Every iron head I have had off has been cracked. The 616 and 617 are
much improved over the 621. Alum or
over the top. The negative consequence of that is getting soaked...

Wonderful guidance. This e300 is the first turbo diesel Mercedes car I've

Following a cold engine start, once the idle is smooth and full oil

That looks like it will be my one data point. I get that everything I
wanted to do was normal maintenance... except the flywheel. There were lots
of other fit and finish issues. Like it was said, it is a non-MB diesel
with 170K+ miles on it.

that;s good to know as we had thought about one of the TDI Passats.
Anyone hear about the quality of the newer E class?

The TDI Passat cost half as much as the CDI E class, so lasting half as
long is to be expected. By the time I get 200,000 miles on the Passat at
7,000/yr., there will be something much more interesting. The Cessna gets
the long trips now, and I don't commute to work anymore.

I did a test with piezo buzzer and scope and can see a nice signal.
I also put a piezo on block and could see that #1 incjector was causing
most of the knock.
I will try to setup a blog to post pictures...
I ordered a pop tester shims and new nozzles, not Ali express had nozzles
for $4.50 each.

vibration in the #1 injector line to know when injector opens.
I did a quick test and it looks to be feasible, thus figured I can
