[diesel_mercedes] Re: GAH !

 

Yup, your mention of the IP crud made me think a piece may have made it to the mated surfaces in the tip. Then I'm thinking, how to flush the crud from the IP? Did you get to "feel" a piece of the crud? Hard or soft? My guess is the car sat and settled "fine particles" from older diesel fuel. Now it's flaking loose. I have not done this, but I wonder if the delivery valves on the IP were pulled, could a solvent be manually pumped through to flush it?

What do you guys use for valve adjustment? I got .0004 and .0012. Seems Nate had something a bit looser. Max

It stops on a dime again but feels ' funny ' ~ like maybe there's a vacuum leak or the booster is failing ~ if I pump the brakes several times the pedal comes up very high and rock hard but ZERO BOOST .

Allowing a few moments returns the boost , why I think there's a vacuum leak plus , the three and four way connectors don't grip the plastic pipes atall ~ I can easily pull the hard plastic pipes out and that's a bad thing .

Tom Hansen @ the Mercedes Classic Center of course sold me these service items so I'll try to replace all of them under the hood to - night , maybe that'll help .

It's nice to drive this European Spec. car ~ it's a real rocketship and yet has almost no smoke ~ only under full throttle when the turbo is fuly spooled up and the car is passing everything else on the road , no other time .

If the bash plate is the belly pan that covers the oil pan, I saw one once on Craig's list, should've grabbed it.
