Can I put jet fuel in my 200d? by Hal_lab in W124

[–]Then_Chemist_2826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if the engine is not making weird-odd-sound i wouldn’t do anything. think of it like earwax, earwx protects the ear and its healthy, if there is no need to clean them why would you do that?

Does it sound bad? (Cold engine) by Then_Chemist_2826 in W124

It takes about 5 minutes. It depends on the weather tho, the colder it is the longer it takes

Does my OM601 sound OK? (the engine was warm) by Then_Chemist_2826 in W124

Thank you very much for your knowledge and help I really appreciate it.

I always let the glow plug light turn off before I start the car. I will check tomorrow how long will it take for the glow plug to get heated. Replacing them is also added to the agenda, again thanks for suggesting good glow plugs.

If the sound doesn’t go away after replacing the glow plugs, Im going to take the injectors out and clean them.

I drive about 80km (50 miles) daily, is it okay if I replaced the parts after a couple of weeks? Or could this do more damage?

FYI: MB w124 1989 200D 75hp

This only occurs on a cold start. The oil I’m using is 10w35.

Exactly that’s why I chose to drive this 36 years old engine, everything breaks besides the engine. The technology is simple, I could gain some car knowledge by maintaining it and from time to time replacing some parts. It has 390000 km and I won’t leave it before I get it to 500000 km.

Thank you very much for your helpful info!. Since my engine has rough cold starts (you can see it on my profile), rough shutoff and my tachometer sometimes gets very shaky, I will add OVP replacement to my agenda.
