Re: [MBZ] 617s suck

When I look at the 617 sitting in my 300SD there seems to be all kinds of room 
around it compared to the E500. Never done the turbo drain though.

[MBZ] 617s suck

2024-06-19 Thread Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes
I just worked on a 617 for the first time in probably 10-15 years. The agenda 
was turbo train tube seal, valve adjustment, oil/filter change, hood release 
cable. I finally got the turbo drain tube out after fighting it for 4 hours. 
This is nothing short of a whore of a job. Taking apart a 642 for an oil cooler 
seals job seems easier. I now remember why the 617 sucks to work on. It’s now 
nearly 100 out in the shop and I’m done messing with it.
