Somebody in the Greater Washington section of the MBCA should have a
connection up there. If you can't find an MB DIesel enthusiast up
there, you sure ly can find a good MB Diesel mechanic who could be
paid to drive over and look at it, or have the PO drive it to the
shop and leave it there for you.
A phone call to the PO may yield some info. Does it miss all the
time? Does it get better as the engine warms? Does it smooth out as
the RPM goes up?
If either of the latter 2 questions are YES, then you have a better
chance of driving it home without problem. As an alternative to
paying someone to look for it, you could get a rebuilt injector
assembly from Q and take it with you. Pay the PO, drive it a out of
sight, and crack lines to see which cylinder is the culprit, then
install the rebuilt injector, and see if it is ok after that.
Okay, I accidentally bought a car off of eBay.
Don't ask how...
I got it VERY cheap and it is a rust free diesel w124 in SWMBO's
favorite color. (SWMBO is tired of the tired w123) I can fix
mechanical
things, Rust cancer is another story. Now, I have to get this car home.
The cheapest route would be fly out to Baltimore, MD. and drive it
home. One problem though,
the car has a miss. Doesn't burn motor oil, it just doesn't hit on
all five. So...
Do I fly out and fix what I assume to be wrong (injector or glow
plug) and hope for the best?
Do I find a local to the car indy to t/s first?
Or do I contract a carrier to haul it home?
Decisions, decisions.
