Car has been running fine but doesn't sound the same as my old 190D. I hear an odd ticking/grinding sound at lower RPMs (gone in neutral), which I'm told is caused by the timing marks on the gas flywheel. Fuel economy isn't quite on par with the old car and having to shift into 5th at higher speeds seems like a definite factor, in addition to being inconvenient at times.

I have acquired the proper diesel flywheel, but might hold off installing it until I can find a 717.410 (hopefully someone wants to trade?)
