Take out to the highway. Stop. Get us a 0-60 time in seconds. If it
is over 18, your turbo is most likely not working due to the line from
the intake manifold to the fender being plugged up.

Donald,
Some suggestions:
1.) Stop. Take a few steps back and stop trying to solve the car’s (perceived)
issues collectively. Taking a shotgun approach to a car that is new and unknown
to you is rarely productive.
2.) Try to make a list of the issues. Pick one and resolve it, then move to the
My 300D 2.5t was,a rocket 0-60 in ~12/13 seconds. 240D was 22 seconds. Not
sure,about OM617 turbo.

You can't drive it too hard, or rather if you do what broke was about to fail
anyway. A 240D has to be driven 100% almost all of the time, a 300D turbo is
babied by comparison.
I suspect your accelerator pedal isn't making the rack travel all the way. I
had that happen to my second 240D,
So it's not turbo charged? Then, yes, it will seem very slow compared to
the 300D 2.5 T - that thing was like a rocket powered car relative to the
previous MB Diesels!

123 240D? Incredibly slow, as in: feels like there's something wrong. At
least, mine was.

What year/model was this? Plugged three way may be for the vacuum
locks. Vacuum line routing varies year to year and sometimes within
the year.. You need the specific diagram for that vehicle.

Anybody have an actual picture (rather than the diagram) of the vacuum line
routing? I think there should be 3 lines going into the switchover valve. But,
I have 1 or 2. I also have a 3 way connector that only has two hoses going
into it.
I remember something about one line that a lot of

other bad rubber components. the tubing rarely goes bad, and if so,
the engine compartment tubing gets brittle first.

The SD shut off issue, though maybe, probably related to the ignition (swapped

diagnosis. He found much vacuum trouble. Maybe the green modulator is bad,
but when he was doing the vac testing, ATF was being sucked into
