Re: [MBZ] 1995 E300D Odessy/Mitch
Mitch, Maybe me? My '95 E300 had a failed vacuum pump when I bought it, and I was very concerned about bearings dumped into engine, but it had the upgraded pump so nothing dumped. Took me over a year to get that all sorted: new vacuum pump, injection pump timer, rebuilt all the delivery valves, injectors serviced, and then once she was road worthy, I found the suspension was in need of total rebuild. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On April 19, 2015 11:04:47 PM EDT, Mitch Haley mi...@mitchellhaley.com wrote: Somebody parked a 606 engined car for many months while waiting for parts after it ate the vac pump bearings, I'm pretty sure of that.

Mitch, just getting to this now after plowing through several days of digests. I'd need to go through the archives myself, but it may have been an 87 300sdl that I replaced the vacuum pump on. I've never owned a car with the om606 motor, only 617, 602 and 603 cars. But I do have to commend your memory of such a minute detail!
