[diesel_mercedes] 240D Lack Of Power & Hard Starting

 

That's pretty good ~ my '82 240D goes 83MPH top speed, if there's no wind and it's flat ground .

I hope you remember to wait a few moments _after_ the glow plug lamp goes out before cranking ~ this helps immesurably .


Try to run each tankful to the low fuel lamp coming on before refilling and adding more <magic> juice .

I made a point of running mine out until it dies on the freeway and this allowed me to get out lots of crud in the very bottom of the fuel tank .

Took her for a ride tonight. Started with a rip. Ran like a watch. I
decided to open her up. The front end has not been up to it until last
week. She began to top out on the level at slightly over 80. I think
that's good for, whatever, 65 hp. Second start took two tries and
smoother. Leisurely ride back.
Ordered a Bosch pre-pump.
Let's see how she behaves tomorrow.
