[MBZ] Shudder upon shutoff
Does the shaking that the diesel engine does upon shutoff cause motor mounts to wear out more quickly than in a gas engined car? I wonder about this every time I shut off the engine. It would seem that it has to put a considerable strain on things. Perhaps the mounts are designed to take it? I am talking about my 83 240D and like vehicles.

Re: [MBZ] Shudder upon shutoff
None of mine shudder much unless the mounts are bad -- the 300D thumped horribly until I got both mounts in, then it was very smooth. The 220D and my brother's 75 300D both shut down nicely, but then they both have new mounts. Check yours -- the rubber should be significantly higher than the steel cup -- if not, replace. Peter

Re: [MBZ] Shudder upon shutoff
Now Marshall - first you tell us not to let the engine idle for more than a few minutes (carbon build-up), then now you're advocating not turning it off (like the big rigs). I guess that means we need to tag-team drive the cars - keeping them in motion! Suburban 24 hours of Le Mans style? One solution is to NEVER turn the car off!
