Since I got my tank patched up (no more leak, yay!) changed some fuel filters, air filters, oil change, fixed the instrument display lights, and new tires... I thought it was time to take the 240D for a spin on the Massachusetts Turnpike -- my commute drive from Metrowest Boston to Worcester.
It does pretty well on the flat, but man going uphill, particularly long steep uphills, often requires a downshift into 3rd to avoid going below 50 mph. Accelerator is pushed to the floor of course!
Is this typical performance? Granted I'm 50/50 WVO and Diesel.
Got 235k miles on this car. Recently purchased for $1100, and I have no idea when the last valve adjustment was done.
Thanks!
