I wanted to share this info. that I have found with the members of this forum regarding the favorite topic of HOT START problems.

I think the VW TDI guys have come up with hot start solutions information that should be able to be easily applied to vintage and other Mercedes that have HOT Start problems.

The discssions solutions are from a VW TDI forum and as far as I can see, are sound. Assumptions are that the car is in good tune and there no other issues that could be causing hard starting.

Here is the first of many pages that discusses the problem and you will need to read through page 8 to view the Hot start solutions. There are also pictures and wiring diagrams.

Page 1 of one discussion starts here:

Comments are welcomed, even if I'm all wet, but I don't think so.
