Thanks Mitch. That is how I understood it.
How far out of time can the injection pump be on one of these diesels and still start and idle well? It also ran down the road although poorly and without power. The mechanic had the vehicle running with each pump and diligently followed my
My point was that you can do all of the fancy expensive stuff in your driveway
with minimal tools.
Pump timing is a piece of tubing and a flashlight.
Pump pressure is a spare injector and rerouting one of the pieces of injection
tubing in your car so you can watch the spray pattern in a jar.
Ship the pump to www,Conestoga diesel.com and ask Mel to run it on his test
bench. You will know in a short while and for a minimum cost what the pump
is doing.
A properly calibrated test bench is the proper way to test the pump. Then
you have the whole story.

I suspect Mike is just happy to be on the road again and doesn't want to
spend more money just to satisfy our curiosity. The fact is that MBZ IP
failures (when run on DF2) are so rare that we really know little about that
situation (hence we are curious). Also, some of us probably got a spare
No. I mean slowly, manually turning the crank shaft (while watching valves
to verify #1 approaching TDC of compression) to establish crank angle where
fuel starts to well up on top of #1 delivery valve or fuel begins to drip
from drip tube (or one of the other methods, like bubble).

No, I did not see him do this. He told he did this.

I cannot imagine a shop saying that an injection pump timing check would be
prohibitively expensive. It's actually a very educational test to do, and at
least some of us have 'homebrew' drip tubes laying around to do it with. Not
hard at all to make.

I think Mike said a Bosch shop told him a bench test was too expensive just to
prove a suspect pump needed a rebuild.

Time to celebrate! My 84 300D is back on the road. For those who did not follow the
story, I had hard starting issues for the last 3 summers, yes, only in the summers. Help
from this list determined that my injection pump was wearing out. The pump finally gave
up completely and I picked up
ATTABOY!

Congrats! strange that you got 3 bad pumps in a row. They don't
wear out under normal use. perhaps you got others taken from WVO
cars that ended up in the junkyards. Glad to know you got a good
deal on the rebuilt pump.

The original had over 300,000 miles on it. I am not sure of the mileage on the
one from Mitch. The other had at least 250,000 on it. Both of them sat around
for at least 2 years. I heard that will destroy them. It is best to find one
still attached to the engine. With all lines still attached
I should offer my appologies to your mechanic - I was sure that he was
installing the pumos 180 degrees ouf of time, glad to hear that he knows
hwat he's doing and that you got it running again!

OK Don
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary
safety, deserve neither
Or coincidentally he gets it right when you buy his pump, hmmm

Apology accepted, although I still have a bit of doubt in my mind as to his
knowledge of my Mercedes. I do appreciate his patience with me and my used
pumps. Most mechanics would have given up and sent me on my way after the 2nd
pump did not work.

Mike: Delighted with the final result. Two bad used IPs most unusual by
all accounts. Question: was there ever a real injection timing check on
either of the bad used replacement IPs?

If you mean taking them to an authorized Bosch shop, then no. I tried this at
our local Bosch shop and he said the cost would prohibitive and that I should
just have it rebuilt or buy a rebuilt.
