Followup report, 10F this morning. I glowed the 190D twice because thats what
the 240D would have required. I needn't have bothered it fired right up without
a worry. Thats with dino oil no less.
Its funny with as badly boogered as the rest of the car is the engine seems
pretty solid.
Question: my car has significant hesitation around 3000-3500rpm until its run
for 5-10 miles. I think there may be some gelled fuel or water left in the
system as after the 5-10 miles have passed it runs perfectly. I *think* the
190D has a system to warm fuel in the lines is that right? I ran a bottle of
Diesel Kleen through the system to help blow out the carbon, I'm planning on a
bottle of Diesel Suppliment to squester water and anti-gel.
So one last run to Wal-Mart tonight for the 15w50 and Diesel Suppliment.
