250 GD

There may be some in belgium though :lol:

Dirk, I know a few people in Germany have converted to the 250turbo to stay below the high taxation class and are very happy with the results but you may be looking at the standard 250

I gather that you are referring to the W460 250GD.

Basically, the engine is similar to the one fitted to the W463 300GD but with a cylinder less.

Performance is similar to the W460 300GD, but engine is much smoother and fuel consumption marginally better.

In W460 tune it delivers 84 BHP.

5-speed gearbox was standard in this model and when new it was on sale for slightly more than the 300GD. The 250 GD was fitted as standard with the lowest gearing ever offfered in a GWagen (diffs were 6.2:1).

It is a good base to fit very large tyres and the engine from a E250 Turbodiesel (or the 190 2.5 Turbodiesel)
