I have no experience with the Mercedes line, but I'd think at 159 you have ALOT of miles left in it..
Some thoughts: Since it sat, it could be possible the rings set up.. I'd try to do a compression check and see where it falls.
Could also be injector problems, dumping excess fuel. If the compression check turns out, I'd have the injectors pop tested.

Worked it hard, never seemed to consume much more, but I know it had a turbo issue, as it was blowing oil on the firewall, and you could see the oil all over the inside of the turbo.
When I junked it, a friend took the engine.. He robbed the injectors to be rebuilt for their 1135.. They were in need of attention the rebuilder told him, but never ran the motor with different injectors to say that would cure most of the problem.
