Anyone ever thought of doing away with the precombustion chambers on a 5cyl 126 diese - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

You're not annoying me, and you won't get banned.

I agree that the electronic hardware is inexpensive, I was talking about the cost of redesigning the actual engine components (i.e., the head). I thought we were talking about converting from indirect injection to direct injection, which would require significant engine redesign. Just converting from a mechanical to electronic fuel injection system would require the installation of a fuel pump and a crank position sensor, in addition to the computer controls. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it would be a bunch of work.

On this issue I must agree with all of those who said: you want a DI engine in your w123? THEN GO AND BUY A NEW MB DI ENGINE AND FIT IT UNDER YOUR HOOD!!!
