[diesel_mercedes] Fuel Economy Checl '83 300CD Slushbox

 

A/C & Biobor used, the tertiary filter was very clean, dare I hope the dreaded fungus is gone ? .

402 miles, 21 MPG, sad but, no smoke and since I backed the ALDA adjuster out as far as it'll go the power is good and off idle throttle response is better too, I occurs to me that I didn't lap the turbo's pop off valve even though it had been stuck immobile, I think maybe I'll overhaul an earlier turbo (pre 1984) that doesn't have the triangular A.I.R. vacuum valve on it and lap the pop off valve when I do so, give that a try and install my non EGR manifolds at the same time .

Now all I needs do is find an old turbo languishing in someone's junk pile to begin with .

Low fuel lamp on @ 398 miles .

That MPG is about what our old '85 245 Volvo got driving to NoCal and back (800miles).

This year, my '85 MB 300D wasn't up for the trip, and our newer and better gas mileage 2007 Prius, a gift from my mom a few year's ago, just got hit a few weeks ago, and won't ever be on the road again, so I got the Volvo up to speed. Gotta get the wife to stop having people run into her; what do you think bright yellow paint? Not many old MBs or Volvos out on the the road.

The Volvo passed smog with flying colors yesterday, after that long Italian tuneup I gave it earlier.

All right, back to the MB, my daily driver.
