On the 80-85 MB diesels, I know the ALDA is conneected to a banjo fitting, which when clogged with soot and stuff, will render the ALDA less effective. I have an 87 300Td, and I know where the ALDA is, but I can;t seem to find that same banjo fitting that I need to clean out. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks, Jack D

Should just be the fitting on the intake manifold that runs to the overboost valve.

Thanks. Did you see my post ni the next thread about my other issue. If you could have a look, and let me knwo what you think? thanks, Jack D

But that's not a banjo fitting, it's just a simple nipple. If you take it out and clean it, don't go crazy when you tighten it back on the intake.
