Re: [diesel_mercedes] my Air conditioning

 

Randy,

There are used controllers available at the junk yards, just look at the
circuit board to see that it's not fried, brown, burned, etc.
New one's are still available from MB, though not cheap.
Talk to Thom at the MB Classic Center.

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Help please

 

Just about everyone on the list has asked a question about hard starting and been greeted by  chorus of, "When did you last adjust your valves?"  The combination of tight valves and/or a significantly worn timing chain will make it very difficult to start your engine, even if you don't have any air in your fuel system.  I have heard more than a few stories of MB diesels that were junked for hard starting, when all they likely needed was a valve adjustment.


If your valves and injection pump timing are both fine, and, on the fuel side, everything looks good from the hand primer pump forward, then you probably should take a look at your fuel filters and the intake screen in your fuel tank.  Personally, I know that I don't pay as much attention to the big main fuel filter as I should, and it's lasted through multiple changes of my clear in-line filter.  However, those filters can and do get clogged up from use, too. 

Hope this helps get you pointed in a productive direction.
