Okay, not as impressive as Stan (go Stan!), but since I know many others drive VWs, some insight. The new turbos, the IS ones, use electronic wastegates. And they fail.
Right there with you buddy. It's sitting right outside the window in front of my desk. Turns out that parts for a 30+ year old Mercedes are far more plentiful than a 30+ year old Land Cruiser. Seems that the folks at Mercedes believe that the vehicles they make will live forever and support them with parts supply, unlike our friends at Toyota.
We have looked at several 380SLs and told the sellers of our plans. A couple were perhaps a bit disturbed but the guy we bought this one from was thrilled. He wants to see it being built and when finished.
After a good bit of reading on the subject I believe I will be pulling out the entire electrical harness and replacing it with an aftermarket harness. Mercedes electrical seems to have a bad rep, although not nearly as bad as British Leyland.
