Hi Everyone, hi Brian... I just finished reading this thread from the begining and to be honest, I am VERY suprised that is still actual and live.

For the start I would like to introduce me and what I am doing. My name is Paul and 2 years ago I decided to transforme my Jeep Cherokee ´88 to a nice and reliable car...

My car was 2.1 Turbo Diesel (59kw) and when turbo starts going wrong I sold whole engine and start thinking about an engine swap.
I made decision that mercedes diesels are the best diesel engines ever made so I bought 1991 W124 300 turbo diesel mercedes as donor and took the engine with automatic transmission out.

I get the engine (OM 603.960, 147 hp) rebuilt as well and get it ready for swap.

And now, I would like to ask you for your help.
From the inside it was completely rebuilt and now I would like to get rid of all power taking things which are not necessary...

I am very pleased that Brian made a kit for EGR valve taking off. Is it still available Brian?

I would like to add some pictures of my engine and could you tell me what can I disconnect and what not please?

I am sure I do not need all the mess but need to use mercedes auto transmission..

Do you anyone has any prospect with engine and transmission parts description?

Thanks very much
