I was going to take the car into the tech session last Saturday at the MB dealership to address the IP timing but I had an opportunity to pick up a crack free dash and that took most of the day just driving.

I have half a mind to just go in there and line up the two marks and see what that does. My other 300SD has more Diesel clatter than the one we are talking about. The exhaust on the new car does not smell as rich, either.
