[diesel_mercedes] Re: Hard starting. W123

 


Just for fun ;

Try replacing all the flexible hoses between the injectors including that long one back to the housing .

When these return hoses get old and stiff , they allow air into the closed & looped fuel injection system after it sits awhile , causing hard cold starts .

IIRC you already checked your glow plugs and valve gaps .

If the engine is running @ idle , loosenng the 17 MM injector line to injector nuts _one_ flat will *instantly* cause weeping of DieselFuel and usually , miss firing of that cylinder .

Looking closely , if you see bubbles comig out in the weepeing fuel , there's a leak somewhere , usually in the intake screen's hose clamps or the secondary fuel filter's banjo bolt .
