Try a search - there's quite a bit of information on 112 and 113 motors having oil use problems - ring problems requiring major engine overhauls. Apparently MB has been helping with the cost in many cases. This is what scares me about 112/113 motors - the prospect of needing a bottom end overhaul. Say what you will about 104/119 motors - they don't have bottom end problems, or even top end problems for that matter. As these 112/113 cars decline in value the need for a bottom end overhaul, combined with the difficulty of doing modern engine swaps, is likely to send a lot of these cars to their premature graves.
