Best Answer

The answer is yes and no. If the engine is turbo diesel then yes it is a good diesel engine. If there is no turbo do not rely on this engine. The non-turbo engines are almost like a human without lungs and they do not perform at peak levels. Although the German engineers can pull off most anything... I do not recommend the non-turbo engines. The turbo engines can go into the 300,000 mile markers if the engine is maintained well and you might end up having to change the turbo at the 250,000 thousand marker.
