I have an 87 300TD which has the rare 603 6cyl, iron block, aluminum head engine.

I'm considering another purchase...like the W124 body....so I'm curious which engine do the later model W124 300D's have....??

MB engine code ?
Cyls? (5, I think ?)
Turbo or non-turbo?
Iron Block?
Iron or Aluminum Head?

What kind of reputation does it have?

More or less powerful than the 603?
