Re: [MBZ] 1996 W210 E300D diesel leak
<< Thanks for the reply Ned ! 360k !! WOW ! Is that without any rebuilds ?>> VIK: No rebuilds on engine or transmission. Only things I recall replacing on the engine are the fuel injectors, glow plugs, vacuum pump, exhaust system with cat (ouch) and maybe water pump / belts / hoses type stuff. Nothing else except recommended maintenance items. Now the chassis - is a different story. It is starting to rust and having problems with the brakes, sunroof, air conditioning etc etc. Ned ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] 1996 W210 E300D Diesel leak
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.

Re: [MBZ] 1996 W210 E300D diesel leak, any..
Vic: I have 2 of the '95 E300D's with 606 engines. I believe they are mechanically very similar to your 96. Over the last couple of years, both of mine developed annoying fuel leaks. There are about 5 plastic and rubber fuel lines between the fuel filters, fuel heater, FI pump and injectors. All those hoses have o-rings on both ends. One at a time, every one of those o-rings will start to leak. Just buy all the o-rings from Rusty and an intake manifold gasket. Then take the intake manifold off and replace all the o-rings. Not a difficult job. It's cheap and solves the problem.

Re: [MBZ] 1996 W210 E300D diesel leak, any suggstions(DR.BOOTH HELP)
If it has the same pop-on plastic connectors as my 99 E300, there is an o-ring on the fuel connection to the Injector pump that often leaks and needs to be replaced. You have to slide the white plastic clip to the side before you pull up to remove the connector. On the part that came lose there is an o-ring. That's it. The unfortunate part of the story is that you need to remove the intake manifold to get to things. Since I did mine, I've been told that there are other connections that will leak and cause air to be sucked into the system. If I were doing it again, I'd replace all the o-rings I could find. -Dave Walton On 9/24/07, Vik Momjian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I just aquired a 1996 W210 E300D 197k miles everything is in FANTASTIC > condition .

I just aquired a 1996 W210 E300D 197k miles everything is in FANTASTIC condition . One thing i notice is a slow diesel leak which seems to originate from the IP. Not very sure if it is in fact the IP since it is not out in the open like on my W126 or W123. Any experience with this model or any suggestions will be much appreciated !!
