For years I just used old shop rags to catch the drips - until I found this! What a great solution. Watch the video below for more details
PLEASE NOTE: This item can ONLY be shipped UPS Ground. Diesel purge is amazing stuff! It is getting so popular that we have decided to offer it on the website individually, so now you can buy per can.
Rough running diesels abound everywhere. The symptoms include poor acceleration, no power, and excess exhaust smoke. Some times these can be a sign of real problems. Other times it may mean your fuel injection system just needs a good cleaning. And NOTHING cleans better than Diesel Purge.
Set of 2 rubber motor mounts. These mounts fit TURBO DIESEL 300CD, 300D, 300SD, 300SDL, 300TD, and gas V8 380SE, 380SEC, 380SEL, 420SEL, 500SEC, 500SEL, 560SEC, 560SEL. These are high failure rubber parts on older cars.

These washers are installed right under the four nuts that hold the valve cover securely to the cylinder head. They help to prevent the over tightening of the valve cover as well as prevent the nut from loosening up. They also keep the nut from gouging the metal out of the valve cover.
Why is this so important? It is primarily due to the age of these cars now and the fact that lurking problems can be hidden from visual inspection. There is not ONE diesel that Kent has looked at in the last five years that does not need this service! Even ones with under 150,000 original miles.
This unique tank not only functions as an emergency fuel tank, but it can also serve to help troubleshoot diesel engine performance problems as well as complete a clean and efficient diesel purge.
New head gasket set. Fits all 5 cylinder TURBO diesel engines only from 1978 to 1985 including 300D, 300CD, 300TD and 300SD. Comes complete with all gaskets only as shown in the picture. Valve stem seals, chain tensioner gasket, thermostat housing gasket, and valve cover gasket are NOT included.
Even many old-time Mercedes diesel "experts" are surprised about this part. It is so unknown that it never gets replaced in the oil filter housing, meaning that almost all of them are no longer working today. Watch the video below, and Kent will explain its location and function.
I have received so many emails on this topic that I had to sit down and write a very detailed manual over 130 pages in length! Let's face it! Diesel automatic transmissions can be troublesome, particularly those models that use vacuum to control shifts.

Excellent used pre chamber as shown for OM 617 turbo diesel engines ONLY. If your diesel engine is running rough with excessive smoke and you have tried everything else it could be your engine's pre-chambers are damaged.
This is a high quality aftermarket part. Genuine are no longer available. The main line is the same for all U.S. turbo diesels 1981 to 1985. There may be some variation on the small vacuum rubber hose attach points. Here is the arrangement of the vacuum attach points.
If your engine is just running hot, it may be due to a plugged radiator or possibly a stuck thermostat. If your engine is just losing coolant it could be a leak in the water pump, radiator or hoses.
This kit fits ALL 116, 123 and 126 4 and 5 cylinder diesels, 616 and 617 designation. This is one of the most common oil leaks on the older Mercedes diesels from 1977 to 1985. It is often found at the gasket between the engine block and the oil filter housing.
Fits 115, 116, 123 and 126 5 cylinder diesel engines (both non-turbo and turbo) from 1975 to 1985. These should be changed every time you remove your valve cover for valve adjustment or other maintenance. Stock up now for a great price on a set of 3.

Here is another diesel item I strongly believe should be replaced as a preventative measure. Water pumps do not last forever and when they go, it is usually when you are on a trip - right? I feel they should be changed every 100,000 miles.
Fits 115 116 123 and 126 chassis diesel engines, non turbo and turbo, to 1985. This includes the 220D, 240D, 300D 300TD wagon and 300D/300SD turbo engines. Most thermostats only last a few years and should be changed for optimal diesel performance.
This gasket should be replaced when you remove the oil cooler housing to replace the main block gasket. These get old and hard and will leak due to age. Easy to do it on the bench. Not so easy to do it on the car.

Kent modified this puller and developed a procedure to remove the front crank seal race so the job could be affordable from the DIY mechanic. This costs less than half the cost of the factory tool.
We know it is a surprise to many owners to discover there is a small thermostat inside the oil filter housing. Rather than write about it, watch the video below and Kent will explain the theory of operation and how to get it it.
Replacing your oil cooler lines/hoses is a very important maintenance item on your older Mercedes diesel. Getting them on and off though is a different matter!

I don't think there is any owner out there who has owned a 1978 to 1993 diesel automatic for any length of time and who has not had some sort of shift problem with the transmission. Maybe it was just a little jerk or a slipping shift. Maybe the rear end clunked hard when you came to a stop.

Good used flywheel stretch bolt as shown. Very limited stock. Torque converter flex plate bolts.
We receive a large number of emails from customers complaining about small fuel leaks at the fuel injector housing (coming out the threads between the two halves)and how best to seal them. To fix this high pressure leak requires taking the injector apart and "lapping" the mating surfaces.
8/2022 Update: We have modifed a new wrench for this kit so it may not look the same as that shown in previous YouTube videos, but it will do the same or even better job! We do sell the water pumps individually, but we decided to offer this complete kit to make a diesel pump installation go easie
Have you ever wished you could get your hands on a manual that would answer all your diesel complaint questions?
Book 1 explains how a series pre-glow system works and how to properly test it using inexpensive electrical testing equipment. If your glow plugs are not working you need to find the cause BEFORE you start buying parts. This is something you can do yourself.

Applies to all 110 115 116 123 126 201 124 140 diesels from 1961 to 1994. From my many years of working professionally on Mercedes diesels I have learned fuel injectors are the single most neglected maintenance item. I believe there are a number of reasons for this.
Cleaning out the carbon is a MUST anytime you change glow plugs in these engines. If you don't do this your engine will not run as well a startup and it will shorten the life of the new plugs. This is a high quality custom made glow reamer. All steel body. Made by Kent Bergsma.
