They are all turbos in the US from 82 on. And calling a sedan a 300TD because it is a turbo diesel is just out right wrong and offensive the the true TD owners.  |
Oh, I understand his irritation. I just think it borders on a neurosis. Just for your info the E300 diesel in '95-97 was not turbo charged. So not all diesels from MB were turbo charged after '82.
TDT is so widely used that it is accepted by some people north of Texas.
Now when you call a sedan a TD, that is just ignorant.
The opinions expressed above are not meant to annoy any forum members, well maybe Jimmy, but I like him.
