Depending on your location, make the correct choice whether or not to pull start. However, non turbo diesel Mercedes, older and warn, tend to never start again if they have considerable wear and have sat for an extended period of time such as this one. If you can't start it normally, pulling it is your only option. I have had over 100 different diesel Mercedes, sometimes they need to be "pulled" back to life.

Do not put a dime into this car until you get it started and it runs out okay.
