What a good one! I did not realize you were here as well! At least I am consistent in my comments!

Drop me a line if you come in Montreal area, I'll congratulate you in person.

Cheers,

Not to change the thread too much, but what's up with that rhythmic knocking sound? I don't get that on my 606. Have you got a weak lifter or a bad motor mount? It seems to happen once per rev and is audible in both the first two videos on the 'flip the switch' entry. I get the same diesel/valvetrain noise over the idling engine, but there's definitely a thumping there that my 606 doesn't have.

I've been chucking SVO in mine for a while. No flames yet. I'm wondering what BIOpower is on about tbh.

However, you may want to read this:

Although I'm interested to know how often he changed the oil.


By the way, just to annoy you all, I could go and buy a 320CDi this week if I wanted for only £4000 - about $8000 for you.

98 mb td looking for a good mechanic to convert to run on veggie.

.

A Mercedes engine and a VW engine are two different beasts.

Each with there own type of injection system.
Indirect verses Direct injection
Different injection pumps.

And these seem to be the two major determinants of whether
an engine will run well on veggie or not.

ANY diesel can run on veggie, if they should is a different matter.
