My 240D was so slow, insects hit its rear window from behind, yet it is the only Mercedes-Benz that ever bought me a speeding ticket. #truestory

I had a w123 200d and a w126 560SEL. Guess which car earned me speeding tickets? It was not the V8... Ample power is so relaxing.

Yea, you could have just turned the engine to tdc and then taken the cam gear off and turned the cam to the mark.

Are we putting the crank shaft at 24 degrees before TDC. Do you mean when looking at the crank shaft pully we put it 24 degrees on the left of OT or 24 after OT. in context if we are rotating clock wise 24 degrees btdc means 24 degrees on the right hand side of OT

Hello Edward. Set the engine to 35° BTDC. Turn the injection pump to the nr.1 position when the notch is at about 11 o'clock position. Now insert the pump. Here I used 40° but 35° leaves more space to time it this way

[@joopsmit6910]

And yes on the right side of the marker is correct
