The 240D has a real achilles' heel, though. I know two people who had them, both wound up with cracked sleeves in one cylinder. They're evidently a real b*tch to re-sleeve, possibly because of the high pressures and shock loads that the diesel combustion process creates.
One guy ditched his (bought a new diesel Bug instead), the other guy parked his and was searching for a good used motor. And searching. And searching... --DD |
