    OM642 thermostat replacement

    Dont take this the wrong way but what is the point of asking the same questions over and then not taking the advice? Remove the intercooler pipes and fuel filter pipes and all is open before you do it buy the turbo inlet and pcv valve seals to replace them also buy yourself the green intercooler...

    OM642 thermostat replacement

    Sounds like the stat to me, mine did exactly the same thing on my E350 would never get warm always hovered around halfway and if sat in traffic it would actually cool down with the AC on coasting also causes it to cool, pain to do but not massivly, replace the seals on the air feed to...

    OM642: Garrett GTB2365vk

    Lots of armchair "experts" who frankly have no clues ok a single paragraph from the ACEA who I think you have to agree know a thing or two about fuels and engines after that am done with this thread do what you will, and the last time I looked we were not talking 2 strokes Science says " By...

    OM642: Garrett GTB2365vk

    Ok well you try running one in the real world like that and see what happens, it also depends on where exactly the sensor is fitted, Garrett Gasoline Variable valve turbos are said by garrett to be capable of 1020 deg C, what you need to consider is the differing burn characteristics of the two...

    And the standard spec engine that has 800C EGTs? A Diesel Engine is a Diesel engine be it 1 cylinder or 8, 2hp or 560hp the EGTs work the same except of course non turbos are not that critical downstream. EGTs on HGVs pulling weights are ultra critical, the road from Cape to Malawi is actually...

    OM642: Garrett GTB2365vk

    Really ok well carry on then, but seeing as my Dad and his Brother run a fleet of HGVs pulling 50 tons plus and twin trailers from Capetown to Malawi every Day and have for the last 30 years I think I know a thing or two about EGTs, dont listen to this blithering fool anything continuous over...

    S212 (air) suspension drop, deliberate maybe?

    Nope they level regardless of loads that's the whole point of it, is it full air or just rear? If it's had parts changed it normally will need calibration if it's the full system, I know mine always has to be done if any major changes are made or it just defaults to factory sports setting which...

    W212 E350 Build "The Boat"

    Custom stainless system Turbo back its become a lot growlier (is that even a word!) now and sounds great whats surprising is how much the whole system actually grows when its hot look at the length after the bumper when cool and after a bit of heat gets in to it

    Helppp Timing Chain issue

    I cant say if it will eradicate the noise because I have no idea why its noisy, however what it will do is move around the Engine faster on cold starts where 75% or more of wear takes place, oils or at least Car Engine oils are based on Viscosity for most parts so if we look for example at the...

    Helppp Timing Chain issue

    Personally I use 0W 40 Mobil 1 irrespective of engine and always have i just prefer it for cold starts as its literally like water, have never had any wear issues on any of my vehicles and 1 did cover well over 300k

    Undulating noise esp. around 40-60 mph (E220CDI S212 auto)

    swap the tyres front to rear and side to side first, its not uncommon for some tyres to develop a hum as they wear especially All season Tyres which in some cases can seem really extreme, it does sound like a prop bearing though

    Helppp Timing Chain issue

    make sure you use a decent filter which has a valve to stop bleedback to the sump and that the oil is thin enough to get round first thing on cold days

    E350 CDI Rough idle when cold

    How did you delete the EGR? Mine has no EGR/DPF and a custom intercooler and exhaust and runs the same now as it always has in terms of tickover etc apart from the aggravating DPF cleans which causes high idles, it also idles high when its cold but that is normal once warm drops to about 600...

    Knocking of the Mercedes 212 chassis from the front

    Front shocks should not be wet if they are then they are probably leaking, however a few things to look at obviously all the bushes especially the anti roll bars, also look at the strut tops they have bearings and bushes that can wear however if they have worn and the shocks etc have not been...

    Hmm ok bear in mind Aluminium castings will start to melt before that, the Damage from high EGT is progressive from heatsoak, you will also cook the oil in the turbo bearings if you run it at those temps consistently and block the oilway stay below 700c or it will end in tears
