Wasn't there a thread on this not long ago. My recollection then, and please correct me if I am wrong, is that only engines before a certain date needed oil actually added to the injection pump. I thought I had determined that my 1976 115 300D was new enough to lube the injection pump via the engine oil and did not need to look for a plug to pour oil into the pump itself. If that is not true, please correct me as I will do it and hope my predecessors had enough sense to do so as well.

I'm assuming, then, that pumps on a 617 and 603 are mechanically governed and not vacuum goverened? I do understand the difference in how they are lubed. > Sorry for another stupid question... ALL of the Bosch inline pumps are expected to be lubricated with engine oil! Apparently SOME owners didn't know this (there is of course the suggestion that the maintenance booklet be read). I guess there are people that don't think you need to add or change engine oil too!
