Thank you for actually giving us information and not just selling a nozzle with a tester and then adding a PDF on how to do it.

135 bar pressure you mentioned is for turbo engines and 115 is for NA engines. Thanks for video, it is very detailed.

Thank you for one of the most informative and detailed videos I have seen in a while. You made me remember a lot of info I had forgotten !

Very informative, thank you for making this.

Very nice video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Such a great video! Thank you very much. You got yourself a new subscriber.

Very informative video. Great job sir. Thank you.

This video helped me alot.. Thanks from Sweden 😃

great video. Very helpful. Thanks!

Nice video. Very helpfull. Big thanks!

Thank you very much for this informative video!

Thank you so much Sir!!!! Amazing how you did with one hand!!!

excellent video. very informative

Excellent presentation .thank you

Thanks so much for this!!

Thanks ! Putting in monarch nozzles from mercedes source now! Great info !!

Proper diesel engine. Reminds me of my old Patrol 4.2 na.

great video if you do decide to rise the pop pressure then just advance the pump timing for best results......more power less smoke.

Thanks for the video. I have two injectors on my 603 that are leaking between the upper and lower injector holder housings. What’s the best way to stop that leak? There’s no seal between the two pieces. Thanks for your help.

Gooten tag Ralph. Can the injection timing be adjusted on these engines? The reason I ask is no one ever said anything to me about it when I had my Benz but the guy I bought parts from for the Peugeot turbodiesel I had before that was always telling me that I should do it on that car. He kept saying it was simple but sounded way to complicated to me. You mentioned upping the pressure which throws your timing off so if you could advance the timing to compensate that would eliminate the white smoke you mentioned. I guess the thicker shim in the injector makes the spring tighter so ups the pressure. Danke.

From India,you have greate personality,u r a blessed person, that's y u teach everything precisely in a nonselfish manner.

thanks for your share!!! very helpful! I need to do this to my om605.960 and the process i think that the process is the same

Thanks for video takes the worry away after seeing how it’s done! I’m stoked and ready to do this on my 603 124 wagon. You used acetone solvent to clean, about how long did you keep the injector parts in that before the crud started coming away? Thanks

sooo i have a question.. if i plan on changing my fuel injectors, and buy rebuilt remanufactured injector(s) can i just replace the heat shield and then slap on the new injectors? would i have to anyhting to the rebuilt/remanufactured injectors before installing?

Thank you buddy. Does my ponton have heat sheilds too?

Hi Ralph. I have the 1986 300sdl in the process of replacing the fuel injector nozzle and heat shield. I don't have a pop tester. My question is out of the 6 fuel injector nozzle you replace. How many of the injector did you have to put in different shims.

Hello, nice video I just wonder,where did you buy these shims?

What pop-off pressure did you set them at ? I have a 350SDL

Where is the best place to get pre chambers. One place wanted $1200 for prechambers on my 1987 300d. W124

Hi Ralf. I live a couple houses down from you. I picked up a 83 300D last November and have started working on it now that it's warmer. If you have time, could I have you look my car over and see what all's wrong with it? I want to know if it is worth putting money into. It's got two weak injectors (I think) and the transmission shifts super hard into 2nd but flares shifting into 3rd and 4th only when cold.

Hello, do you have any link to the pop tester you've used please ? Thanks

Hi. Very nice job and good that you have no smoke anymore. Anyway, the clicking noise is still there in the end of the video. Do you know why? Where from this clicking noise is coming? Thanks

very informative but I have one of these engines that I've been trying to get started for a while. I can't seem to get a proper engine timing instruction. been researching and this engine just won't start. if possible can you kindly help. I really want to get this engine running.

thanks for the video. Im have a old mercedes but I dont know about mechanic. Im interested in learn about it but my english is not so good. I think not to much videos about this topic. Could be very interested a subtitulated video where people could read (use traductor) the most important in the video. Thanks

Please help me how can find tools to open prchamber mercedess

Where do you get more sizes of shims? I ordered new ones from Pelican parts, but it's only one size. I want to have all my ducks in a row before I start on this. Google searches are no help

Where can I get kit of those shims? Thank you very much for your videos, you are awesome!!!

I dont know where I have to buy de washers. I dont know if they are specials and If go to the Mercedes or hardware store. thanks. Can someone tell me the meaning: " the diference between any two injections nozzies within one engine not exceed 5 bar positive" thanks. Second, my pression is 115 + 8, whats is meaning? I imagines the meaning is inyector can arribe 123 bars? thanks

surprised that you did not have any leaks when you put the injectors back together without lapping the mating surfaces of the pressurized parts. Those BOSCH injectors are notorious for leaking out of the housing when mating surfaces are not pristine. Even remanufactured injectors from Volkswagen leaked because the mating surfaces were not lapped. Currently use a precision granite block to lap from 600 grit to 2,000 grit upwards wet using calibration fluid the mating surfaces, and no leaks any more

i have OM617A it has injection nailing sound

I am pretty sure you got the air out of the system, before you filmed the start, it would of not just kicked over like that.. :D

I wonder how much a garage would have charged you for doing that: cleaning injectors and replacing the nozzles. And how much new injectors would have cost... I have a Hatz E75 on a dumper. It's an ancient monocylinder that had not been well maintained but can well. It starts with a rope around the pulley. Well I bought a new nozzle but left it open to the air in the workshop for over a year. It took on a film of rust-colour. Bathed in utrasound and have it some 3-in-1 oil. The pintle is a nice fit, comes out, goes in okay. Took it to a local garage in the village for a test and he said it needs replacing. I don't know if he is familiar with these old injectors and is more used to an almost horizontal spray rather than a conical one. I showed him a picture of the expected pattern but he still said I need a new one. Charged me nothing! I said I'd pay him in beer, and he laughed -- so a good guy. The diesel specialist in town had said a test would cost 30€, which is more than I paid for the new nozzle. I thought I'd clean up the old one and get him to test that but even after an ultrasound bath (25mins in water, vinegar, washing-up liquid at 60°) and lots of spray I can't get the the pintle (needle) out of the nozzle. It's well and truly stuck. Any ideas? (Sorry for such a long story!!)

Wow

Hi. Thank you for this very nice and clear video. I have a Mercedes W124 with the same engine and I recently changed the washers of the fuel pump delivery valves. This solved my leakage issue but it seems that this brought me a clicking noise that doesn't disappear after few months. So, I decided to check the internal leakage of my injectors by connecting each return line to a bottle (see example here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/naucppCS3b3HpWw.html). After few minutes of engine running the amount of gasoil collected was negligible (close to zero). Do you think that this is normal to get so low level of gasoil in the return lines? Could this low level of injector leakage mean that the injectors are good and that I don't need to perform a "pop test"? So in that case I don't understand where from my clicking noise is coming. Thank you very much. Armand
