According to my indie, who is an MB and German car specialist, the main problem FDs get with age is that the diaphragm stretches to the point where it actually can block the fuel outlet on the upper chamber. If this happens, you'll have one or more cylinders that just won't get any gas under certain conditions. This is what happened on my 560SEL, and is why he replaced it with one from a car he had out back. He didn't even charge me for it (wow!) so I know he's not BSing me.
