Re: [MBZ] 240D engine is REALLY *LOUD*..
#1 piston probably has a problem. Does it idle rough too? --- Kaleb C. Striplin Cox Auto Trader 730-Tulsa FSBO Supervisor - Original Message - From: Kevin J.

My son sent me an instant message yesterday saying the 240D was trailing some blue smoke and smelled like it was burning oil. When I got home last night I started it up and popped the hood. Engine is running a lot louder than it had been. It was night, so it's hard to be definitive but it did seem to be spewing a little more smoke than normal and it did smell of burning oil. The oil level (I checked it before I started after the car sat on the flat for 7 hours) was down a bit from where it was when I brought the level back up a few days back. We checked under the air filter and there wasn't much oil sitting there, so I don't think that's the culprit. I did notice pretty significant blow-by when I pulled the oil fill cap while the engine was running at fast idle. So I have more smoke, some oil smell in the exhaust, lower oil level on the dipstick, more noise - almost like a loud rap, and lots of cam oil pressure. Any thoughts? Could it be as simple as a valve nut that wasn't tightened up enough and now has moved? The sound I'm hearing seems to be coming from a single piston - that is, it's regular but I don't think it happens every time a piston fires. ...Kevin (who'll be checking valve clearances tonight) ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

No. It idles about the same as it always has. It runs a little rough at startup, but that could be a number of things. Smooths out pretty quickly. ...Kevin On Thu, 10 Jan 2008, Kaleb C.

Could be a needle stuck in its nozzle body bore. I've seen that so bad that I'm convinced that no amount of Purge could remedy it. Makes quite the racket but just requires nozzle replacement. -joe ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
