New to Diesel
Hi, Just got a '93 300D 2.5 Turbo. Wondering if anyone has any comments on the model, i.e., reliability, mileage, satisfaction with the car? I had done a bit of research and it seemed like a good model. Have not picked it up yet. I did notice the lenses over the fog lamps are cloudy, are replacements available? Thanks in advance..

RE: New to Diesel
Used to own 92 model.
For people putting lot of miles, not too many better cars on the road. Averaged 36 MPG @ 70 MPH. Someone is selling one right here. After 300,000 miles had few gaskets to replace, but made it drip-free. The headlights door seems to be MB constant issue. Plastic doesn't like sunshine. You can buy replacement. ..... after you refinance the house. |
RE: New to Diesel
I bought DEPO after market Euro headlights. They are a very good copy of the original Bosch lights and feature all glass lenses and come with bulbs and vacuum beam adjuster. I bought mine off Ebay for $260 It took me a couple of hours to install. New Bosch lights are around $500 to $600
Change oil every 3K or 5K if using synthetic oils. Change fuel filters twice a year, brake fluid changed/flushed every 2 years, transmission fluid every 15K, air filter twice a year. Good luck with your new ride, hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine...... |
