Hi all. I purchased the injector pump rack dampner bolt from Mercedessource complete with instructions. The mention of an O-ring made me somewhat prepared for some kind of fluid to be leaking out as O-rings are usually sealing something off. I expected diesel fuel but oil leaked out of the hole. There was no mention in the instructions of any fluids leaking out of the hole when removing the old one but I had some oil leak out and was wondering if that was normal.
Also the instructions said to screw in the new bolt until you "just begin to feel it make contact". I never felt any resistance when screwing it in. I don't think it made contact with anything. I experimented and spun it in all the way to see if the engine would be difficult to start or perhaps not stall at all. The engine started fine. Is there a reason that this bolt didn't seem to do anything at all.
