I know that VW diesels, especially the 1.5s, can run away if the rings or vale stems are too worn, so it's certainly believable. I wondering if venting it into the crankcase instead of the intake had something to do w/ the going from a pneumatic governed pump to a mechanical governed pump... Were the OM615/616s just bored/stroked versions of the OM621? Googling shows a lot of part interchanges.
Edit- Forum search indicates they're more or less the same engine. Last edited by roflwaffle; 12-17-2008 at 10:13 AM. |

Mercedes was still venting into the intake, or more specificly the air cleaner, on the newer W123 cars. These cars no longer used the pneumatic governor.

Forget K&N filters,they are designed to remove money from the wallets of the gullible,not dirt from the air. Your oil bath is a superior system which is still used on heavy Diesels to protect them.
