more smoke and no safety if the turbo waste gate fails (melted pistons may
result).

Nicks are in the case (outer), so RTV would certainly work except that MB says
"nien" for fear some excess will clog a piston-cooling oil jet.

The two dimples have raised edges which deform the seal, so the edges need to

alternator, you can take it to the FLAPS and let them test it easy

I've read somewhere that MB transmissions are designed/tuned to expect "normal"
power and torque from the engine they are bolted to. An engine which is not
providing full power is easily mis-diagnosed as a transmission problem, because
the shifting is wrong. That may be what happened to you.
Neither my OM603 nor my OM606 work like that.

My guess would be a leak allowing air into the injection pump, either a rubber

That car can more fairly be priced by evaluating the condition during a road
