Digby Returns Home After 20 Years Part 6: Grim Diagnosis Leads to Trying Alternative Medicine

Thorough tests indicate Digby's OM617 diesel engine may be dying, but there is always hope. Watch the full Digby video series here: • Operation Save Digby: ...
6 indicators lead me to believe it is worth trying some alternative measures in an attempt to heal cylinder #3.

I'm looking forward to seeing the next video. I don't own Mercedes, never have. Not even a Mercedes fan. But I stumbled on your channel a couple weeks ago and I am hooked. Not really sure why...

Welcome to the club. You just said what I was thinking.

I put about 2 oz of 2 stroke synthetic motor oil in my fuel tank every fill up to provide some lubrication back to the fuel.

I like this review step by step within teh video as you are explaining the issues.

I didn't know that the formula for diesel changed let alone what the composition is. Guess it's as bad as ethanol gas. Adding some 2 cycle oil to ethanol gas on older cars specifically a 380SL really helped.

Please don't let Digby die!

Since it runs good off of idle, I would just drive it until it died. I have a 240 that needed rings/piston in #2 and drove it downtown Atlanta for 6 years and finally sold it to someone else. at Idle it sounded like $2.00 work of nickels in a clothes dryer.

Did you ever find the problem with “Digby”? I would love to hear about it.

Was debating between an older diesel Mercedes and a 94-96 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham with the LT1 V8. I have enjoyed all your videos.

[@dankennedy8757]

DEFFINATLY the mercedes. But Ill say this, Cadillac are nice but you better watch that head gasket

Brilliant!

Rather than a mountain trip, to get a high service duty cycle: Tow a heavy trailer for an hour!
