98mph. 1985 300D, (dirty plugged filters + previous owner lack of maintenance)
Normally I drive pretty frugal but today on the interstate on a flat road I opened it up. Just wanted to see what it would do.

98mph at 4200 rpm.The previous owner had mentioned that he never replaced the injectors in the 7 years that he owned. I m betting that the injectors are factory new. Probably carboned up with cones blocked and out of spec on pop pressure.

Does any forum member rebuild or exchange injectors?
