92 300D 2.5T - Carbon Sludge in Crossover and Intake
I purchased this vehicle about 18 months ago with 153K. It is not a daily driver. When driven it is on trips of several hundred miles at 75 - 80 mph. I recently had the vacuum shutoff valve go bad at approximately 160K. I decided if I was going to replace the shut off valve I would do a complete glow plug replacement, replace injector nozzles then balance injectors and of course replace the return fuel lines. I purchased evrything threw Mercedes Source and the job has been straight forward.

1984 190D Cylinder 3 Misfires
My 1984 190D 2.2L sounds like it's missing on one cylinder, there is a chuffing sound coming from the tail pipe. There is also a knocking sound that is most easily heard when letting off the throttle.
I did a compression test and all four cylinders were between 420-440 psi which was encouraging. Then I ran two cans of diesel purge through but there was no change, even while the car was running on the diesel purge.
