    Banging noise under the body at low speed.

    I just bought a '74 240D and after fixing few minor things with the fuel system, on our test drive, I noticed a banging noise under the body at low speed. Once you are doing more than 20 MPH you wont hear it anymore. I had a similar situation with my '81 300D when the drive shaft center...

    I think I have problems with my IP, help please!

    There was some debris at the bottom of that compartment and I sucked it all out, cleaned with Diesel Klean everything and filled again with Diesel Klean. Most probably it was plugged but now I don't know if it was that piece you say disintegrating or just dirt in the diesel, all I know is that...

    I think I have problems with my IP, help please!

    OK, first I want to thank again those that wrote some suggestions to help me out. It was this afternoon that I found what was the problem and was able to fix it. For many days, every time I had a chance after work, I tried many different things with the hope I was not going to be forced to buy a...

    I think I have problems with my IP, help please!

    I cannot get the engine of my E-350 to rev higher than 1000 RPM in neutral and even if I press the accelerator down to the floor the engine RPM do not go high. I thought it may be the lift pump but I have enough fuel pressure and I changed the fuel filter today. Any suggestions what else to...

    White smoke when in idle, it goes away when accelerator is pressed a little.

    I'm sorry. I don't understand the relation of what you call cold start and testing the glowplugs to the tires. Can you explain this, please?

    As soon as I take my foot off the pedal the white smoke returns. What do you understand as "leaking injectors"? Do you guys mean that they keep dripping diesel inside the chamber when it's not their turn to spray?

    White smoke when in idle, it goes away when accelerator is pressed a little.

    I'm going to start shopping for a new set of injectors. When I start the engine in the morning it starts right away, at the first revolutions, very fast and easy but in idle the engines shakes a lot when cold and after 3 or 4 minutes it gets steady and if you press a little the accelerator the...

    That injection pump and the glowplugs has about 70K miles. I need to study very carefully that business of tinkering with the timing because I don't have much experience in this matter nor the proper tools. I'll see what you say and study if I can try to do that. Thanks

    hmmm...timing. I need to find somebody around here that can check and adjust that. Thanks.
