I just purchased our 2nd MB ('85 300TD Wagon). I've been bugging this guy to sell it to me for years. I finally purchased it but it is extremely slow, especially when cold. Once up to speed and warm it cruises with the best of them. The owner's theory is that the emissions testing (adjusting) done when the car was brought over messed it up. He has never been able to figure it out. So he just lived with it for 200k miles. The car is mint but I'm hoping to gather some ideas from you guys to speed it up a bit. My '84 300D-T is a rocket compared to this one. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
