Dunno if 30 sec would be long enough to prime the system but Alex has been through this cycle several times now and has fuel at the injectors so I'd guess it *should* be primed by now.
I'm thinking if it were mine I'd take the idea of running the "new" battery in the known good car for a couple hours to get it topped up. A battery tender is likely only charging at 2-3a which might not even be enough to beat internal resistance if the battery has been slightly damaged by running it down. If that didn't work I'd pull it... ;) Anybody remember that I actually got to try pull starting my '84 190D auto trans a couple months ago? Pulled it with a co-workers Infiniti, he was terrified through the whole procedure but quite proud afterward. -Curt Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2011 17:37:11 -0400 From: Max Dillon <meadedil...@bellsouth.net> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] 603 filter change, cranking forever Message-ID: <52f2ecbc-2e68-4e0e-b1a8-b7d5e5a5a...@email.android.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Unless the fuel system is not yet fully primed?
