I changed my oil in February this year and I've topped it up once and it's been 2000+ mi. since the oil change.
I have the gallon of Delvac 1 and I never really took account of how much I had to put. last time it was down to a lil more than half-way between min and max. But after the oil change it was only filled up to about 3mm from the max line.
I really don't know what leaks. I had the dealer (LONG time ago when I was a noob) check it out and they said "rear and front main seal and valve cover" not very informative and just said "thousands of $$ to fix" so I just lived w/ it.
I think the rear windows are actually reliable! I've used them a lot when it's hot in summer and when it was nice in the very short spring.
Lower control arms squeaked but not anymore... I've decided that I'm just gonna leave them alone for now.
It's not original paint. I believe it had been repainted. After looking at my jack points im pretty sure that the PO had the rust spots around them fixed. However the driver's side front jack has started bubbling again!!
I don't have stuff from the PO. I feel kinda bummed out now that I still bought this car but I guess it's been reliable.
diesel sports car
hehehe I guess the coupe adds to that 'feel'
But I honestly think the W124 250D Turbos are really sweet diesels
they just don't look as good as the 123 I think...
it still amazes me whenever I look at the 123 compared to my E420...the 300CD just looks cooler!
