I may have to put a new starter in my 85 300sd 126. I have an 81 &83 300d i can get one from. Thanks

as long as it's not a california car I see no problems... even the cali might work... but I am not sure.

4cylinder and 5 cyilnders both interchange starters. 6cyilnders interchange starters but will not fit any 4 or 5 cylinders. (starter is on the opposite side of the engine)

1981 240d (engine donor 1983 240d) recently rebuilt engine hurray! - No more.. fought a tree and the tree won.

pearl black 1983 240d 4speed (Converted!@$$%) atleast the tranny was rebuilt.

The 83 is the same as the 85.

The 240D had a weaker starter than the 300s. Not sure if the turbo starter is different from the non turbo 300.

So it sounds like i can take either the 81300d starter or a 83 300d euro starter and put it on my 85 300sd turbo. Right?

as long as its a 617 engine
