Re: [MBZ] How bad would you have to overhear at 617 that would cause it not to start?

I had the lower radiator hose clamp break while in the fast lane in heavy traffic at 75mph. My first hint something was wrong was when the car smelled hot. I looked and the gauge was pegged.I got us off the highway quick but the damage was done...That was a 240D, apparently Dimitri's buddy

Only if one was dumb enough to keep on driving it until it seized up. The blown rad or hose would be obvious so very little excuse for further abuse to the engine. RB On 24/11/2017 2:23 PM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes wrote: The plastic radiator necks deteriorated and snapped off. POOF!

Kaleb, Just some xtra info. My mechanic once told me that if a diesel doesn't start and you continue trying to crank it that you will "wash down the cylinder walls" and lose compression and it will never start. He said the fix is to remove the glow plugs, pour oil into each cylinder,

There is always that risk but with a car as nice as this one appears, I would think that risk would be minimal. On 11/24/2017 6:58 AM, Max Dillon via Mercedes wrote: No, without a test drive there could be many other problems you cannot find. $500. --- This email has been checked for

Re: [MBZ] How bad would you have to overhear at 617 that would cause it not to start?

Hot enough to loose spring tension on the piston rings and lose compression. As a low compression diesel it won't start Likely also lost camber on the pistons so they will slap when they go up and down... for a while... until the piston skirt breaks off and that shrapnel destroys the rest
