Developed a ticking noise about a month ago and also noticed that my oil pressure had dropped abit. But the lowered oil pressure did not alert me to anything that would associate with the ticking noise. It should have but tnx to Donnie, it's now fixed!
Donnie has alerted me and others about the infamous oil
tubes used in the 119 engine. Also on the CD-ROM, there's a MB TSB (issued in '95) about these oil
tubes.
What goes wrong?? Check this picture of an oil tube removed from my engine this morning. Actually there were
two with the ends blown out!! One on cyclinder #2 and the other on #3. How about that!!
The oil pressure is back to normal (stays around '2' bar) at idle and
NO MORE TICK!
Tnx DONNIE!
