Hello! I have a 1985 Mercedes 300Turbo Diesel. I love this car. It only has
161,000 mi. on it, and I expect it to go for at least another 150,000. I recently moved to Portland, OR from a Suburb of San Francisco. I have a very steep winding driveway, and it is often wet. THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO GO UP THE DRIVEWAY. I have no idea what to do. Either it's not powerful enough, or it's to large, or the tires aren't sticking or something! It's very frustrating. This is my first car, and I don't want to sell it...but it seems rather pointless to keep a car that can't even make it up your driveway. If anyone can PLEASE help me with this I would greatly apreciate it. If there's anything that I can do to make this car get up the damn driveway I want to know. I absolutly love this car, and I don't want this to be it. Also...if anyone knows about how fast a TurboDiesel is supposed to go I would like to know. I have had several people tell me that there's something wrong with it because it won't go much past 80. Thanks so much!!! ~Hannah Jane- posted
