Re: [MBZ] Injector and Glow Plug Swap, Complete!

Injection has been checked and verified with the proper Mercedes tool a couple of months ago. Based on what I’m hearing, my mileage isn’t outside of the mean. I haven’t put my foot into it at high speed, but before swapping injectors I could get visible smoke from a stop with my foot to the

Re: [MBZ] Injector and Glow Plug Swap, Complete!

I figured that was the case. I was a little disappointed when I drove it home from Little Rock, as I expected to do better mileage-wise, but it was far better than a W140. I keep very detailed records on my cars, and this one has consistently averaged around 21.5 mpg since I got it in

Re: [MBZ] Injector and Glow Plug Swap, Complete!

350SDL doesn't do as well for fuel economy. I remember when my father had one, the best he could do was mid 20s most of the time, and he drove all highway. He had a 300SDL before that that was better. I get about 22mpg in my 350SDL. Lots of highway, but usually at high speed, and I drive with

Re: [MBZ] Injector and Glow Plug Swap, Complete!

There wasn't a lot of goo in mine, surprisingly. I was expecting a lot more, I'm not sure why, as my car doesn't use oil or smoke under load significantly. I capped off the EGR a while ago, too. There was a film, for sure, but it wasn't thick at all. Had it been I probably would have invested

Re: [MBZ] Injector and Glow Plug Swap, Complete!

DAN! A pox upon you for showing that. Now I am going to obsess about needing to clean the intake of all the black ooze in Polei. I have no idea if there is ooze, but your photos make me think there is now huge amounts of goo in there clay > On Nov 11, 2016, at 1:30 PM, Dan Penoff via

Now you have me wondering…. I’ll look tomorrow to be sure. I know the linkage for the cruise control actuator was plastic on both ends, as I was surprised when I saw it. I don’t recall the throttle linkage being plastic. FWIW, I checked the EPC just briefly and on the OM603 they only sell the

That pressure sender - a tube or electrical? Electrical would be the over-boost signal. Tube would be pressure signal to the ALDA which increases fuel with increased air from turbo. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 ___ http://www.okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] Injector and Glow Plug Swap, Complete!

Some additional observations: Insides of manifold and crossover pipe were oily, but there wasn’t much buildup. I didn’t see a lot of value in taking the time to clean them out. I recently capped off the vacuum line to the EGR, too, but I don’t see that affecting the manifold significantly.
