Hello everybody! new to the mercedes diesel scene. tinkered with many gm 6.5 turbo and 6.2 diesel, but just bought a 1992 300sd project. Read some post concerning my issues and they seem to be common problems. noisey valves, wire harness from mass air sensor dry rotted, at WOT loads up with smoke. The car was neglected and then sat over a year, that explains alot. Runs strong no to little smoke in normal operation. 250K plenty of power. I hope with some TLC I can clear up some of the issues. Have some question to get started.
1.Wire harness, where is the cheapest place to get one? if I can? Has anyone ever made there own?
2. diesel purge? Is this a brand name? injection cleaner? please some info?
3. rims. will 17 or 18inch amg rims fit on it?
4. Does anyone carry a K&N style air filter?
Thank you for any input. I'm sure this is the first of many post.
