combu kit 3/8

This is one cool pre or final protection fuel filter. I have been looking for something like this for a long time. Not only is it all metal, just the right size, has a 60 micron large cleanable screen, but it can be taken apart by hand... and that is certainly a big plus when you are out on the road faced with a plugged-up filter!

Why Does My Diesel Engine Run So Badly? - JULY PROMO

Run_Badly_S.jpg

Running badly means poor performance. It happens sooner or later to EVERY diesel owner. The word "performance" is often used to describe how well a diesel engine runs once started. The principles discussed will cover all Mercedes diesels from the mid 1950s to the mid 1990s. Throughout this manual I will use this word to discuss a number of common problems. How performance is rated can mean different things to different people. In the following pages I will relate diesel performance to the following four criteria:

• How much power does it produce?
• What kind of fuel economy does it deliver?
• How smooth does the engine run?
• How much does the engine smoke?

View Product
Thin shim 0,20 x 6

These thin shim washers can be added to an existing injector shim to meet the thickness required to increase release pressure. Buy using a thicker shim along with 1 to 3 thin shims you will be able to make a number of different thicknesses within the 0,20 mm range. This kit contains six each of thin 0,20 mm washers.

thin shim 0,10 x 6

These thin shim washers can be added to an existing injector shim to meet the thickness required to increase release pressure. Buy using a thicker shim along with 1 to 3 thin shims you will be able to make a number of different thicknesses within the 0,10 mm range. This kit contains six each of super thin 0,10 mm washers

If you are adjusting your injectors and your pressure reading is low you may only have to add one or two of the thin washers to bring the pressure up to spec. If your pressure reading is too high you will need to go down in thickness by choosing a think shim you have available and adding 1 or 2 thin (or any multiple you like) ones to build the thickness required. We also supply thin washer sets in 0,05 and 0,20 mm sizes.

Variable 30 Pc. DIY Shim Washer Kit for Diesel Injector Pressure Adjustment - NEW!

variable shim kit

One of the more challenging aspects of adjusting the release pressures on your diesel fuel injectors is finding the exact thickness shim washer you need to make the proper spring pressure adjustment. If you try to do it with just one shim per injector you end up needing a large assortment of all sizes of shims ranging from 0,80 mm to 1,95 mm. And knowing Murphy’s law all too well, you will end up needing the shim size that you do not have.

But if your hot or cold and turn the fan to high speed it runs fine for abuot three mins.Then it's off for about 1 min. on for 5 secs. off for 5 secs. it dose this for about 5 mins. then it will run for about 1 1/2 mins. and starts this all over again. It also dose a screeching sound under the dash on and off too with the no and off. Is there a hight limit on the fan or somthing?

Thank for any help the weather is starting to heat up


'87 300DT - When To Replace Primer Pump?

Submitted by mitchoates on 21 May 2008 - 12:35am.

I have an '87 300DT sedan, 603.960 engine, 143500 miles. Reading thru my electronic copy of the W124 Service Library concerning the fuel primer pump, it lists the minimum pressures it should be able to achieve at idle and at a certain rpm.

Measured at the supply line between the cartridge fuel filter and the inlet to the injection pump, doing the conversion from bar to psi, it looks to indicate that the primer pump should obtain a minimum pressure of 4 1/2 psi at idle.

I have an underhood fuel pressure gauge installed (Mr Gasket 15 psi from Advance Auto) in the line specified in the FSM. Initially idling cold, it registers 6 psi. After driving 20 miles to work, idling when hot it registers 5 psi.


Door Locks 93 300D 2.5

Submitted by vlindell@hotmail.com on 18 May 2008 - 7:59am.

After locking my doors with the key all four lock knobs pop open on there own after about 45-60 sec. I can hear a wirring sound comming from the back seat. I am assuming I have a vacuum leak somewhere or a malfunctioned pump under the back seat. Could the door vacuum actuators be faulty? I am trying to keep this simple at first before I need to take the door panels off.

Thanks for your help
