Hey there.
Quickly I have an 84 300SD.
It is in VERY good condition, everything works (kinda scarry) AC,cruise,acutmatic climate control, I mean it is in really excelelnt shape all the way around.
139k miles and I bought it a few months back. I have done your diesel purge, paid a very reputable shop to do a vavle adjustment and they replaced a vacuum pot that was causing a little shifting gremlin.
Anyway all is fine except that a new glitch has occured. I started the car the other day and the idle was a bit rough. Nothing earth ratteling but I also noticed that there is a little smoke coming form the exhaust and ther used to be quite literally none that you could see.
I am thinking fuse for the glow plugs or maybe a glow plug bad? Air in fuel lines (I just got your new primer pump in mail and am about to install with my all new suspension from you)?
Anyway, thoughts on anything I might be missing you sincerly be most appreciated. I am having tons of fun buying stuff from you guys and fixing up the last few little things to make it my perfect 300SD.
Thanks a ton in advance.
