Anyone know anything or have any factory info on this system? I looked
through the service manual CD and only found the repair procedures, no
info on how this thing works. Looks pretty complex.

That's a good point, I think that a damaged or partially plugged
injector line could cause problems like this, but it would be a pretty
rare event. Worth looking at.

No problems today, only thing I did was change the main fuel filter. I
consider this solved, although I still plan to change the tank strainer
eventually (have had the parts for several years now).
Guy here at the office stood and watched while I changed the filter
yesterday during lunch break.
To me, smells rich sounds like a glow plug of bad injector spray pattern.
If the problem goes away when hot, I'd vote for the bad glow plug.

I can't seem to get my instrument cluster to behave properly. I think the
problem is the dimmer switch - the dash lights don't work. The speedometer
isn't working either. So I'm wondering if anyone might have a parts car with
an instrument cluster in it?Pictures of the car are at:
yea, but that would usually clear up after a minute or less.

The vacuum pump on my 95 E300D disintegrated. So the pumps from that year

And Marshall was correct. There is a cam mounted on the front of the fuel

After thinking my local dealer had done a good job, today I get a call from my

I don't remember any other openings in that oil pan.
Some other OM60x engines (like the 603?) have a large plate on the right

But these 606 variants have a fully enclosed sump.

Thanks Dwight -
I appreciate you jogging my memory - Fortunately, I took the car back to
the dealer who double and triple checked the ATF level. I am pretty
confident they set it correctly as I mentioned just the problem you
mentioned - and now I'm on record as being unsure of the level.
I have been told by several good transmission mechanics that it does not hurt
to over fill an auto transmission. If it is too full, it will just overflow
thru the dipstick tube and not damage the trans.
