Replace/Rebuild Inj Pump?
I've recently replaced the nozzles with your kit for my 300CD non turbo. The car ran great for two days, then it quit in a big way. I've replaced the filters,lift pump, bled the air out of the system and can now only get her started with the fast idle turned up. Lots of smoke, I mean LOTS of smoke and when the temp starts to come up and I turn the idle down she dies. She'll restart with the idle turned back up, and still all the smoke.
I'm getting ready to pull the Injection Pump to have it gone through, or is there something that I'm missing?

Diesel starting problems - cont.
My daughter has her 1985 300D at school in upstate NY, I'm in Missouri. She can't get her car started. I changed the pre-glow relay just befor she drove to NY, for the first time, in March. The initial problem was that the glow light never went off, the relay fixed that. A couple of weeks after she got to school she mentioned that the glow light stayed on after she started the car. Ignition on, light on, light off, start car, light back on always. This is different than the original problem when the light never went off during the pre-glow phase.

84 300SD Battery Drain
Anyone know how to diagnose a battery drain in a 126- 1984 300SD? I just bought this car a few months back with a new battery. I guess I know why the guy who sold it to me put a new battery in right before he sold it......
The car starts when jumped. The battery is 3 months new. I tested it with a multimeter. After sitting for the night the battery is around 10. After its jumped the battery reads 13.5. The alternator is fine as far as I can tell. Never died on me while I was driving and the battery charges while the car is running.

87' 300TD NO A/C
Hello Everyone,
I just bought a 87' 300TD. The a/c is not working. I'm a ASE certified master tech but I have no experience with Mercedes. The climate control seems to be working OK. THe fan speed changes with the temp settings, the air blows from the correct ducts when swithched which usually indicates no vacuum leaks or sevo problems. But the A/C compressor clutch does not engage. I checked the high and low pressure switches on the high side a/c line near the sight glass and they are not getting any power to them so jumping them will not help. I've read that the a/c control cutout relay could be bad, but I don't like throwing new parts at a problem without verifying with a test 1st.
So can you tell me how to properly diagnos this ??
Thanks in advance for any help.

Testing Diesel Tranny Shifting Valve
Can anyone shed light on how to properly test a 617 Turbo Diesel Transmission Vacuum Shifting Valve? (See MercedesSource item BCM-COMTVSA for reference.) I have a used one that looks in good shape but is untested - so of course I want to check if it is actually in good shape before throwing it in. Thanks!
