I have a 1993 300SD with 70K miles. It has a bad engine. Most of
these 3.5 L diesel engines will fail prematurely. For a good summary of
the problem see: http://www.mbz.org/complaints/350D/ MB is unwilling to
accept responsibility for their flawed design. I have a law license,
and intend to obtain the data, through litigation, to ascertain whether
MB committed fraud and other torts in conjunction with the design,
manufacturing, and marketing of the vehicles sold with the subject
engine.

I invite anyone with a vehicle that has (or has previously owned) the
subject engine to e-mail me.
