Diesel's and stuff 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Clayton on  Wed Apr 13 05:48 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Well I have worked on them - 240's, 300's turbo and not turbo. They smoke. They smell. They toss timing chains. They leak oil. Whatever you save in fuel you will spend on other things on a Benz, so the idea that a Benz diesel is a cost saving is crazy.
The "Volvo" diesel, being a VW Audi piece of crap I will admit is worse. They are all pre-chamber engines and they smoke and smell.
A Benz diesel is like having a Lear Jet with a Jet ski engine. Why bother.
A Peterbilt is great with a diesel. So is a Hatteras. Not a car.
