Welcome to the most comprehensive diesel benz forum on the Internet.
You have an OM602 turbo. This signifies it as a 5-cylinder turbodiesel with 121 hp and 165 lb/ft of torque.
The terms 123, 124 are referring to chassis code. Yours is referred to as the 124.
I noticed you are from PEI. Great place up there. Wonder how the potato farms are doing this year. Also the beef and cattle business(with the mad cow crisis). I have relatives therebouts. Anyone who may be a Mackay, and is native to the land, is my cousin.
Expensive to fix? Depends on what you need done. They are very reliable otherwise, and quite frugal with diesel consumption.
