I've heard differently, Bellamy. The early 4MATIC system found on the  
W124 from 1990-1993 was problematic. Complicated, and prone to seal  
failure.

However, the later, late-90s-introduced 4MATIC was a different  
animal, as I recall. Based on the ML system. I have not heard of many  
problems with the later system.
