5 cylinder Mercedes Benz?

[urq]

Yes, various manufacturer's employed the 5 banger over time ... Audi is
likely the one where 5 pot use was the most widespread.  

It was MBz that ran the commercial ... "Ven I proposed ze fife zylinder
enchine dey ahll laffed" ... which I've heard some attribute to Audi ... 

After all, everyone knows that four is two small and six is too large!  :-)

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.
