Yes, in fact at the top of the diesel page there is a sticky thread that says something to the fact of DIY sites. One of the links inside that thread is for detailed, pictured instructions on converting to the "newer" type. I haven't heard as much about 115 leaking as 123's, but 115's will be due for windshield seal replacement so check the floorboards no matter where the car is located! If the seal's been done, that would be a good sign of good care by the PO, if it hasn't been done and hasn't rusted the floors from leaking water, then have it done ASAP! BTW, get the seal at the dealer, the aftermarket ones don't seal right, ask how I know? The ones at the dealer are of course more money, but well worth it since you won't have to have it done twice before learning. Others will tell you the same...

Thanks
David
