Hello all,
I recently bought a 92 300D 2.5 Turbo, what a beautiful car.

Anyway my question is the car is a little sluggish off the line, but picks up quickly after about 3 seconds of so. Actually if you leave it floored it will screech the tires as it shifts into second gear...make sure your head rest is adjusted... We had a similar problem in our 85 300TD Wagon, but over came it with adjusting the ALDA, wow what difference that made.

I was hoping that the 92 had a similar ALDA adjustment I could make, but the engine configuration is quite different and I have no idea where the ALDA is; I think it could be underneath the manifold, but not sure.

Am I correct in assuming I can adjust the ALDA to help the sluggishness as with our 85 300TD? If so how?

Thanks for any help you can give...
