Re: '84 240DL a bit tired. 200 1984

Praetorian,

How many miles on the car?

Lack of power could be due to many factors. Has the catalytic convertor ever been replaced? It could be partially clogged. The injectors might also be gummed up. How new/old are your fuel 'n air filters?

What are the compression values for each of the 4 cylinders?

If the oil has been changed regularly, the engine should not have excessive wear.
