Saraswatch, If you go to a 3:07 Differential in a 240D, you just might be gearing it up too high. the stock 240D diff is 3:69, and the horse power of the engine is 67HP.

There is the 3:46 from the 300D none turbo.

I installed a 3:58 from a grey mkt car in our 240. this change is 3% & I do see a change in speed when I hit the hills. It drops off sooner.

If you do change the Differential, then get the Speedometer from that vehicle. the spedo is geared to the Diff.

Anyone that thinks a 240D is slow drives too fast.
