Anybody figure out a way to diagnose and work on the fuel side of a 606 engine ? That big intake manifold system completely covers the entire driver side of my 606.910 engines. And it's always a PITA to diagnose and repair fuel leaks, fuel injection, and idle problems because you cannot see or reach anything on that side of the engine with the engine fully assembled and running. And I don't think you can run the engine with the intake manifold removed. It is not near as convienient as working on a 617 (and I presume 602, 3 or 4 engines).
I've had limited success removing the body underside covers and laying under the car with it up on blocks. But this feels dangerous and what you can safely reach and manipulate from underneath is pretty limited. To repair anything on the FI pump side, you have to guess what the problem is, then invest a couple of hours removing and replacing the crossover and intake manifold to change some part or make adjustment. Then start the engine to see what effect it had. Usually you have to repeat that whole procedure over and over until you guessed the correct fix. I keep a stock of intake manifold gaskets to do this. Am I going about this all wrong? Has anybody else with a '95 E300D found an easier way to work on this side of the engine?
