Fixin' to fix IP seals. What about the throttle?
I am about ready to take on the delivery valve seals on my '95 E300D. Rented the goofy socket (Thanks, Paul. I promise to return it some day). Got copper washers and new o-rings at the dealer. Loaded up on Viton o-rings and some Viton line for other plumbing issues I may encounter. Finished hanging Christmas lights with the neighbors.
During a break in the rain and drizzle this weekend I raised the hood to start to plan my assault. I know I need to take the cross over pipe off, and I think I see all the fasteners for it. Next, the intake manifold comes off, and I think I see the bolts for that. Here's my question: The throttle cable comes across the top of the engine, and is connected to a valve over by the start of the cross over pipe. Do I have to disconnect any of the throttle linkages, or will the cross over and intake come off around the cables, brackets, toggles, sliders and springs? Thanks for the help! Tom |

Slow progress
The weather was clear today, so I got out under the hood of my '95 E300D (W124 606.910). I'm having trouble getting the crossover pipe off, so this will have to be completed another day. Also, I found it hard to reach all connectors on the washer fluid reservoir. I think there are a couple of things I need to be ready for when I come back at this:
Rather than completely give up, I decided to change the fuel filter. I had a towel over the belt, and paper towels at hand. Plenty of fuel comes out when loosening things. I had read a tip about using a turkey baster to siphon some off. Even doing that, I found that there was a small, steady jet of diesel the whole time I had the spin-on filter out of place. Speed is a necessity. One of my impediments was figuring out where the new O-rings went on the bolt. I saw one in a deep recess above the hole, but the smaller one was nowhere to be found. I'm a bit stumped on that one. It looked like it might fit on the section of the bolt where the hole is, so that is what I went with. If anyone has a picture that can clear this up for me, I would appreciate it. The car starts, and I don't see fuel jetting or seeping around the filter, so I am feeling good so far. If anyone has hints about getting the cross pipe off, please share. Thanks, Tom

Spoke too soon

I had problems with the o-rings on the filter bolt, so I expect I am having fun from that. We will see if tightening the bolt a touch more helps or hurts. Tom
