Yeah, all diesels exhibit this characteristic to some degree or another - they generate much more heat under load. On the other issue, both Turnel1 and Jim Smith (the current Diesel Disscussion moderator) had 350 engines that failed the same way. There really is a problem, its just that the number of those engines in this country all small enough that Mercedes wasn't forced to deal with it in a public way.
