Pic Request: OM606 NA
 

If anyone here owns a 95 E300D could you please take some pictures of the throttle cable linkage that mounts to the head for me. (I know I know its a diesel, no throttle etc etc)

I need reference shots for my 606 swap and I want to piece together the parts I need so I can order the bare minimum from the dealership.

Pics from above, close up, shots if you can of where it meets the injection pump.. etc. I've attached what EPC shows so I just need to see it in place as the center of attention. I've been pouring over tons of videos and photos of 606's just hoping for some reference shots of this piece but no one really pays much attention to it.

I'd rather spend the $100-150 on this linkage than cobble together a mess of linkages from the junk yard since this is one of the main pieces to get the 606 to work in the earlier w124.

much appreciated.

Darn it, just sat down. I just put everything back together after replacing all the fuel lines to the IP. Sorry, it's been a long day of wrenching... and I'm not pulling it all apart again.

What do you want a picture of specifically? I'll be back in there later this week. Are you looking for screw points? Where the linkage sits in the manifold?

Yes, bolt points, where the linkage sits, and high res shots of the linkage set up. Once I get my pump in I will be able to determine what else I need.

The plate by number 74 is not able to be selected in EPC so I wonder if its on the IP or not available. #74 is a bolt apparently.

Pictures
 

Here's a picture I took when I was deleting the throttle flap. I don't have any detailed pictures at the moment.

Ran out and took these for you. Note this car is for off road use and does not have the flap on the intake in operation thus the linkage is missing.

I don't even run a fan shroud. Note too the air filter I'm running. All that stuff got taken out when the wife rear ended a Bronco.

This car just turned over 300k miles:).

So the spring with the x is not needed, sweet less stuff to buy.

I'm curious about the linkage that connects to the injection pump. I have a handful of links from. 617 won't know if I have correct length links until I have the throttle assembly ordered and mounted. I'll have to cut the web out between the intake runners.

The case of the missing links
 

I had often whined about the heavy accelerator pedal feel; while deleting the flap, I ran into [on line] a gentleman who suggested removing the spring. The result is a much lighter feel but the mechanism tends to hang up and not return to idle due to dirt/friction in the linkage. I replaced with all-metal links the existing plastic-ended links that connect the linkage down and back to the IP and the cruise control actuator. The all-metal links, properly lubricated (I used anti-seize) eliminated the friction problem.

You wold t happen to still have the plastic links would you?

I've got a few miscellanous links if they would help you.

I probably have the originals put away somewhere. If you like, I could build you a set of all-metal links like the one in the picture.

You'd have a second customer here for those.

I just need the measurments, I'm fully capable of making my own most likely. I have a ton of linkages to pick and choose from and tap and die sets..

The N/A Inlet-manifold is different, so you'll possibly need to make a few holes between the runners and add a few mounts for the linkage.....

This I know and had mentioned. I just have to cut out a short section between the runner for IIRC cyl 2 and 3
