valve adjustment ?
 

when do I know my 300D needs it ? 215k+ what other work I should be doing soon ?


planing on buying this from diesel giant and doing it all one shot


The Diesel Complete Car filter Kit includes:

• 1 (1) Oil Filter
• Two (2) Cans of Diesel Purge
• One (1) Spin on Fuel Filter
• One (1) Spin on Filter "O" ring
• Three (3) Inline Fuel Filters
• One (1) can of Diesel High Test
• One (1) Air Filter
• One (1) Transmission Service Kit
• One (1) Power Steering Filter
• One (1) set of Valve Adjusting Wrenches
• Access to my web site pictorial and phone access to me if you have any questions

It's supposed to be once every 12K miles.

Are there any leaky spots that you can pay attention to while you're there?

If you haven't replaced it recently, you might also consider a new valve cover seal, since it'll already be off.

I'm not entirely sure of the layout of the engine in the 300d, but if it's like the 300SD where the air filter is mounted above the engine, on little rubber vibration dampers, I'd consider at least ordering more of them, just in case you find that one or more of them have given up the ghost, when you pull the filter housing to get at the valve cover. (I'm not sure diesel giant sells them, but they're cheap just about anywhere. Here with Phil who hosts the forum for instance? :D )


Best of luck, and happy holiday wrenching!

oh great. Noone told me that before I bought the benz lol :D, I can do that

A 1993 300D 2,5TD (om602) doesn`t need valve adjustment.
A om617 does.

Damn, I am so egocentric that I assumed he had a 300D like me.:o

The OM617 and the OM 616 need the valves adjusted every 15,000 miles. Nothing wrong with doing it earlier, though.

So if I have the OM602 I don't need it at all ?

The russian site would tell me what I have using the vin right ?

The OM 602 uses hydraulic lifters. No need to waste money on the tools.

Also have you looked at FastLane for some of those items?

DieselGiant is good, but the pricing is very high. The videos are good though.

Here is an example. Frigiquite oil, DG sells for $29.99 plus shipping. Local BG rep sells the same thing for $12, and delivers it to you.

Check out the transmission modulator test hose (gauge not included) for $35.50!!!

Six feet of German vacuum hose and a tee. I suppose that it's critical to use German hose when measuring German vacuum!!!

Is fastlane like an autozone or pepboys ? we dont have any of them here I will just go to the local napa I guess

Fastlane are the site sponsors and good to do buisiness with. Knowledgeable as well. Check them out on the opening page. On line cataloge is there. .

yea thanks I used all parts express already to buy a set of floor mats and didnt see the other name up there its the same company anyway isnt it

Basically nothing in that kit is compatible with a 93 model.

how so ?
