question about 3 liter 1984 turbo diesel 5 cyl
I am looking to buy a MB that has the 3 liter turbo diesel 5 cylinder. Is this one of the more reliable motors?
|
the most reliable out of all the 61x series is probably the 616 in the 240D... but if you want to be able to beat the schoolbus off the line the om617(turbo) which is reliable will be your best bet, its all a mater of prevenative maintence and keeping watch on everything that makes anything reliable imho
|
Forgive me for my ignorance, but which motors are which? I am not totally familiar with the engine codes just yet.

The 617 is a five cylinder engine and was put in the 300D(sedan), 300CD(Coupe), and 300TD(Wagon) starting in 77 or 78 depending on the model, and continuing until 85. All of these got turbos in or around 81.
The 616 is what is in the 240D, which is a 4 cylinder engine. These are all the w123 style MB's, which are great, durable, riliable cars, IF taken car of. This website has some good info. http://home.hiwaay.net/~gbf/mbmodels.html |
There r 7 engines that are recurrently discussed in this forum:
Om615= 2.2Liter 4 cylinders Om616=2.4liters 4 cylinders Om617= 3 liters 5cylinders om601= 2.0L;4 cylinders Om602= 2.5L;5cylinders om603=3.0L;6cylinders om606=3.0L;6cylinders |
