do you need from a 20-40 year old car?

Exactly. Say you buy a car run on wvo but with very good service history,
or you buy a car that has never seen wvo but has poor service history,
either way , it is a used car and it is up to you to check it out and make
sure it is a good car before you lay down your cash. Maybe the previous
Years ago I found a university study, a small diesel engine was the test
subject. First they took it apart and checked the tolerances, then ran it a
number of hours on virgin vegetable oil, then measured the tolerances again.
They found significant wear.
I think Elsbett or some other
No study to quote, but comparing the results of studies based on a small
Diesel engine and a VW Diesel engine to running the same fuel in a
Mercedes Diesel engine like comparing apples to oranges.
I'm only hoping that my VW Diesel will last half as long as an MB Diesel
would.

It is also true that some on this list and others that I know if have gotten
40,000 miles or more using WVO as fuel in a 123.

From what I find at PnP, you have it nailed down. The VW will last almost
half as long as your MB, unless you crash the car.

Sorry Luther, these cars are meant to run for at least a million miles, as
stated endlessly in countless CL listings. I would expect to be able to do
that sort of engine life on any fuel I could find that would detonate on
compression. Why do you limit yourself to such low mileage?
