Is the MTU 8V183TE92 an original MTU engine or is this a derivative of the DD line? What information do users have about the quality, reliability of this engine and the ease of finding people to work on them? Thanks
Per these sources, it's based on a Mercedes OM 400 series engine. MTU started co-developing an engine with Detroit in 1994, and Daimler acquired the company in 2000.
