MBDiesel.net - An Owner's Journey

This site's intentions are to detail the trials and tribulations of ownership and maintenance of our several Mercedes Benz diesel-engined automobiles - more specifically, the OM61x series engines as found in the w123 and w116 chassis. What started off as a hobby with a lone 240D has now turned into, well, an addiction of sorts. All of the cars we now own are Mercedes. Our newest car is 25 years old, and our oldest is 34.

We've been active members - and sometimes contributors - to the online MB community since roughly late 2000. MBDiesel.net exists as part photoblog, part hobby, and part soapbox. Most of the time, I'll post photo series of the more common repair jobs for the beginner DIYers out there. Occasionally, I can't do that because it takes too short of a time to actually do the repair than it does to photograph it. Sometimes I may just use this site to rant about car-related topics. You'll just have to come back every now and again and find out.
