5 cylinder Mercedes Benz?

[Ben Swann]

While perusing the local bonyard, something caught my eye.  I looked at what appeared to
be a five cylinder intake manifold on a Mercedez Benz Sedan.  Closer inspection revealed
indeed it was an inline five cylinder diesel engine and I was tempted to pull the intake
runners because of the effficient looking design.    The displacement as I could read
was around 2.4 l   and it had as I recall  the layout of a crossflow head similar to the
inline 5 cylinder 20V engines in our Audis. 

The model year was 1986 and I'm just looking for more information on this particular
engine and seeing if there is any merit to obtaining the intake and or exhaust or any
other parts of this unique (too me) engine.

I'm not real familiar with M-Benz, but looked over the car and it really seemed to have
quite Volkwagon like electronics, switches, relays, etc.
