I have the intake manifold off; I’m re-sealing the fuel lines. While I have the mainifold off, there it is – staring me in the face. An untouched ALDA unit with the plastic cap in place. It is SO tempting to adjust it, like on my 123 / 616. This car (1995 E300D) has plenty of oomph, but a little more couldn’t hurt…

But, WHAT TO DO??? Clockwise, or counter clockwise like on the 616? Or follow the old adage of “if it aint broke, don’t fix it”. Any opinions or suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks!

....“if it aint broke, don’t fix it”
That's my philosophy. Leave it alone. I would think since those engines have computer controls an uneeded ALDA adjustment may throw something out of wack.
