Titivating my Mercedes 124
Discussion
Actually, the OM606 is a very fine engine indeed. It is smooth, efficient, strong and reliable. They last forever. I had it to bits for a timing chain and rails at about 260,000miles and it was unworn at the top and bottom. Were it to let me down, however, I have promised myself a turbo-charged OM606 together with a 722.6 five speed automatic transmission from a later w210 from www.dieselpumpuk.com . Nothing silly, just standard tune.

That sounds VERY interesting... My four year old and I changed the oil, oil filter, fuel filter, fuel pre-filter and the antenna mast this morning, all Merc parts. I bought 20 litres of 10w 40 semi-synthetic oil for £30 at Euro Car Parts the other day and had 2 litres already in stock (the car takes 7), so the whole business cost less than £50 and £20 of that was the antenna. The boy was genuinely helpful, holding stuff and passing tools. It was last serviced less than two months ago but it has done 5,000miles since then. We've got some heavy driving coming up so I thought I'd better see to it.
