There is a slight downslope toward the pump so the ball should be safe. At least it wasn't any problem for me. Curley McLain via Mercedes wrote: MG via Mercedes March 20, 2017 at 5:36 PM If you can I would go ahead and stretch the spring first just to see if

Yes. It idles and runs great, but the engine sways or shakes at idle. New motor mounts, too. I don't drive it enough to tell for sure, but it may be temperature dependent. -D > On Mar 20, 2017, at 3:44 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > Idle speed

I read the whole list of messages on this and came to the conclusion that the guy is just trying to make some money. If you read the manual it says that if the spring in there is too weak to keep the pressure above .8 bar then adjust it to 27mm. In other words stretch the spring and put it

Which hollow bolt is it? I was looking at the EPC for my 350SDL and didn’t see anything like it, just a bunch of hollow bolts. Maybe the OM603 doesn’t use one? On my 300D I found a hollow bolt that it on the end of the return line where it enters the IP - that’s referred to in the EPC as a

An old tired spring may allow a lower pressure on the feed passages, so this may be a necessary repair. If your 0 to 60 time is within factory spec, you don't need this. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On March 18, 2017 1:41:44 PM EDT, Dan Penoff via Mercedes

Yes I bought one of those springs from him when he rebuilt injectors. I think it just keeps the supply pressure to the delivery valves higher, or something like that. I never put it in. Pretty much voodoo, but cheap voodoo. On Mar 18, 2017 10:42 AM, "Dan Penoff via Mercedes"
