Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / June 2005300D 2.5 Questions
Why was the engine from the 190D 2.5 put into the 300D in lieu of the 3-litre engine (617?) to make the 300D 2.5, and why wasn't this model sold in California? Was the W124 300D concurrently produced with the 3-liter? Or did it return to the 3-liter engine after the 2.5 was used for a time? What's the rationale for having the engine breathe through those slots on the right fender? Why was this not used for other MBZ diesel models since then?

The cure for this is a cold air box,which isolates the air filter from the engine heat.Okay,I'm rambling on,sorry,euro gearhead! > What's the rationale for having the engine breathe through > those slots on the right fender? |
