Recently the problem? of a single timing belt was discussed and a MB tech foreman wrote that it was never a recall but a Shop Memo. OK, my recently purchased '81 380 SL has a single belt, but my trusted non-MB mechanic said it was in "good" shape. The car has 116,000 miles, runs and sounds fine, but only gets about 10-12mpg even after a tune-up, and I have virtually no history.
Should I be worried? What does a single to double timing belts conversion cost? I will probably need to get the fuel injectors fixed soon as a couple leak. Would combining these jobs save money?
