I was taken the first time I saw all of these profiles. Didn't realize wvo can work (w/o problems) in 2005 tdi's etc, and now a CDI. The pressure at the injector is much higher on the new cars...if the wvo is too cold the viscosity will degrade the injector nozzles, for starters. Too hot and reduced lubricity at the fuel pump is a concern. Just my thoughts, I can't prove it. Mabee the owner has so much money that it is not a major concern if the common rail parts get coked from wvo. I can just picture the car in the same lot as the rusted escorts that his employees probably drive. Perhaps this one wouldn't stand out as much: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.frybrid.com/images/300sdlpic.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.frybrid.com/gallery.htm&h=218&w=270&sz=17&tbnid=hi5MLgyJBF0J:&tbnh=87&tbnw=108&hl=en&start=7&prev=/images%3Fq%3D1987%2Bsdl%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%2 The eigth one down, '87 SDL. Less electronics and not as costly to repair a wvo related problem. Teal green looks great too.

Nice clean installation though. Other than the bare copper lines you almost couldn't tell that doesn't belong there

I can't even afford to buy oneof those much less afford to take the chance with a WVO conversion on one after having bought one...

I hear you. I hope I can afford a 2005/06 cdi in 2015. Seeing the track record of mercedes should be some excellent and reasonably priced ones by then. Unless diesels become so scarce which they may
