The turbo usually lasts the life of the car unless something gets sucked
into it. You probably have a blocked fuel enrichment line or something.

There are ups and downs to both.

there should be a white plastic thingy on the center post that has marks on
it that say "Min 20," "max 20," "min 80," and "max 80" -- those are the
different fill lines for different engine temperatures (in C). I'm 99% sure
you can use ATF - most people do I put the MB stuff in b/c it's not red.
The steering on my 'new' 124 300D seemed stiff, at least compared to the
240D. I checked the pump reservoir-it is about half full.
I can't see any marks-how full should it be?
What PS fluid besides MB or FEBI can I use that I could get locally
without going to the stealer's?
TIA.
