Is this the same engine in a 1991 300D?

💪🎩👍 super!

Delete the Airbox and replace it with a cold air intake with a smooth metal turbo inlet pipe. Delete and remove the whole entire EGR system. This emissions standards are all bullshit.

Music 🎶 😍

Can you please tell me Where the spark plugs are? 😅

My dad had this same series 300 SD. Great memories.

Does this method work on a S70 or C70?

Thank you so much for this video! Gotta replace my antenna! The comment about the husband and radio needs was hilarious! Very helpful and informal, with a touch of comedy!

I noticed your reversing valve was bypassed. In my case it was missing altogether. Installing a new one was a night and day difference.

Hello i have a 1987 mercedes 300d when you shift into foreward or reverse gear it takes a couple seconds for transmission to engage. It drives ok and doesn't slip but when its cold it shifts a bit hard from 1st to 2nd. After its warmed up a few min it shifts nice. The transmission fluid and filter are new synthetic fluid and oem filter and gasket. . Old fluid looked good with no metal. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. Robert

Looks like an S70. Same thing happened to me though. Felt awful as I'm sure you did. This classic is the only car I have with a power antenna. The kid at the car wash didn't understand what a power antenna was and was almost ready to reimburse me for it. So at that point I'm feeling old AND dumb.

Thanks for this video, I have a OM615 engine and transmission and when I start the car, not always does it want to go in first or reverse. I pump the clutch a few times, and hold the shifter to go in gear, the car would roll forward a bit, but not going in gear. When I turn the engine off, it would go in, and then i start in gear, stuff like this. I am not sure if this engine operates in the same way as this one with that vacuum line, I will check it when I get to the car, but what do you think? Thanks!

What causes yhis car to not go into reverse?

yea, mine dont start this good. then again i only have 2 functioning glow plugs.

Beautiful! Shame about the American headlights and bumpers, but I blame the US government.

That OM617 engine is identical to the one in my 300D

My daily driver is a W123 300D. I’ve had it for a little over 2 years and love it. I have put a lot of time into repairing and restoring it though. But it’s running great now.

Turbo?

Love it

Thanks for this video! I have exactly the same problem with my Volvo S90 from 1997, also a carwash incident…… going to try later today to fix it.

Love goin full throttle

i love the cute funny little buzzers on these old cars!

Does yours only start in neutral just got one today and it only starts in neutral

I always wondered why Mercedes for US market are always starting to beep constantly when you just put the key into the ignition switch 😅 In fact, the same models for European market doesn't beep at all, they only do beep once when you have service message on display, for example broken headlight bulb 😄

if you do it the right way (it takes time) you actually can remove more oil by vacuum than gravity, you put the cap on tight, pass the vacuum tube thru the center of a conic rubber cap (brewing cap) to create a seal on the deep stick tube, and take off the breather hose on top of the valve cover, while your device sucks vacuum place your thumb on the valve cover hole and allow it to create negative pressure (vacuum) when you take away your thumb all the left over oil hiding deep inside the engine will be forced towards the vacuum source. it takes a long time around 1 hour but it will come out.

How did you hire the guy from Big Bang Theory to narrate your videos??

My 83 300sd will do that once in awhile, I just press the brake pedal and shuts it right down.

The best w126

Proper diagnostics can make things much easier. Since many things are controlled by vac, a visual check would be the first thing to do. After that an actual vac test would be next on each individual line or system. A loss on one line will affect the others.

Who would have thought something so simple could be such a meaningful fix! Thanks to your video I avoided a whole host of trouble shooting that would have taken countless hours and lots of $$$.... Culprit vacuum line found dangling and issue resolved! You're a STAR!

Looks familiar...

Great job!!!! I did not know that I own one of those w126😊

what size was the rubber line?

Nice. I like that BMW X3 on the driveway too

Very good info, thanks for the post.

Do you want to sell your car

Which car do you like best? The 300SD or the 300 SDL - and why? Can you please share your experience? Here in Germany are plenty of inexpensive 300SD, but I actually want a 300SDL - I'm thinking of making a compromise.... Marlon

Most any loss of vacuum will cause this problem. So for a quick check, just pinch off each vac hose and wait about 5 seconds. If it stops, then you know the problem is on that circuit. If not, keep going till you find the bad circuit. Then with a hand vac pump and some locking tweezers, you search for the leak. Do not forget that behind the switch is a vac switch and it has 2 hoses. They get soft from oil and also come off. Course the first thing you check is if the shutoff vac unit does not have a leak. Then make sure the pump is producing enough vac. It's actually rather easy.

Well this car is 1000 times better than a goddamn Tesla.

*Promo sm* 😌

Very nice car! Thanks for the inspiration with those LED headlights. It's very hard to find one good 300sdl here in Germany. I'm very jealous - enjoy your car and keep it!!! God bless you. Marlon

Sweet looking 300SDL my dream car are those LED headlights on it. Keep it looking pristine condition

You know I feel like an idiot for not thinking to look at the line going from the vcc to the transmission. I can’t wait to get home and see if that is what it is on my W116 300SD. Beautiful W126 car by the way and great video really appreciate it!

Them some noisy ass engines!

I love it that, even with the bonnet open, from inside the car you can’t hear whether the engine is running or not. So classy.
