is always the fuel filter. this is most likely your problem. remember there are two to change. after changing them you will need to use the prime pump to get the air out. if that fails you can remove the air cleaner and spray wd40 right into the intake. the car will run on the spray til the fuel line is purged of air.

if you find a lot of black dots in the small fuel filter you have fungus in the tank. this will require a few doses of fungicide for diesel fuel buyable at truck tractor and marine suppliers.

good luck

benz diesels are the best!
