Fuel filters first, even if they're recently replaced, and check the air filter for obstructions.

I'm pretty sure that the ALDA is dual-purpose; acts as an altitude compensation device to prevent the black-clouds at altitude that you could otherwise produce.

At 11,000' you only have 2/3 of the...

The 602 on my '87 190Dturbo ran a little weak, ALDA was adjusted and it perked up nicely without any smoke. I don't like smokey takeoffs, diesels have enough PR problems and I don't want my cars to...

My 603 with the alda turned up 1turn will leave a black puff at the starting line from a full-throttle take-off. It is just a small black puff for a fraction of a second, probably as the turbo starts...

$2200 is a bunch to pay if you're not in it for the long-haul. A shame, they really are fun and dependable cars when sorted out.

However, the IP usually doesn't fail in the 60x engines unless run...

What is the upshift RPM? If your transmission is shifting early, you won't make enough boost/power to go very fast, had that problem with my 602. Try shifting manually and see what she will do. Could...

Jeremy:

I haven't seen anywhere in this thread whether you have checked the switchover valve and vacuum lines to it. Bypass it and see if this helps. If it's in another thread, I apologize for...

You have a W124 body, and a 603 engine. Good cars, don't overheat the engine and it'll treat you well, in good tune it'll get to 60mph in under 9seconds with smooth shifts.

So far it is my...

It would help to know the year/model, your first post as a 300dt could be a turbo 300D 123 body 5-cyl, 300D turbo 124body 6-cyl 603, or 300D 2.5turbo 5-cyl 602.

On the 124 body the button under...

Yes you can take it off. You can also adjust it, which is the method I prefer, somewhere around 1-1/2 turns out / CCW is the commonly accepted initial adjustment.

I backed mine off 1-1/2 turn, per most suggestions here, to correct my soft off-idle response. It was too much IMO.

The off-boost response has increased dramatically, although there is still a...

Give it a fuel filter. If the filter is not full when removing it, you have an air leak and/or a plugged filter. If full then ??

I am a bit concerned, if the overboost protection is disabled (evident in the photo) and the wastegate doesn't work, that it could have overboosted for an extended period on your highway run-up.

603, Alda, and Overfueling

My latest 603 acquisition was a really weak runner. Fixed the switchover valve, now have on-boost power.

10-11seconds and you're done? At least get back down to the original 8.7sec. 0-55 time before you give up.

BTW, with 2.65:1 gears it'll take a lot to spin tires on dry pavement.
