It also has various versions. The germans are quite precise- myself not so- so i guessed. 617A 300-TD is not a mercedes engine designation- but the 300TD has a 617 in it. So does the Mog. You are a newbie that seems to be just starting to ask about the engine so I guessed you used incorrect nomenclature. Others here will post the facts and figures pdf's that will corroborate this.
