103 Engine Quit Fix Guide
I am currently writing a diagnostic guide on how to troubleshoot and repair all the reasons why the 103 engine can quit on you. This 6 cylinder single cam gas engine was installed in the 190E 2.6, 300E, 300TE and 300CE. This guide will cover issues such as not starting at all, quitting cold, starting and then quitting, quitting slowly and just plain quitting whenever it feels like.

Drowned my 300td Help!
Hi:
I Live in NE New York & we got hit with flash flooding last Thur. To make a long story short, I drove into a "puddle" that was halfway up my door panel when the car stopped. It didn't sit long as I got pushed out, but... The air filter was soaking wet & water poured out of the turbo when I took the "U" thing off. The starter was fried & now "finally" replaced after many frustrating hours to get 2 bolts out. Anyway, I still can't get it started. Anybody have any ideas of the sequence of diagnosis/repair I should follow that would be applicable to my unsuccessful attempt at turning my wagon into a submarine? Thanks & Happy Thanksgiving!

My 1079 300d non turbo has been overheating for years. The problem is not severe but seems to be on the increase. The guage runs halfway between the midrange and the hottest. The car has 150K on it, and has underspec compression.

3 Way Electric Change Over Valve - Vacuum Solenoid
Not intended for use with the diesel ALDA overboost circuit.
How can I get my diesel to start better?
Answer: Reasons for hard starting can be related to a worn out engine, poor fuel delivery, and weak or failed glow plugs. If you know your glow plug relay fuse is ok and your glow plugs are working properly, then It is very important that you first adjust your valves (up to 1985 except 201 190D), do a complete diesel purge, and then replace all your fuel filters BEFORE doing anything else. There are a number of issues that can make your diesel hard to start. Over the new few weeks we expand on this topic. Feel free to jump in and post your questions or comments related to this subject here.
