87K original miles/second owner of this car. It appears the t.o. has never been exchanged. Starting to notice poor performance when it's cold and engine...
I think you have a good argument, if you can verify the t.o. is still in there (big, cylindrical, canister, muffler looking part between exhaust header and...
Almost all diesels are "sluggish" when cold, and MBZ I think is more pronounced. I've heard there's something that limits power/fuel until full warm-up. I know...

Have you tried Lubromoly diesel purge to see if its a dirty injector? If it bothers you a lot, perhaps you should find out which one(s) is causing the problem,...
I agree, my '81 300TD is actually fairly peppy when its warmed up, but when its cold what a struggle to get anywhere. Usually sitting for a minute brings up...
Yes only when the engine is cold. The belt shock was replced and cured most of the sound. The old mechanic at the MB dealer had told me that No 2 injector was...
I will try the Lubrymoly. Where do I buy it? How much to use? The MB dealer had estimated $250 per injector and the service guy wanted to replace all 6. I told...
For the price they quoted you for one, you'd nearly (you'd need to toss in an extra $20) have all 6 injectors from www.buymbparts.com. If I were you and I was...
thank you John. I will bear this in mind when I get serious. I will call Rusty in the am for the molly. ... toss ... not ... there ... Orders ... in ... bad. ...
I've had the entire car gone thruogh and no fungus/water issues were found. The car was owned by an older couple who just didn't drive it that much. I'm in...

In my limited experience you can lose say 2 glow plugs and the car will still start. (on a 5 cyl, maybe only one on a 4) Of course thats with the new type...
If you haven't talked to Rusty yet I still have a case and a half of diesel purge not spoken for. Drop me an email at raymond@.... If you mention you read...
... which ... I couldn't find any replies to this question. Does anyone know what the difference between the 951 and 952. Also does anyone know if they are...
I drove my 240D for two days after I bought it and now it won't start. She has a block heater, but even after an hour with that on she doesn't want to start....
"She keeps trying to turn, even after I pull the key out. Do I need to have the heater on longer?" Sounds like a starter/relay malfunction to me... The block...
When you say the engine keeps trying to turn over with the key out, it sounds like a stuck solenoid/ broken spring on the starter to me. If the starter...
Some of you may remember I was going to check on a white, 1-owner, 1984 300SD for $2400. Just as I thought it would be- it was sold. Today, at a car lot I...
Hello all, I am on the lookout for a 1987 300D or 300TD. If anybody has one in good condition that they would consider selling, and are in or very near Los...
