Mercedes ever have a factory tachometer in a 240D?
Can't recall ever seeing one. A clock, always a clock.

i asked this question early in my 240d owning career and received the same answer then as i am imparting on you now...
you do not need a tachometer, the fuel supply is governed(?by the ip?) and this regulates the engine speed, the engine should never redline because of this. the clock is a charming piece of automotive history, enjoy it! in a year, youll wonder why you ever needed a tachometer!! in some cases, you might even try, in vain, to tell the time by your tachometer. ive found this to be true in my neon, and it is a manual transmission. i thought manual transmission cars *had* to have tachometers when i was 16. how things change in 7 years, huh?

I fail to see the logic of the MB engineers. Why would they put a clock on the manny-tranny W123's and a Tach on the automatic turbo's? It seems like it should be the other way around. Mabye having a turbocharger moves you up into a higher luxury bracket?

I know the 300D was a more expensive car new-that's why it has all the toys such as ACC, tach, power windows and locks, auto trans only, you know, all the cr@p which is always BROKEN!!!!
