Hi Lawrence. Have you touched your glow plugs to see if they are
physically hot after they have warmed up? Also have you checked your
timing chain/marks to see if you have jumped a tooth?

[diesel_mercedes] Non starting 300 TD

 

I loosened all the injector lines.  Got them all to weep.  Tightened and put a new air filter on.  Not a sign of life.  I'm stumped.  Lawrence Rhodes

[diesel_mercedes] Re: 123 Klima II Issues

 


It sounds like the start should be replacing the fan brushes....

I'd also go buy 15' of correct sized vacuum hose and a good pair of dykes and begin replacing hard or blubbery vacuum hose bits one by one...

Trying to replace more than one at a time , almost guarantees mis routed hoses and further troubles .

Sometimes it works totally fine - vent, a/c, defrost, all working as it has for the eighteen years that I have had the car. However, occasionally the fan does not come on - i can hear the vent and defrost flaps moving and can hear the ac compressor kick on as i push the different buttons, but no fan. Later the fan will start working. Also, not sure if this is related or not, but I am still having vacuum issues. When I start the car the air flow through the vents is low and sometimes the locks do not work, but quite consistently, if i turn off the acc, drive for about thirty seconds, then turn it back on, everything (acc, locks) all work fine, until i next shut off the car. Does any of this make sense? The car has 167k on it and the acc pushbutton assembly and fan, etc., are original.

Darn gremlins. The older they get, the more havoc they cause.

Hi all

Thanks, in advance, as always, for your thoughts. My 82 300D turbo is having auto climate control issues.

[diesel_mercedes] W123 injector pump failure symptoms.

 

I have no fuel in my lines from the pump to the cylinder.  Very hard starting but after a minute or two of cranking it starts & idles fine.  If anyone knows the symptoms of a 5 cylinder injector pump failing I'd like to hear them.  This problem has my car sidelined.  Lawrence Rhodes.
