The only real good advice I have for you is to ignore whoever told you to look at the ignition coil. Theres no ignition system in a diesel. No sparkplugs, no...
The neutral safety switch is a good thing to check out by jiggling the shifter the next time it doesn't start. I sure hope that it doesn't require another...

How about the procedure for cold starting a 300D Turbo diesel? I've tried that halfway to the floor starting procedure, the floored starting procedure, etc, ad...
i agree, for the turbo, the depressing of the accelerator does nothing. if it doesn't start after preglowing twice and with just turning the key, it won't...

Mobil 1 oils approved by MB are, 0w40, 5w40 and 15w50, thats it. 5w30 is not approved for use in an MB diesel. 5w40 is consider the best Mobil 1 oil, 15w50...
Hi all, Glad I found this group, lots of good info. I just bought an 85 300td for $4500, silver exterior w/ blue interior. It's in real nice shape, exterior...
Anyone with a diesel should have a block heater (not a heater hose heater). Period. They make the difference no matter how cold it is. Get one and use it....
My only complaint is its lack of acceleration from a dead stop. Although I'm realizing it's normal for diesels with nice long legs - my mechanic found it to ...
As I posted recently, my diehard $800 1982 200k 240D finally took a dive that I wasn't willing to replace or work on (transmission failure). I was already...

My understanding is that the 5 cyl Turbo engine is similar in casting to the 4 cyl, so the 5 has its roots in the 4 cylinder, but when did the 5 cylinder first...
I'm no expert, just relaying my experience. My 1982 300D Turbo with 140k starts right up without a block or hose heater. I had some trouble early this winter...
My 300sd automatic transmission is leaking. There is a slow leak on the left side of the transmission. It is coming from a round fitting that is light green...
The 5 cylinder normally aspirated (NA) diesel first appeared in the 1975 300D, and the turbo version first appeared in the 1978 300SD. The basic block was...

Roberto, First forget about K&N, unless you like to sandblast the inside of your engine. It doesn't do anything to increase performance anyway. The only thing...
