[disbo100]

Hey folks,




** Like an Aging Supermodel .. my baby needs some work!!

I know its one of the most sought after and stylish diesels that Benz ever made which is why I bought it!!


About 6 months ago my water pump broke on a long trip... didnt notice the gauge until it was ALMOST too late after running in the RED for a good bit.. I got it back to the house put in a new water pump and all seemed to be OK... Well a few months later it has slowly been losing power and then DIED on the way to work.

I got it running again but has low compression around 225-260 PSI in different cyl. The previous owner and I have run bio/veg/and diesel in it which Im sure didnt help...

I thought I would attempt pulling the head check out the gasket and go from there.

Well I finally decided that it is over my head (no pun intended) and Im looking to sell it as is..

Its been sitting for a while but still turns over and stays running but Im too much a WUSS to take it out.. if I havent killed the battery yet.

Basics: 285K miles, Great body, glass, leather all around in GREAT shape.
Here are some pics.

Just needs engine work or a transplant engine I would think?

Most that have commented on the car feel that it needs a good cyl flushing to get the compression up which would drastically reduce the effort/expense to get up and running. Not sure just passing it on.

$2300 and it would need to be towed from St Augustine, FL 32092

I tried to add the pics but the program wont let me since I used them in the other post??

Shoot me a PM or email below with your email and I can send more pics. I will also take some more and post here.
