Greetings All,

This question might be for the more experienced MB mechanic, but all are welcomed to provide their input. I have an '80 300TD wagon with an IP that has an altitude compensator on it. This car originally came from Calif. and probably had a use for this device, but the car now lives in Missouri. After reading the MB diesel manual on the engine and the IP and altitude compensator, it never does go into any detail at all about it's adjustment etc. My question is how can one test the compensator to see if it's properly adjusted for my location, or that it's not causing some type of adverse reaction to me pushing on the go pedal? I couldn't tell you if it's ever been messed with or misadjusted, but I'd like to see that it's not causing problems it shouldn't at the altitude that I am not located at. Any input or feedback as always is greatly appreciated and considered for repair or testing this thing out.

Thanks,

Charles
