About the 3.0 liter six cylinder diesel engine in the later W126 cars - I know that most here on this site are concerned about cracked heads and overheating on this engine, but I've discussed this with the legendary Enrique at Mr. MB Motors in Southern California, and he swears that the newer engine is a better engine than the five cylinder, and doesn't have a high failure rate of cracked heads and overheating.
