Transfer pump (AKA Lift pump) A Bosch injection shop should be able to rebuild the pump, or new ones are available. There is an isuzu one that looks like it would work. Rick Hawkins via Mercedes wrote: Folks, i'm still driving my 1982 300td when i am not in my isuzu powered spaceship i

Any competent Bosch injection pump shop can rebuild an MW pump. You can buy larger elements for it from dieselmeken, but not much point without an intercoler plan. On Sun, Jun 24, 2018 at 6:21 AM Peter Frederick via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > No hot start on a W123 turbo is

I t also sounds like an air leak to me. One W115 I had came with a hole worn in the steel line where it entered the engine compartment from rubbing on the frame. I'd inspect every inch of that line first. Cut it a splice with a short piece of fuel hose and two clamps if you find the spot. Note

I'll throw the WVO wet-blanket, and pronounce your injection pump dead. Time for a new injection pump is my guess. Look at it this way, you did get many many miles from the car on WVO, saving fuel costs. Now it is time to spend some of those savings. Test: check a delivery valve or two for

No hot start on a W123 turbo is likely an over-adjusted rack dampener bolt. That IP is prone to engine vibration at at idle as the dampener spring ages and it can get pretty bad. On a high milage car, if you adjust out ALL the longitudinal vibration with the engine cold, you will reduce the

My starting issue that resembles yours occurred when vehicle was at operating temperature. If I shut it off it would not restart until the engine cooled for about 30 minutes. This generally only happened during the summer time. It was rarely happened in the wintertime. If I added a bag of

Sounds like an air leak in the fuel system, I'd vote for primer pump but you say you just put a new black one on it? Did all this start right after you put new primer pump on? Maybe you got a defective one? Your compressor issues: did you flush out the shrapnel from the last compressor and put

If that’s a turbo check the hose coming off the back of the intake manifold that goes to the ALDA. If it or the fitting hole on the manifold is clogged the car can quite sluggish. --R Sent from iPhone > On Jun 24, 2018, at 12:04 AM, Rick Hawkins via Mercedes > wrote: > > Folks, > > i'm
