These problems with the new MB diesels will be very unfortunate for the company if they are true. A lot of taxi's are new MB diesels so they're reputations will be well known. In Finland I know firsthand that many cabs are MB's. Perhaps those are the base model engines that are in fact reliable so hopefully MB won't alienate that customer base. Whatever they are, they're not that slow.
It saddens me to keep hearing these stories about Mercedes these days. Rudolf Ulenhaut would not approve.

On the bright side, I found a brand new 615, 616, 617.91 factory engine manual that I bought.
