Wouldn't even attempt doing it myself. One thing I;ve learned over the years is that these engines are a bit beyond my "untrained" mechanical ability. What's sad is that the "old timer" German mechanics who know MB diesels inside out are all retiring and the new guys (if you can find em) are shying away from diesels altogether. Sad.

My former mechanic sold his shop 2 years ago and after 20 years with him, I'm still trying to find one I can trust. The local MB dealership - forget it. They botched my head when changing a defective glowplug and wouldn't stand behind the repair. Think I'll ever give them another shot? Unlikely
