Re: [MBZ] IP Advance (??)
My '78 240D has a knob on the dash which advances the IP somewhat for cold It just pulls on the throttle linkage a bit. High idle, in other words. Newer cars do the same thing automatically, via idle speed regulation. So far as I know, timing on these cars is _only_ affected by RPM. -- Jim

Re: [MBZ] IP Advance (??)
The '78 and 79' SDs had the fast idle knob. They stopped them on the '80 model year cars.

Re: [MBZ] IP Advance (??)
It just pulls the linkage a bit to give a faster idle -- otherwise they tend to stall when very cold. It does not affect injection timing in any way, unlike the cold start device on the VE rotary pump on the Volvo -- that is responsible for many cases of early engine wear because it DOES advance the injection timing quite a bit, and does so long after the engine is fully driveable.
