mine is a 1987 300TD four door saden and his is 300td wagon

he says his is w123 body style. I'm not sure if this makes a differance "Clara"

Dave

Yes, it makes a difference. And no, it won't fit. By the way, if your 87 is not a wagon, then it is a 300D. The T in 300TD means wagon, not turbo.

Thanks Rick

can you tell me what will fit so as I try to find one I will be able to find the right one

Thanks Dave

The W124 300D was only available here in 1987. The OM603 engine was available in the 300SDL in 86 and 87. A slightly larger version (3.5 liter) was in the S class through 1992. Sorry, but I can't tell you if the transmission from those cars would fit. Try Pat at Potomac German auto. User id "Potomac Pat" on this board, or web site http://www.pgauto.com
