om606

So, I have had this 300D Multivalve for nearly 3 years, and it has always had a bit of a gearbox issue, particularly when cold. 1st to 2nd is harsh, and 2nd to 3rd flares. From what I've read, this is common. It is possible to minimise the effects by adjusting throttle accordingly at the...

Need to get my W124 E300d sorted out as i have noticed that on the last half dozen times that i've started it it has taken alot more effort. I have to pump the accelerator and keep the starter going before it catches and maintains enough revs to not stall, at the same time alot of smoke comes...

Am re posting this as I mucked it up first time round. Found this pipe lying near the battery, which is on the right hand side of my car, it's left hand drive, when sucked it opens/closes the valve on the air inlet tube, so it must need to be connected to something, any ideas? Have some links...

Hi sorry for the lack of photo evidence, broken camera, but whilst under the bonnet today I saw a black plastic pipe (approx 3mm od) loose near the bulkhead by the battery, right hand side of the car, (it's left hand drive). Sucking on the end of this pipe causes the air intake valve to...

I had a bad fuel leak on my e300td om606 (caused by me not connecting the clear lines properly when i changed them).... so i figured that as i had to take of the intake mani again to do it, i may as well do the seals on the delivery valves while there (trying to sort out a longstanding air leak...

hi WANTED - W124 E300D engine wiring loom wanted. Good or bad condition. all i really want it for if bad is to disect it and rebuild a new one. if its good and working, then even better as i cant just fit it. so whether its broke or not, i'm interested, but must be a W124 606 engined...

hi I was aware of the common issue with the wiring harness on the petrol W124s, but I didnt realise that the E300D would also suffer the same fate, but it appears it has... i assume down to heat... i am rebuilding the wiring loom where needed (a lot of it is solid it seems), but i have a...

hi i have reassembled my lift pump but i'm now concerned whether i've done it correctly.... i have serious vaccuum now in the tank and the fuel is getting sucked back in.... i wonder if i've fitted the non return valves in correctly. how many loose non return valves are there in addition to...

hi 1994 W124 OM606..... the car is dead. wont start at all - even on 100% diesel and lots of cranking. so two containers connected to the lift pump in/out ports directly - one full of diesel, the other empty. when the car is cranked, no fuel is pumped with the lift pump. can i assume this...

Saw this on the veg forum... 9wfNKrODkRE :thumb:

Hi folks, I was hoping someone has an better option than to take the rad out. Basically I just need to turn the engine over slowly to bring into view drain plugh on torque converter. With the plastic fan cowl loose I can get in to remove the viscous fan or get a socket on the crank -...

Hello, Diesel is leaking from somewhere from my cars IP, its a 98 W210 E300TD. Would any one know if this is a common fault and are there any checks I can perform to make sure where exactly is it leaking from? Any quick fixes like replacing some O rings or a reseal kit? Appreciate all...

i will be taking the manifold off this weekend. Which bolts (that i will be able to get to) should i treat with anti-seize the night before? I have 3in1 High performance penetrating spray and a can of plusgas. which one should i use to work its magic overnight? any tips for getting out...

Sort of asked this before...... What manual can i get for my 94 W124 E300d mulitvalve? I have been told the Haynes is ok for the shell but wont cover the OM606 engine. Is there a manual out there for the engine I have? Even if there is an online reference or CD manual that is fine. I have...

just got a diesel 24v W124 and very happy with it. It is completely different to the sporty jap cars i have previously owned but i am soon to start doing major mileage which is why i bought the W124 and plan to go veg. i have done some general research on veg cars and merc diesels as i...

Hi Does anyone know the original 0-60mph spec for the 1994-5 E300D Multi-valve. To my thinking if I have got the engine somewhere close to how it used to be I shouldn't be too far off the original spec. BTW on a flat duel carriageway out of a layby I timed it at 13 seconds on two seperate runs...

Hi I'm looking for the Torque Specs for the Injectors on the OM606 engine (non turbo) I have read that 40Nm does the trick but isn't there a torque on torque off sequence that must be followed to seat the heat plate/washer corectly. Got a compession leak on a couple so while I'm at it I'm...

Hi I had the top off the engine yesterday 'cos a diesel return flow pipe had come off. I noticed that when the engine was running there were bubbles blowing from deep down in the bottom of the reccess where the injectors screw into the head. I had just driven ca 100 miles so the engine was at...
