    The problem with this engine and mercedes sprinter is the stretch bolt as you mentioned. The failure for sure is the m6 stretch bolt. I helicoil them and install a larger bolt. Ran a sprinter for 8 years+ without this issue. It's not the copper washer failing its the bolt that stretches and starts to leak at the seal.

      @mbz4652 if I remember it was a 9mm Allen key. And I used the helicoil tool to thread it into the hole then removed the tool. Remember you have to make when that bolt bolt bottoms out do not turn it anymore otherwise it will rip the helicoil out. I found the best method is to measure using washers. For example before the bolt bottoms out add 2 washers between your injector clamp and bolt. I got black bolts from James listers.

    There are a few tricks to making these better than mercs half-assed factory solution. Dont use the factory merc washers, or the shitty aftermarket ones, they are generally crap. They are basically flat in cross-section, and too hard, which is a poor design, from a crush/sealing perspective. Think of an oring. Some people use a honda diesel injector washer, these are definitely better, have more of an elliptical cross section and are softer and slightly thicker if you have to recut the seat. I actually lathed myself up a small press tool, annealed a set of new factory washers, then formed them into a shape which has point contact on the upper and lower faces of the washer. I then re annealed them after forming to make them soft so the newly formed peaks would crush on installation. I then installed, and went by the updated merc spec of 7nm plus 2x90deg. No leaks in 50000km, still clean as a whistle. One of my bolts also had a dodgy repair like your number 6, tapped into rocker cover. I reinstalled that as the old stretch bolt still stuck in head. No issues at all on my 350km om612. Your method needs a little fine tuning dpuk, and i would suggest you look at making better washers, that is the opportunity. Im a mechanical engineer btw, so seal design is something i care about.

    I am one of the hard user of 2 stroke oil in a BMW 3 series M47 engine with 500k km at current day.
    Never ever missed a single start in UK weather! I am using it religiously, 250ml/50 liters of diesel!
    Results or effects?
    Read bellow:
    Clean intake manifold, original - cleaned once at 150k miles with 3-4mm deposits inside. And since use of 2 stroke oil, never again - and I dismatled 3-4 time since.. original swrill flaps (better version than E46..); original EGR, Original high pressure fuel pump; no sensors changed around the engine ever; never ever any errors on the exhaust.. or about the exhaust...
    INJECTORS? 🙂 Bosch solenoid injectors they lasted until almost 490k km (almost 300k mile) ONLY because of excessive return flow on two injectors (no lie..) ..when I took them out (after the return flow test done..)..no blockage what so ever at the tips(nozzles) of the injectors.. spraying area.. I verify them (2 injectors), being curios with brake cleaner - all clear, no deposits on the nozzle what so ever, AT ALMOST HALF MILLION KM! Just mild carbon around those holes, nothing to interfere.
    ..Took these 2 faulty injectors to a reputable BOSCH representative company in UK, Bench tested prior rebuild (...or my decision to rebuild, using their service or not..) and they found absolutely NOTHING in relation with what I measured and find myself.. into... (loud BANG while driving in one morning, like a pre-detonation, but the engine did not stopped..) so got concerned to do checks with the hand tester at the moment, then with ISTA later in the day..
    No, they did not find anything with the reference or reasons I took the injectors to them. They even insisted that they won't warranty if they will rebuild my injectors, that this will eliminate the cause.
    Anyway, I rebuild them using their services, to factory specs, with warranty of the rebuild for 2 years.
    So. I am using and continue using 2 STROKE OIL until the end of time of diesel engines! There is no BUT for me. That is the additive for all diesel engine that will be under my maintenance!
    At the moment 2 vehicles , non-DPF takes 2 stroke oil JASO FB and DPF EURO 6 takes with the same regularity 250ml/50 liters of diesel JASO FB. The Euro 6 one is condemned to drive short distance (7-8 miles) every day! In 3 years never ever had DPF clogged up! The magic sits in this 2 stroke oil, even if you do not believe me, I do not care. I just wanna let the world know that the "placebo" effect of 2 stroke oil IS MAKING MAGIC actually.
    How much will you use a year? 5 liters for 15k mile per year. Is it much? You must be joking.. Remember what I said above, no sensors replaced on the engine in 11 years of ownership, the engine is as clean as it can be. It take 5W40 Shell pure plus, chagned every 14-15k miles...
    What more can I add? Joy for me, and I really want to share this with the world; do not give up on diesel.
    A, I forgot, every MOT has been passed without A problem, in terms of pollution factor.. bla bla bla.. at almost 500k km! Well, we all have to change air filter every year isn't it? Then all will be good.
    Well after so long time of use of this magic formula even the exhaust fumes smells slightly different.. but that is not a cause of concern..

      Interesting post. I think what you've done is add lubricant to modern diesel fuel, which is what is missing in all modern bio diesel fuel. The E5 content and bio compatibility has caused no end of problems in older Diesels, boats, machinery ect, al due to lack of lubrication in modern diesel fuels. Effectively its corroding and infecting fuel lines and rotary and inline pumps. Adding any oil, not just two stroke type, to a tank of diesel for older engines is a no bad thing, as you have stated. 👍💯✔

      What length of bolts do you use in M10?
      And how deep do you have to go to be in the cylinder head instead of the valve cover?
      And then there is another thing the original bolts have a little rounded edge underneath the bolt head.
      When you use a boat with a flat head then it might touch only apart of the surface of the fork that holds the injector down, isn’t that a problem?
      Thanks in advance I’m curious

    I've seen Sprinters with the 'Black Death' on a massive scale.
    This van was run, unserviced, for over 200,000 miles with only oil top ups, no new oil filters etc.
    However, it started giving issues and a very good friend of mine was given the job of 'repair'🥴
    Exit complete cylinder head as it was so carboned up beneath the plastic shroud, there was no space at all.
    He could've went through a thorough clean up but he had a spare, good head, to replace it.
    The cover ought to be removed on a 10,000 mls interval to check for leaks.

    I had a 320CDi in a 2001 W210 that had the same hold down arrangement for the injectors. I had two injector holding down bolts fail, as stretch bolts they cannot be tightened when they come loose but tightening them is the temptation (by others). The results from a loose injector blow-by was exceedingly messy on each occasion the clean-up took hours. I replaced the first sheared bolt with a new one (I still have the other 5 and grease) torqued to spec but the second one was sheared off below the head surface so I had to drill it out by hand. For safety, I overbored the hole to accept a M8 helicoil and Grade 12.9 cap head bolt torqued to 20ftlbs - no stretch. The holding down fork is hardened steel so I had to use a carbide drill to get clearance. It was reliable thereafter but I vowed to replace all the other M6 holding down bolts with the M8 cap head bolts and helicoils if one broke again, it is such a crappy design! Fortunately, I scrapped the W210 in 2009 due to persistent fueling failures and overall woefully poor quality especially when compared to my W124, which I still have. The W124 was built by engineers, the W210 by accountants.

  • @rogerhobday8369
    @rogerhobday8369 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi Luke, I am only 6.5 minutes into the video but I have an answer for your errosion/corrosion issue. Diesel fuel contains sulfer naturally in variring degrees depending on where it is sourced and while sulfer has been found to be a fantastic high pressure lubricant for the fuel injection components it is a problem as a pollutant and as a corrosive product in combination especially when the components are not hot enough, eg 165 F or above. Fuel companies have tried to eliminate sulfer completely from the fuel but the damage caused to the fuel system is remarkable. Hence some sulfer remain in the fuel.
    Why the injector is more damaged than the injector bore may have something to do with the head being kept hot via the thermostat and the injector being cooler because of the flow of fuel. Large diesel engines are brought up to 165 +F as quickly and as evenly as possible to prevent sulferic corrosion in the fire ring area of the cylinder. When this does occur it seems to affect the ferrous material of the components much more than the aluminium alloys, GKW, (God knows why).

    We have just sent our W211 OM648 to the scrap yard. A previous mechanic had butchered the head by taking random amounts of metal from each injector seat, some far more than others. When removing the injectors (for a hard misfire) its apparent that all the seats are cracked from the head side, and all the injectors sit at different heights when re-installed. Not worth the time to sort now :(

    The head is cooled, the injector is notso much.

To offer a slight bit more clamping force. Maybe drill the bolt hole out to M8 and use a stud, possibly M10 and make a new retainer!

    Love your videos, incredibly well done and very informative! You did an M57 vs OM606 video. Do you have plans to do an OM606 vs OM648 video? Would be VERY interested to see that if it were ever to be made!!!

    The best thing to find leaks like that even when its dirty and noisy is 4 feet of hose pipe one end in your ear and just poke with other end and even better you can poke under then silly rubber covers

    You had a very fine carbon deposit on that thing there , and it started to glow. At a high temperature. There was no need for a chemical reaction beyond.

    Had an issue similar to this on my 1.5 DCI clio - same with the pulled threads. Apparently renault cylinder heads are made of chewing gum. All drilled and tapped to m10 from m8 using some capheads with spherical washers seems to working a treat.

      It's tiny aluminium shavings. No big deal inside the cylinder, but most of it won't fall in. What I would do different however is run the reamer by finger tips. It doesn't take much at all for most injector seats

    When the injector compression washer goes there is slight up and down movement with the injector..together with carbon it acts like sandpaper...and the rest is what you have at number 2 injector.....

  • @jadesluv
    @jadesluv 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Your torque spec for the hold down bolt is incorrect. I put a dot of fingernail polish on the bolthead so I could see my 90°.It should be 7 Newton meters +90+90 that’s 180°, but don’t take my word for it check the WIS.

  • @adambordas5024
    @adambordas5024 ปีที่แล้ว

    I really like this video. Very informative. Now I'm struggling with my OM648. There was visible blow-by and carbon at injectors 2 and 3. These came out relatively easy. I also replaced the sealing ring at #1. However injectors 4-6 are really stuck without any blow-by. Possibly they need some slide hammering.
    For the torque I found this in the factory manual "AR07.16-P-1000T": 7NM + 90deg + 90deg. However after the first 90 degrees It was very difficult to tighten so I haven't done the second 90 deg. I think something would have broken before the second 90. I'm confused. 🤔

    Had a problem with injector's on my sprinter van , could not get the injectors out .
    Mercedes in Spain gave me an estimate for €4,000.00 because they could not get the injectors out.
    My mechanic said mate bring the van to my garage he poured coca cola where the injectors are and left it for 72 hrs guess what he cranked them open first and cleaned all the coca cola first done the job
    Refurbished injectors all done for less than €1500.00

  • @seancollins9745
    @seancollins9745 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have used MAP gas torches to heat the injector and burnout the carbon on more than one occasion, obviously you have to remove everything from the injector and surrounding area and take precuations with fuel sources first.

My question is?.. what are the two fat red wires represent that plug into the injector?. So I can know if I have a Pulse being sent!. I don't want to just start poking around without knowing, and blow the ECU or something?.

    condition of injector ie heat build up may be the injector is working but there is a fuel blockage hence its not cooling with cold fuel flowing so the friction plus heat from ignition would heat up the injector to discolor the tip

    Injector body heat first because of water and then damage melt seal . Common rail injector are very sensible to water. At school they told us common rail system is very performing but water really damage them . We have water Filter protection that need to be purge or its really bad . If iam not wrong I beleive no car having filter protection .

    I may be incorrect, but if I remember the diesel on your side of the pond has more sulfer, during combustion with extra oxygen above the afr, the ECU calls for may be inducing mode o2 causing slight sulfer co oxygen mix that is a pain in the butt

      @@TonytheCarEnthusiast nah come on, the bolts are designed for that. You'd strip the M6 thread in the head before a new bolt snaps. I read someone's suggestion of using a 24" breaker bar to do 90 + 90 so that you don't feel bad when it resists, and that works very well.

    They make a puller slap fork tool for under the injector. Why not change the valve cover gasket. Its a known issue heat gets it too close to exhaust heat and leaks oil. This is my next job. Hope I don't need a seat reamer
