 a properly tuned and maintained mercedes diesel will last for over 1
 million miles. If I could swap that motor into my van, especially the
 newer TD's that mercedes is making, my van would haul but! It is a big

I have a Rabbit diesel with 280k on the oringinal motor, with great
compression still (450 lbs compression), starts and runs just like new,
doesn't even smoke. Wow, this car is great. Replace the injectors every 90k
and the motor will last for a long time. Michael M.87 syncro
