I have enough time to do engine oil changes, diesel purge, and body maintenance, and that's plenty for me. The rest I prefer to leave to a qualified MB mechanic. I really can't get excited about all the talk about orifices, etc. I did a while back though do an EGR valve (defective) removal/conversion, with advice on this forum from Brian Carlton. Fortunately, where I live emissions tests are not required, and if they are in the future, I have collector plates on the car that will never expire. With conservative driving habits, mileage has improved to 30 mpg from the previous 25 mpg (probably also helped that I specified the A/C be left off - a real money pit in my estimation) when the new engine was installed.
