[diesel_mercedes] Injection Pump Questions ?

 

Anyone here ever change one ? .

It looks like my turn in the barrel , I was trying to take a good one off a wreck to - day but there's a hidden support bolt under the rear of the pump (I think)  ~ I couldn't get it loose .

Felt like maybe a 5 or 6 MM hex cap screw ? .


OM617 (5 cylinder turbocharged) and this pump was on a California spec. model and had some box thing on the inner side of the IP , it has a two wire electrical harness coming out of it , my '84 doesn't so I wondered if it'd work anyway .


It looks like the car will be crushed to - morrow morning , IP still in it but I know i'll find another one ere long and just want to know how to get it loose after the three 13MM ATF nuts are removed .


TIA ,


-Nate

(at least the rain held off until I was washed up and driving home , then it came in sheets for 15 minutes or so)

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Rubber Produtcs , Winwods Etc.

 

Thanks for your input Nate. Tom has been recommended a few times now so I'm almost certain I'll get my parts from him.

Dexter ;

I've been a German car mechanic for over 40 years and I can tell you one thing for certain :

ALWAYS use the OEM German made rubbers ! at the very least on the windshield and back glass grommets .

I know the price differential is large but trust me here ~ the cheaper ones don't last long and after they begin to leak in a tear or two in spite of always parking inside your garage so they don't get much sun , you'll be seriously P.O.'d .

I see someone else had already posted Tom's E-mail , also a like to Peach Parts who also sells original Mercedes rubber , Tom @ The Classic Center will be the better price once you figure in shipping and it'll be faster and fresher too .

I'm a (damn) Yankee Farm Boy born and bred so when I get up off a dime , you can believe it's well worth every penny .

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Tranny ' Flaring '

 

At this point anything is possible, I haven't done anything on the trans yet.  Thanks for the suggestions.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Power Service ' Diesel Kleen '

 

Cetane boost. And I think lubricating qualities too. I have a 300 gallon tank I use for my generator and tractor and I started to notice the generator was starting harder. I remembered the fuel was about 6 or 7 years old so I added some of that stuff. It worked, easier starting. Max

I use it always on the '82 240D because it helps the worn out engine with low compression run *much*  better and improves throttle response in every diesel engine I add it too , raises the fuel economy noticeably .

Do you use the Power Source stuff all the time? Is that the stuff that comes in two different jugs, one has cetane booster and the other one maybe for anti jelling? Why do you use this stuff? Max

WHEEEEEEEE !



I was checking my oil and ATF etc. this morning and noticed the primary fuel screen was once again clear , not a bit if crud in it .


YAY , at long last .


Now I can run the tank dry and add my usual Power Service " Diesel Kleen " additive , I don't when I'm using Startron to chase and  clean out fungus .


Maybe an oil and filter change this weekend .

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Diesel Soot

 

Neither of my 240's smoke that you can see at all. Still I get  black when I clean the back windows, which I hardly never do, Just looking for input on the VW scandal. Even if my cars are truly "dirtier per mile" than the average, doesnt matter to me as I only drive about once a week, 50 miles. Max

I dunno max ~

Until recently the 240D never smoked and didn't accumulate smoot on the back of the car atall .

Back in the 1960's I remember the buses belching out dense black clouds and was always told , even by the SMOG guys , that Diesel smoke was inert , almost completely soot .

I hate the smoke and smoot but a well tuned diesel engine doesn't smoke unless you force it to by full throttle under load .

my '84/'85 Europen wagon goes like stink and never soots at all .

I wonder how many folks we are knocking off driving our cars. I have noticed when I wash my rear windows the paper towel comes out black. Max ps, still driving my 2 240's

Still looking and accepting help ! .

Here is an eBay search:

Which one is this picture?

I need the black plastic cover that hides the vacuum switches on top of the rocker box .

It is slightly different from the OM617's I have spares of .

Also , one of the throttle rods is maybe  damaged , it appears to be designed to extend a bit but it's been jammed .

" Idle Path Rod " .

I'd love some decent diagrams for the 1982 240D's switchover valves , not in my factory service manual .

As always , I will travel to get these parts , pay for them and take them off your greasy old junk engine or dig through your parts boxes....

TIA ,

No I have not tried Tom Hanson. Could you give me a little more info on how to contact him. My car is a W110. I don't have the VIN off hand but I could dig it up.

Hi Dexter ;

Have you tried Tom Hansen at the Mercedes Classic Center ? .

They're very good at soft parts no one else has .

He'll need your VIN off the chassis / registration .

What is the chassis designation of your '67 ? . a W108 ? knowing this helps to find parts .

Hey my name is Dexter and I have a 1967 200D. I put in all new brake lines, callipers, beaker master, clutch master and clutch slave. I want to use this car as my daily driver (mainly to and from school). Right now I am working on replacing the front wheel bearings and tightening the steering box. The car needs new window and door seals, but I have no idea where to look for them. Thanks.

I ordered up new brushes from Kent Bergma @ Mercedes Source in Bellingham , Wa , removed it and began the fun ~ as this car had been completely filled with dense choking clouds of Diesel smoke (oops) , it was pretty nasty in there , I took some pictures of the cleaning and repairs , Tom was busy to - day so I didn't get pix of the important difficult bits but I will when we overhaul his fan motor , I have a lead on affordable brushes working now , IIRC Kent gets $9 , not bad but being able to get them locally would be nice .

Sadly the commutator on my motor's armature wore at an 4° angle and I thought it beyond salvage but it works just fine and the new brushes should wear in fairly soon .

Most of the work was the cleaning ~ whew ~ that took patience and diligence but was worth the effort ~ electrical devices don't like heat and dust covering everything is a dandy insulator .

The commutator end bushing is the self aligning typ ~ a very nice touch , I put three drops of oil on it but it may well be designed to run dry , I can't tell but it spins freer now . - Nate "

Some time ago some one here mentioned blower fan brushes bought at the local hardware store .

Does anyone know which brand store ? .

I now have a sample in hand and want to go match some up .

The old one I have in  my hands has ' M41 ' stamped into it in tiny print .

Any leads will be appreciated .
