What is the condition of the oil trap in the air filter? I believe you
said it was OK, but don't remember. If split or leaking, it will dump
quite a bit of oil down the intake -- ditto if the valve at the bottom
of the return tube is bad, it can actually suck oil up out of the
crankcase at

WHA? Valve at the bottom of the return tube? Didn't know there was one
there..are you talking oil return tube???
The oil trap was swapped out with one from the 74kmi '82 300D and no change.
Turbo has been swapped also.

Yup, there is supposed to be a foot valve on the air filter oil return
line, I do believe (although I've been wrong a lot lately).
The guts have to be in place in the oil trap, too -- it's a
centrifugal filter, so the inlet pipe must be at an angle. Don't
remember what it looks like any
Every winter (I, of course, use that term loosly by back east brothers) my
drivers door becomes difficult to close. I almost have to slam it shut when
temps get below 50 or so. Now it is even more difficult just having replaced
the door seal. When it's warm out, it closes fine.
What's this
Catch strap or door check is currently out of the car having just last
week replaced the door seal.

There's also the control rod adjustments -- that engine (OM605) has a
throttle plate - if the rods are out of whack, it might be closed
more than it should, thus restricting the air. It's covered in the
manual, which I no longer own ---

Bob,
My drivers door was difficult to close - there's a bracket on the door post
with a hole in it for the lock mechanism on the door to fit into - mine had

that first. A few drops of some gelling oil helps to make the

BTW, how do you adjust the doors?
Wrenches? The striker in the door frame adjusts, as do the
hinges. You don't touch the hinges unless the door doesn't
look aligned correctly at the front and the top versus bottom.
The striker moves
Most likely the striker plate is out of adjustment (or the door has
sagged a bit on the hinges). I would recommend having someone with
the correct tool adjust the striker, it can be a real PITA without it.
Lubricate the latch assembly as well, I think white lithium grease is

Long time no problems, the old tank has been running fine but it only has

As I drive the interstates, I marvel at how much land is there that
