Title: Anyone here who likes MB diesels?
Post by: Fredrikkk on September 13, 2011, 08:05:28 am

Look at this video, of a fellow on the Norwegian VAG forum.

MB 190E with an OM606 engine with an Eaton M90, and soon to be turbo!

I had an '85 190d for a winter.  Loved it, but hated the automatic.  My Rabbit was about 10 times more fun to drive though, better mileage, cheaper ect, so I ditched it.....Everyone has a phase I guess  :P The W201 is a wonderful piece of engineering though, I'll have another someday.  

Here is another 190 video.  With a 24v!

That red one had 24 valve engine too when my friend bought it few years ago. He wanted more power and changed 2,8 gasser. Dynoed 560hp (disapointed) and drove 11,5/127mph at quarter. Nice daily driver ;D Best with diesel was 426hp and 12,8/~112mph. Om606 is easily capable lots of more power.
