Answers?
I have a couple of ideas but first need to understand a few answers to some of the earlier questions before trying to prescribe a solution to the core problem.
Did you locate the electrical cord and male plug for the engine block heater? If yes, did you plug it in to a live electrical circuit for at least 5 hours or more before you tried to crank with the ignition key? Third, did you use the manual fuel primer pump until your were confident the lines are presurized? Finally, using the ignition key, did you cycle the glow plugs several times and then spin the engine continuously for a good long time (perhaps as much as up to two minutes)...or did you stop before 60 seconds?

Edit
Let me edit my earlier post...
Please do not operate your starter for longer than 15 seconds without a rest for the starter in between attempts of at least one minute to allow the starter to COOL off. I promise you will not like R+R ing the starter on this model Mercedes(It damn near killed me to have to do it with the car on a set of ramps from underneath!) HINT:Find the block heater cord and plug it in for some hours(at least 3) With fuel and compression the SD will start in 3 revolutions or less. |

GPs ... 4 the asking!
Been in a fiscal crunch MANY, MANY times!
I've got two used, but working, BOSCH GPs you are welcome to. PM me with an address, I'll put them in the mail. That'll give you 3 working plugs. I pulled these out of my 1983 240D OM616, pencil tip. Think they will work for you. Anyone else? Only 2 plugs shy of full compliment! Baby that tranny! |

Thanks Billy!
I think you said that very well. I thought of it, but decided to hold back this time.
