Re: [MBZ] W123 - 240D - Engine heater plug
The 617 in the '76 300D started great with M1 at -5, but would hardly crank with dino oil without the engine heater. ou are right - the 60x engines are a whole different story - great engines all around.

Re: [MBZ] 123 SLS pump leaking?
Philip, et al. There is a rebuild kit available from Rusty for the 123 wagon pump. The pump can lose its' seals and get engine oil in the reservoir. So maybe it can leak the other way too?

Thoughts? My 2.3-16 had a leak in the fabric covered suction hose between the reservoir and the pump. I didn't notice anything when I bought the car, even though the seller told me he topped it off that morning before driving it 100 miles to our meeting place. A couple of days later the reservoir was empty, I would have thought a leak that big would be a lot more noticeable than it was.

Re: [MBZ] Sadie
One thing I've noticed, is that a Mercedes that's accurately described and fairly priced tends to sell quickly. If you ever see one on the market for months, or continually being re-listed, it's either overpriced or something is wrong that has not been disclosed.
