For all MBZ diesel engines 1950 to 1999. Designed by Kent Bergsma. These are built at Mercedessource to control quality and production demands. Each one is tested here in our shop before shipping.
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.
This is a "must-have" kit when adjusting release "pop" pressures on older diesel mechanical fuel injectors. It is the internal spring "shim" thickness that determines the exact pressure required for the release of fuel at the tip of the injector.
5/25/22 update: The precision nozzles included are now made for us by Wolfswerke-sachsen ( same company and same nozzle that was formerly branded as Monark). Yes!

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.
With these old gas fuel injectors, sometimes you just have to "back flush" the insides to restore them to peak performance. There is no guarantee that back flush cleaning will restore every old gasoline mechanical fuel injector. Some are just plain worn out.
Fits the following: These nozzles fit 1986 to 1993 603 Engines and 1987 (only) 124 chassis 300D and 300TD. Also fits 1994-1995 S350 ONLY. This is the critical inside wear part of the injector that delivers the fuel spray into the cylinder.

Would you like to find out how well your old (1959 to 1972) mechancial gasoline fuel injectors are working? Now you can do it yourself at home with our custom bench mount hand pump pressure tester and cleaning kit. These are the full instructions that come FREE with the kit.
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.
Works on 110, 115, 116, 123, 201, 126 and 124 diesel engines 200D 220D 240D 300D 300CD 300TD 300SD 190D 300SDL. We have found that over half of the deep sockets we test will not go over some of the longer injectors.
While working on the fuel injectors of a 240D this week, Kent finally decided he had had enough. After 20 years of fighting those fuel injector return hoses he decided he just had to come up with a tool to make the job easier. 2 hours later the tool was designed and the prototype made.
Any time you are removing and replacing your fuel injectors you will need to change the return hose and the heat shield crush washers. If you don’t, you will have leaking hoses and possible compression leaks at the injector nozzles.
For 1986 to 1993 with OM 603 6-cylinder 300D 300TD 300SD 300SDL 350SD and 350SDL. Also fits 1994-1995 S350. This kit includes Kent's new version 3 pressure tester. Watch the first video below to learn more about its key features.

When “rebuilding” an old Bosch mechanical fuel injector, replacing the nozzle is usually enough get it working again at peak performance. But sometimes you will run into a fuel injector that just won't fire right nor product a correct fan spray pattern.
If you acquire an older Mercedes diesel and want to test those large Bosch injectors with your V3 gasoline bench tester, you will need 4 things to complete the conversion: 3000 PSI gauge, our new capture bottle to hold the larger injectors, injector sealing kit, and Kent’s written manual and vid
FITS THE FOLLOWING: All Mercedes Diesel engines from 1968 to 1999. This includes 115, 123, 116, 126, 201, 124 and early 140 chassis. Also 210 Chassis E300D to 1999, 220D 240D 300D 300TD 300CD 190D 300SD and 300SDL.
We know that many of you own multiple Mercedes, including both gas and diesel models. If you own one of Kent’s fuel injector pressure testers you no doubt will want to test all your applicable mechanical fuel injectors in both types of older engines.

If you are new to older Mercedes diesels and have not worked on them before, this is one of the first things you want to learn. Especially if you ever run out of fuel. Without knowing how to do this you will never get the engine started again!
UPS ground shipping only. Can not be shipped internationally. Rather than try to explain what this kit does and how it does it we are going to ask you to watch the video below if you have not already done so.
In this video Kent will walk you through the step-by-step procedures he uses when diagnosing and repairing an older Mercedes diesel engine that either won't start or is very difficult to start.
If you are going to buy or have just purchased an older 4 cylinder Mercedes Diesel the first thing you need to do is a good physical exam of the engine. It is even better to do this BEFORE you purchase the car to prevent surprises and pain in your wallet.
If you are going to buy or have just purchased an older 5 cylinder Mercedes Diesel (1975 to 1985) the first thing you need to do is a good physical exam of the engine. Don't throw money at a car that has a dying engine.
Diesel engines make noise. Some ticking and rattling is normal and not something you should be concerned about. Certain loud knocking or rattling noises could be a sign that something bad is happening to the engine, especially if the noise comes on suddenly.
This video is specifically for setting up and using Kent's newest version of his diesel fuel injector bench mount tester. It does not contain any information on the actual process of cleaning or rebuilding a fuel injector.

Kent's procedure uses the factory recommended "drip tube method" but with a "twist." He has devised a way to get accurate and consistant IP timing results while trying to get the drip tube to drip at one drip per second exactly when it should!
If your turbo diesel is just not producing enough power during acceleration and you know the engine is healthy and all filters are clear - this unit could be the problem. Good used ALDA assembly removed from a good running 300D engine.

Damage to these is becomming more common as they engines age. If your fuel injectors are not firing fuel properly the ends of the prechambers cac burn right off causing all sorts of "weird" engine performance problems.
For use on all*** Mercedes diesels 1959 to 1993. BUT PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE SOME LIMITATIONS ON THE LATER MODELS. Test compression on 110, 115, 116, 123, 126, 201,124 AND 140 chassis. Almost ALL models up through 1987 can be tested through the fuel injector hole.
Leaking fuel injector pumps have become a very common problem in the 60x. engines produced from the mid 1980s to the mid 1990s. The early 60x.
A faulty or improperly adjusted rack damper bolt can cause your 617 5 cylinder turbo diesel engine to “rock” when it is idling. This means the engine will seem like it is changing speed up and down ever so slightly.
Leaking fuel injector pumps have become a very common problem in the 60x. engines produced from the mid 1980s to the mid 1990s. The early 60x.

If you are going to work on your diesel fuel injectors, you are going to need a torque wrench. If you are going to tighten your alloy wheel lug bolts properly, you should use a torque wrench. In fact, if you do your own work, you should have a 1/2-inch clicker torque wrench in your toolbox.
