a good way to determine euro is to determine the rear diff ratio. us cars had 247, euro 224. it will tell by the hash marks on the speedo. check yours and report to us and we will tell you which you have, if you havent figured it out already.

if it is a euro i beleive it will be quicker and get better fuel economy. but it will require premium, and my us version takes rug.

good luck with it

I'll get the VIN tomorrow a pic in a couple of days. The person is going away for a few days and has to get the title switched to her name through probate court. I'm in no rush...I have a wonderful 300d I am going to part ways with and it gives us a chance to spend a few days together. I was going to keep it but I have no room.

Jim and everyone thanks for the information once again, I always loved this forum, great information. Looks like I'll be visiting this forum rather than the diesel forum for a while.

I'll post as soon as I get the pics and VIN.

Dwayne
