I have a two tank SVO system on my Merc with 310,000 Kms on the clock - 100,000 Kms are mine most on SVO. I have never been stumped, held up or broken down before. The engine starts and shuts down on diesel.
The problem- I was away for a week and my Merc sat idle. When I came back the Merc started hesitantly (low battery). I drove about 20 Kms and the next day she would not start for love nor money; totally dead. Not even a kick from one cyllinder.
I checked;
Lift pump ok, replaced with electric lift pump & still no go.
IP moving fuel when lines cracked.
Cam timing marks and harmonic balancer marks line up ok.
Valve clearance not binding,
Glow plugs working, has the Mercedessource fast plugs installed. Best thing ever.
The injectors were re-newed 8 months ago,
