Re: [diesel_mercedes] Fuel Economy Check '84 300CD Slushbox

 

Thanx Joe ;

I was upset to see the soft black silt in the filter again, I've been chasing fungus out of this car since I bought it some years ago .

I still have the slight loping at hot idle issue and once in a while upon hot start I hear a LOUD metallic clacking sound,my buddyCarlos (elderly Diesel Mechanic) tells he it's probably an injector ~ of course the car refuses to ever make this noise when he's nearby to listen .

Once I'm sure the fungus is truly gone I'll replace the injection pump with the original one I sent out for rebuilding, they just adjusted it on their testing & adjusting machine, I hope it's O.K. .

I also have more rebuilt injectors, the ones in there now are rebuilt, I worry maybe some of this fine silty stuff is causing one injector to misfire .

@ 26MPG now, I have hope it'll rise to 28, maybe even 30 once everything is perfect .

A *very* long road here .

-Nate
