[diesel_mercedes] Re: From 77 240 to 85 300TD. Pros and cons.

Yep ;

Aftermarket pre - filter , clean it _gently_ and post up as much of the
label as you can find , we'll hook you up with replacement filters for
it .

'85's often have a different cannister typ air filter located behind
the right side headlight , these also have the usualy plugged u
particle filter trap on the exhaust manifold , wash the car and tak it
to yourmercedes dealer ask them to perform the recall fix and they'll
do if free , the car will run *SO* much better you'll be astounded .

My buddy bought one and fully loaded with loaed kids running flat out
on the open highway , it returned over 35 MPG's..

Enjoy ! it's a nice car .
