Hi all!
So I've got an 82 300td and I've put in about zero maintence in the two years I have had it. Just bought it and drove it off the lot. Since then, i've noticed that it has progressively gotten louder. Some 300t's I see go down the road just purrr. Mine sounds like an old panzer clanking along. So I figured a good spot to start, would be setting the valves. However, I haven't set valves since high school and only then on a old VW bug. I've seen some reference to some special wrenches that make the job MUCH eaiser. My question to the group... Are there any other "gotcha's, quirks, or tricks" that I should know about up front? Just find TDC and start from there? (as I remember it was fairly simple to set the valves ont he VW, but this 300td has all sorts of linkage and hoses and such that seem to have to be removed first! zoiks! Tahnks in advance for any insight! -hue- 79 280sel "lungren" 82 300d (turbo) "helgra" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
