The TD is more dependent on a healthy lift pump than the sedan since the fuel tank is mounted so low in the TD. So, it could be a weak lift pump.

Fixed half dozen or so other vacuum lines., replaced a headlight, replaced all the rear lights as only one was working. refitted the 85 air cleaner housing and vent tube as I believe it should be. looks better. replaced all the plastic thumb screws that hold the bezels for the headlights. PO had bolts there, which make it a real pita to change a headlight if you where to be on the road... WIll just keep checking stuff off the list. This car actually needs a LOT less attention than the 82 did. |

I'm jealous. I called to look at that car, but it was gone before I could get down there. Oh well, I need another project like I need another hole in my head.

that said it is no negative to have the turbo in my mind.

I don't remember there being a Tach. But It's been awhile. Did a little more looking around and found another with turbo, and the same clock here... I GOT MY MENTORS CAR!!! 1985 euro 300TD pix!! - Benzworld.org - Mercedes-Benz Discussion Forum Edit on reading he does not actually say anything about turbo... My original owners manual has reference to it on the cover Listing a 300TD and a 300TD-Turbo Diesel (A 300TDTD ?) So, did the 85 Euro have a turbo option of not? OR have all these been swapped later? |

It has a bad mount on the pass side, so I'll replace that today after I play detective and try to track down this vent for the tank. Then I'll do a valve adjustment just to know it's been done. Check the timing stretch ect... |
