    i have been driving a w210 with the OM606 for a year now but with significantly more power ( i drive it with a borgwarner s200 and a 7.7mm diesel pump from dpuk along with its billet manifold and billet intake manifold and water methanol injection ( the car has 450 hp on the crankshaft and that for 80,000 km and on the complete engine are almost 420,000) ) and this engine has never had any problems and does not give the impression that anything is coming soon. By the way, the car has been running on vegetable oil for 3 months because a liter of diesel currently costs over €2.40 here

    I'd recommend no more than 20% biodiesel, it runs fine in the 606 because of the injection pump. However in the 648 the injectors shoot at a higher pressure and it is very easy to clog it up. That goes with any common rail diesel though

    I still prefer the W210 bodyshell (exterior & interior dashboard instrumentation design etc.) but with updated engines & air-suspension from W211. I never like the idea of changing too drastically the appearances from 1 generation to the next just to look 'different' as function must prevail over form. e.g. the black-white bar fuel gauge in W211 is horrible, way too difficult to read clearly compared to the classic proven swing-needle style with the amber colour needle set against warm-white character lighting...that's way more ergonomically superior presentation. As far as i'm concerned, they should have continued such old-school gauge style even for the newest models but of course nowadays done virtually via simulating the analogue gauge via high resolution graphics on modern flat panels instead.

    9:40 I have a CLK-220 CDi rocking an OM-646 and the injection pressure is 2,000 bars. 11:01 Yeah swirl-flaps $uck but luckily my 646 does not use that tech. Egr is the culprit in killing the flaps, exhaust heat plus all the gunk/sludge from egr will destroy the mechanism. 5:04 Also have an old 190-D with an OM-601 and the injection pressure is 130 bars(Lol), I think the OM 601 602 and 603 series (ala your sold W-124) differ from the OM 604 605 and 606 series(ala your W-210) in that the former have 2 valves while the latter have EDC (Electric Diesel Control) 4 valves per cylinder. Btw there's a W-210 E-290 Turbo Diesel that uses the old 1980's OM-602 5-cylinder bored and stroked from 2.5l to 2.9l with direct injection as opposed to 602's original in-direct. And also a W-202 C-200 Diesel using a 1980's OM-601, am guessing both were marketed to folks who were accustomed to the old non-electronic Merc diesels that were virtually indestructible, am sure your W-124 agrees. Heck I've seen 601 and 602's running on cooking oil with no modifications at all. 12:37 CLS-Class also has your Sensotronic Brake Control
