hello all,

finally tried a benz to see how they compare to the vw around here.

this one has 343000km/213130miles. paid 2500CND

body is fairly clean runs smooth, quiet so i think the engine is fine; no compression test as these benz diesel are sold real fast and for quite a bit even here (Montreal).

INSIDE IS VERY CLEAN THE EXHAUST HAS MANDREL BENDS THAT LOOK LIKE 2.5", DUAL TIP EXHAUST, HEATED SEATS, SUNROOF, ONE RUSTED STOP ON DOOR BETWEEN RUBBER AND BODY.

HERE ARE SOME SHOT OF THE ENGINE AND THE LEAKS.


THIS MUCH OIL AND DIESEL LOST IN 3 HOURS AND THE OIL CHANGE WAS DOEN 3K AGO AS I SAW THE STICKER.



I GUESS THIS OIL BUILD UP IS FROM THE VALVE COVER PRESSURE FITTING.



BEHIND THE INJECTION PUMP



ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THAT ROUND PART IS A TRANSPARENT FUEL FILTER BUT I CAN SEE UNCOVERED DIESEL WHEN I LOOK INTO THE ROUND "THINKY" OR CYLENDER STYLE PART.



THIS IS THE SIDE VIEW OF THE CYLENDER THINGY THAT IS THE FEEDLINE TO THE IP AND I THINK IS WHERE THE DIESEL LEAK IS COMING FROM



THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION OF WHAT THE LEAKS ARE SINCE THEY ARE RIGHT BELOW THE DIESEL LEAK.



ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
