[diesel_mercedes] Fuel Economy Check 1984 300CD Automatic

 

405 miles , 24 MPG .


$2.25 / Gallon .


To - day I spotted numerous local Gasolineras with $2.19 / Gallon Diesel fuel .


Maybe we're finally getting a small , short lived break .

[diesel_mercedes] Thu. 1/14

 

 I got a nice bix box in the mail from Peach Parts yesterday , it contains both the oil cooler to engine hoses my '84 TD needs .

Only the upper one is weeping but the labor involved makes it a smarter move to replace both whilst I'm in there .

Sadly mercedes stopped making these parts , my bet is : if you're on the fence about buying some OEM Mercedes part you'd better get on it ASAP .

I have the car in my driveway @ home , driver's door still disassembled waiting for the WWI Surplus Gun Grease to show up , i'm looking forward to addressing the door checks , weeping oil hoses and a few other small things so I can get it out of my hair and get back to the 240D and then the heater issues on my beloved Sports Coupe...

I got ours at Costco (or maybe Sams Club) maybe 5 years ago. Happy as a bug in a rug, but you will need 2 or 3 strong bodies to make it happen. Price was in the $750-$1000 range but I would do it again in a heartbeat.
