Other than the slightly different glowplug system, I'm at a loss to think of
too many reasons why a .96 can't be substituted for a .97 If I came upon a
good deal for one of those rigs, that's exactly what I'd do. But then
again, I'd rather stick with the E-class anyway.
The preglow system is different (not any big deal at all), the computer
control is different, the EGR control is different, the wastegate is
controlled differently, The ignition/fuel shutoff is electrical rather
than just vacuum. There are LOTS of little things that MUST be
addressed. They can probably all be solved, but it isn't a "slip-in"
exchange.
