[diesel_mercedes] OM617 Turbo Removal

 



Neither Mercedes nor I find it necessary to remove the oil filter to change the injection pump....

Nice work!


Yeah, I would go back for the IP (which requires the removal of the oil filter housing/assembly, a messy, messy job).  With two OM617s in the house, it will be worth it if you're planning on keeping them for a while. You can always get your money back, and more, it you wish to sell it later.


As for the turbo: Maybe, if it's the earlier one that doesn't have that blow-off valve thing.  My experience is that the turbos in the yards are quite worn.  Still, it might be good to have a core around.  Maybe you'll get lucky and get one that's recently been rebuilt.


Where are you that W123/W126's are showing up in salvage yards?


Mark in Centennial, CO (where ironhead diesels are still showing up in the area yards, but less and less so)
