If you've not done a routine valve adjustment since August , _NOW_ is the time as they're tight , I guarantee it .
Trust me , it'll only get colder from to - day onwards and you really don't want to need to do this in January .
This is also the time of year to begin adding some Cetane Booster like Power Service in the _white_ bottle ~ remember :
White bottle in Winter
Silver bottle in Summer
Now is also the time to do a hot oil & filter change using thin synthetic oils ~ 5W whatever makes your Mercedes *much* easier to start in cold weather , it'll last 'till Spring when you can go back to that crappy paraffin based sh*t you normally use to save pennies .
Valve adjustments at _least_ once every 12 months regardless of mileage driven , every second oil change otherwise .

I've filled the "empty space" causing the slack with various "fillers".
The best has been the flat rubber strips off off screw on oil filters
(about 1 1/2 inch long). Thread/shove/pull into the space until it is
filled. Remember, when the bushing disappears, you have a space on
"both" ends of the slot that should be filled.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re : Is This Not The Perfect Country-Western Song ? (yes it is)
"If That Ain't Country" is another good one but "kiss your a**" usually turns into "kick your a**" when I sing along!
Take care,

[diesel_mercedes] Re : Air Intake Opening Later 240D
I'd say yes but , those all have a plastic bushing in the linkage that's always gone missing and isn't a replacement item so I just leave it alone on our '82 240D , it's one of the peppier 240D's I've driven in spite of one low compression cylinder and it's a slushbox.
You can adjust the rod length to compensate , you'll need 7 & 8 MM wrenches IIRC , don't forget to snug up the lock nuts again .

[diesel_mercedes] Re : GLOW PLUG LIGHT Inop.
ALL CAPS is very rude as it connotates yelling , please don't do it .
If you use a basic test light ,you can test the power to the glow plugs easily from the relay after you slide the cover off .
I highly suggest replacing all five as they tend to wear out in sets and be sure to insist on Monark brand glow plugs , not the crappy Bosch , Champion or Beru ones Pep Boys , Shucks , Auto Zone Et Al want to sell you .
