Chris,

I got my 91 350SDL almost 6 years ago at 79 kmi. 'Few months later I noticed a "skip" at idle. MB dealer tech. showed me MB notice about the prob. at # 1 cyl. MB refused to "help" with repair. 'Few weeks later, I had decided to "bite the bullet" & get repairs done. Couple of days before appointed time to repair re. skip, timing chain broke at 89 kmi!! MB refused couple of times to help with repairs. MB finally paid 50% of parts. Much work to top of engine, new valves, lifters, guides, seals, shaved head, lots of stuff I don't remember. No work on lower part of engine. Car doing great since; now at 144 kmi. Fantastic car!! Best riding, best driving I've had! Hard to beat!!
