Thank you for the video. I had three diesels from the seventies, andI loved them all. Your video brought back great memories. People complain that the cars are slow. I found with mine, that I was always able to keep up with traffic so it never seemed slow. On long drives, the cars were very stable, giving a solid ride that let me stay in control even in snow, and I never felt fatigue even after a twelve hour day of driving.
Awesome I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! The turbo diesels are not slow at all but those non turbos could use a little help :)
Very nice job i just bought 1977 240D one of the kind wold wide orange color watchig hubcabs town interior dark green and oreane under 32000 mils original mileage I'm very sou that you saw it about 3 weeks ago on IAA auction
That's great congratulations!
Congratulations on your videos. I have two W123's and it's always helpful to learn new things.
Greetings from Portugal
Awesome I'm so glad you're enjoying them!
since this one's a standard transmission you can adjust the valves by putting the car in gear and pushing on it.
I'm sorry but valves cannot be adjusted by pushing on the car. Valve adjustment is very specific tolerance between the rocker arm and the cam Lobe. Does tolerance can only be achieved with feeler gauges and adjustment using the proper wrenches.
Cars were simple and beautifull
Thank you I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. There are tons of videos on our website www.woodsandbarclay.com
John, I had to laugh watching you hold the camera with one hand and drive and shift with the other. I agree that a manual 240D is the only way to go. Lot of fun to drive!
:) I took the car out last night. It is a great 240D
That reminds me I have to do a valve adjustment on my Honda CR-V
Hahaha really? I can't tell if this is a joke.
@@woodsandbarclay yep I need to do it
I had no idea you had to do valve adjustments on a cr-v@@mds2465
@@woodsandbarclay yep every Honda requires them every so often
@@mds2465 I thought cars that needed valve adjustments stopped being made back in the 80s. What year is your?
You should have checked the cold start valve behind the steering wheel that's the idle control valve knob
There is no "cold start valve" on a 240D om616 diesel engine.
There was a black knob behind the steering wheel on all 240s I saw it on the one you were working on
The 240s are the only model that have it
@@jedklang that knob is to the left of the steering column and it's the idle adjustment.
@@jedklang the w116 300SD from 1978 and 79 also has it.
Did you tighten the valve cover to a specific torque or just make it 'snug'? Btw, great video! Very helpful!!
The valve cover is just snug snug equals around 10 to 15 ft lb. You definitely don't crank anything down you just snug it up real good and let the gasket do the job there's no strain or pressure on a valve cover.
I have a 1980 240d manual. Runs great. Will do 85mph or more. It will NOT start off in a steep driveway. I just can't imagine a taxi in the Swiss or German alps having to coast back to the bottom of a driveway and get a long run and go. Makes no sense. What the hell is wrong with my car? Is this normal? Shouldn't first gear creep off like a granny gear truck???
Yes first gear should be able to start the car on any incline. You probably have a weak and/or slipping clutch.
@@woodsandbarclay thanks for reply. About the clutch...it doesn't slip one but. It's more like the engine just won't pull it. I've done filters. Tank cleaning. Etc. surely there has to be an answer. Maybe valves need adjusted properly? Could it be low compression from valve compression loss? Thanks man
@@technicalitems731 a valve adjustment is not going to make your car not go up a hill. Definitely sounds like you have engine problems. Your engine could just be getting worn out
Where do you get MB return lines?
From the Mercedes dealership.
Cruise control on that car is not necessary. Haha
Hahahah agreed
👍
Thanks for the thumbs up
