Oh my.....so THATS what a W126 is supposed to be ? I'm liking them more and more.
There is an '85 SD(with ABS even...) with a good body and noisy (clunky noise from inside the motor when running...  blue w/ tan seats for sale not far from me. Owner will cut a "deal" b/c of the noisy motor and I've been debating making a "project" out of it. No records or history though, he never looked into why the glow plug light never lit up, he just hit the starter (and I assume she did too...)...which makes me more wary. He said that his now ex-wife used to drive it...which makes me even more wary. I'm also trying to stay awya from automatic transmissions too (yeah, its a 240 for me someday...)ABS (big in my book), Leather, memory seats, sunroof, room in the back for real humans...lemmie check on autotrader and make sure its still there. On topic- NICE looking W126...in TN also (not as far from me as Florida) -John

Hold on a second... (after waxing poetic in my previous post)
the seller writes, "and they later released a five cylinder in 1990 for the E class, but this was the last of the old tried and true five" I understand that he is saying that his car (a 1984 W126) did have the OM617.95x, the "last of the old tried and true five" but I've never heard of a 5cyl diesel after 1985. When did MB make a 5cyl after 1985? I assume he's talking about the W124 (E-class). I thought all the diesel w124's were the OM603.xxx (?), the 6 cyl, turbo'd in the 1987 version (complete w/ alloy head) and N/A every other time. offered in 3.5l versions later on ? They didnt bring the OM617 back for a year did they ? -John

lesson 1 - you get what you pay for lesson 2 - Always make sure that oil cooler line is in good condition, hose clamps and radiator hose will not fix it. Yeah, its is a diesel, and supposed to sound klunky, but I dont think this one is doing well. My diesel sound knowledge is not as good as many though... -John

Then there's the current 5 cylinder, OM612 I think, found in the Sprinter van.
