Re: [diesel_mercedes] new diesels

 

When I worked at a freight forwarding company ten years ago, we had an International straight truck with a big diesel engine that started like that.  I was told there was some kind of starting fluid that was automatically injected.  Not sure if the Sprinter works that way....

Does anybody know how these new diesels start? My friend just bought a new Sprinter 4WD . He was here for a visit and in the morning it was like 2 degrees. He went out and turned the key and presto it started. No glo, no nothing, just like a gas car. How do they do this? If I had to start either one of my 240's like that, they would not. I can always get them started but it takes a while. Max

For one thing, there is a computer between you and the engine. That changes the whole game. And one of the things they can do is change the injection timing. If they wait till farther toward top dead center than these om617s do then they can inject into hotter air. Plus they have a higher compression ratio to begin with. That computer is why they are quieter too. It's seems to be a lot to do with the injection timing. Just my $0.02.

[diesel_mercedes] More VW Fun [3 Attachments]

 
[Attachment(s) from Nate included below]




Happy Monday ! .

I decided to make the first pass at cleaning away 57 years worth of accumulated grease, oil, grime and road munge .

I knew it was going to be a nasty job so I stripped off my street clothes and got into a monkey suit ~ good thing too as by the time I was finished I was soaking wet with black grime from hear to toenails and had to disrobe on my back porch before I even entered the house to clean up .

The photos attached show it looks O.K. ~ I'm still not satisfied, I need to find my toothbrush and give lots of nether regions serious cleaning .
 
The weather gave me a break, warming up to 67* F and the winds died down .

I still have to drag out all the engine sheet metal and clean and de grease it before dragging it off to Tim's Bead Blaster to remove the rust and ready it for re painting .

I'd wanted to take some before and during cleaning photos but as soon as I touched the car my hands were covered in oil for the next five hours .
