Description

1987 Mercedes-Benz 300TD Wagon

Bought the car from previous owner as he ruined the starter trying to excessively crank it. Determined the long crank sessions were from leaky orings ad copper washers at the connector atop the injection pump. I changed all 6 out and now starts right up. In any case, I bought the car as a project but have since lost interest. Please see video of it at bottom of page.

All in all, the car did sit for about 7 months. The guy told me that it was a daily driver before that. Before anyone asks me if they could drive it away out of state, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Thanks for looking and feel free to ask any questions or clarifications.
