hmmm. . .92. . .lemme pull from the back of my head. . .that has the Bosche VE pump. 160 horse 440 torque I believe.

I doubt the dealer would want to touch something this old and would probably try and talk you into tradeing it in. you might only have a fuel line that is loose, but if the pump itself is leaking I would say pull it off and rebuild it. better safe than sorry

the 5 speed is a mercedes 5 spd. it is ok as long as your not thrashing the thing, but it is a bit on the weak side. for more info check out TDR. there are guys on there that have some high horse 1st gens.
