Because it's my car, and I can't afford another. And it's in good condition, its worth about 2.5k and only has 138,000kms on it.
I don't mind spending 40-50 bucks on a service than couple hundred on a new pump.
Excellent point. If in good overall condition, with no set of signs of nagging issues that will errode money, the car is worth what it costs to replace it.
One thing that folks from the MB diesel community found was that the cars were specced for ATF, but often got filled with MB PSF. When going back to ATF after long times of PSF use, they tended to leak. Say what you want about deposits, detergents, etc., I would stick with what has historically been in there if it is working well.
In my BMW, speced for dex II, I use M1 ATF with great results.
