The Car has 67K. By the looks of things you are way ahead of me by some 200,000. That is impressive to say the least........ What your secret?

I have long wanted a diesel Benz, nearly picked up an 80's 300D a few times, last month traded our 02 VW TDI in on this one. After about 3 weeks I started to get the common 96-97 surging problem. This forum gave me the info to correct the problem. I would love do away with build up in the intake and keep the "resonance flaps" free.

I have read on the TDi forum about higher combustion temps by blocking the EGR, but no one mentions the impact on engine reliability, hotter valves ect...

There is a temp sensor in the intake boot but this is before the EGR inlet, so shouldn’t detect the inlet air temp drop.

again WOW 274K on the 210, very nice.
