Re: [diesel_mercedes] Garage Queen 240D Update-Updated

 

 

Don   I spotted a MB siting in a repair shop lot.It's been

there for over a year think it may be a parts car.

  This car is in Troy Mo. siting on S.Lincoln Dr.

 

Thanks for the input.  Glow plugs glowed nicely outside the car.  And with the injectors removed, I could view them glowing red while installed.

I ran the compression test – several times to get consistent numbers on all cylinders.  The results are bad, very bad.  Keep in mind this was a cold engine test, given it's pretty difficult to do a warm engine test on a car that will not start.

Cylinder 1 – 220                Cylinder 2 – 180                Cylinder 3 – 210                Cylinder 4 – 310

So guys, what do you things the odds are that a valve job will help this engine?  A complete rebuild is way outside my skill set, and also my budget.  Has my beloved 240D become a parts car?
