300td

Hello, the level is low in the reservoir and I have had quotes of £16/L for the MB stuff (001 989 2003). That was the number on top of the reservoir. My qestion is that would it be wise to dump the stuff that is in there as the car has done 160K miles with no B-service. I had work done on...
