Re: [diesel_mercedes] early 1980s 300TD wagon -- turbo?

 

Alan, Welcome to the group. The "T" in the model number means
"Touring", not "Turbo". "Touring" seems to be Eurpoean for station
wagon. You will have to verify if the individual car is a turbo. The
6 cylinders come in more luxorious(SP?) bodies and get good mileage,
but AFAIK there were no wagons. The 350s are notorious for being rod
benders, but once they have fixed by MB are OK. Bobby
