RE: Re: [diesel_mercedes] Cold Wx. Starting

 

 Easiest way to deal with cold starting is to come on down to Mazatlan, Engine is running before I can get my hand off the key.

Didja adjust the valves recently ? .


Test the glow plugs with a $20 Harbor Freight infra red thermometer ? .


As some white bottle Diesel Kleen ? .


All these are necessary for reliable Winter starting and service .

My 240 failed to start yesterday. It was the third day of really cold, around 10 degrees. The first day I drove it and it started fine. Also the starter did that thing we were talking about a few weeks ago. Mine has not done it for years, but then I park it in winter and drive the Subaru. But now, no snow just cold so I prefer the 240 over the Subaru. Now I am running the block heater for a few hours to see if that will start it, for the last time till spring. I guess I should run the AC to circulate the stuff. Max- in winter

Re: [diesel_mercedes] RE: New Tires

 

Brand new battery, not the problem. Next day I plugged in the block heater for a couple of hours, started on the first pop. The valves should be fine as I dont drive much since last adjusted. I have two of these cars. Max

Batteries fail at the first hint of really cold weather.  Happened to my
daughter last week.  Do a load test on the battery.  Volts mean nothing.
