Well as mentioned I did snap a vacuum hose on the 92 300TDt and
replaced it with some stock at hand, but at the time I noted it was
larger size tubing. Not the same as the snapped smaller diameter
tubing. However on the other side of the pot feeding the transmission
vacuum line was a flow

I have some minor leaks on the 300D -- worst one was a leaking oil
filler cap, replaced them on all the Benzes and reduced the oil
consumption considerably. I never have to add oil between changes
(6000 miles or so) on the 300D, have to add a quart or two on the TE.
The 220D, when running,

Check the oil filler cap for leaks -- remove cap, wipe area completely
dry, and re-install cap. The presence of ANY oil around the cap after
driving indicates it's leaking, replace.
I thought it usually indicated that somebody put it upside down when they
took it off,
Not much oil up there with the engine off, after all. When it's
running, though, oil flies off the cam all over the bottom of the cap,
and if the gasket isn't sealing completely, it runs out, fills up the
little well around the cap, and then runs off the valve cover down the
side of the

Yes the 83 300TDt got a diesel purge too, sounds really nice
perhaps quieter than the 603.
If the 617 is quieter, there is something seriously WRONG with the 603!
Are you using synthetic oil in the 603?

I converted it to delvac 1 5w40 about 2000 miles ago, guess I should
start both of them up and see which how they sound side by side.
Fairly sure the injector? noise I heard before diesel purge on the
603 is gone.
Perhaps I need to run another bottle in a week or so

Long day working on vehicles, with a warning about vacuum hoses. On
the 92 300TDt I first pulled the passenger headlamp which has the
euro wagon level control feature, careful not to
bust the vacuum hose. This was required so I could look at the bosch
headlamp wiper unit which wasn't
