Re: [MBZ] Damn 606 intake manifold

2007-10-14 Thread Vik Momjian
Hello Ned ,

I agree it's a PITA to have to remove the intake ! My 617s (126 and 123) are a 
breeze to work on
as compared to the 606. 

My MB tech/mechanic friend who replaced the delivery valve seals showed me that 
you could start
and run the engine with the intake off if diagnosing fuel leaks. The engine did 
run rough, but it
beats assembling and disassembling back and forth.

If you do find alternate methods , please share !!!

regards,

Re: [MBZ] 1996 E300D OM606.912 delivery valve diesel leak

2007-09-30 Thread Vik Momjian
Thank You All for the replies !

Unfortunately , the O rings and copper gasket/seals I got from the dealership 
were not the correct
size ! We discovered this after removing one delivery valve (all the way in 
front of the IP).
Now as if this wasn't bad enough,
(all local dealership parts depts closed on Saturdays and these are dealer ONLY 
items) 
when we put everything back together , the car would not start !
Tried bleeding the lines ,replaced fuel filter (filled with ATF to prime) , 
NOTHING !

After trying for 3 hours, reversing all the steps and trying again ,draining 
the battery a few
times while cranking ,we finally gave up and decided that I would have the car 
towed to the
dealership he works at on Monday to have him and a diesel expert work on it.

Since I got your tips re. torque specs much later , we marked the delivery 
valve with a notch
before removing it and put it back by lining it up with the notch, crude I know 
, but we were not
prepared with the info needed

Any suggestions before the dealer takes me to the cleaners on Monday ?

ANY HELP WOULd BE MUCH MUCH APPRECIATED 

Thanking you all in advance,

Jim, since the parts were incorrect, we DID NOT replace them, we just closed 
everything back up in
order to ge the correct parts and start all over again.

Thanks for the BOSCH website info.

Harry , I would have ordered from Rusty , but my friend the Mercedes mechanic 
at the dealership
got the parts according o the VIN from the dealership parts dep. I guess the 
guy at the counter
messed up !

Thanks again for everyone's input and tips !!

Dear Dr. Booth (or anyone on the list with first hand knowledge of 606.912 IPs)

I will be changing the rubber seals/O ring and copper(?) gasket from the 
leaking IP tomorrow
morning.
A friend of mine who works at the local MB dealer will bring the special socket 
to loosen the
lines.
My question is this: when closing everything back up, are there torque 
specifications, or just
tighten with care to not crush the rubber seal/ O ring .

My friend has never done this type of repair and he is NOT a diesel mechanic, 
so he does NOT have
the answer. Hoping someone from the list will reply by Sat. late morning 
pacific time.

Thanking you all in advance,

Thanks Ned ,
I had planned to replace those anyway, but I'm seeing the leak originating from 
the top of the IP
where the metal lines connect. Do any of yours leak from there?
How many miles do yours have?
Mine has 197200 miles.
Thanks again for the response.
