Howdy -
My '78 240D has a knob on the dash which advances the IP somewhat for cold
starting (at least that's what I think it's doing) and once the engine is
running smoothly, the knob is turned back putting the IP timing at its
proper place.
How do the newer diesels accomplish this? I assume there's some sort of
automatic IP Advance but haven't run across it on the mechanical diagrams
(but I haven't really looked). Is that a correct assumption??
Also, if the "advance" (if that's the proper term for it) is not working on
the newer cars without a knob, will that be the cause of poor running while
cold? How is it lubricated/serviced?
