I think that life of a diesel engine is very very long because it don't need any kind of spark plugs likewise petrol which die when not used for long time or kept preserved. I am also planning to buy a diesel car; respect the structural strength of a diesel engine and well engineered design. Current day diesel engines shall last infinitely, thanks to non rusting coating, parts and materials used to make one. If you can prevent engine or tranny from rusting, you diesel car will live forever
thats badass thats almost 900k miles!!! diesel engines will run forever!!!! I was in a semi while working for mclanes company delievering grocerys to walmart and seen 1m miles before!!
engine is now death :( next time first release oil !!!!!!!! pour new oil and new filter, the middle mark on the gauge remove injectors and exchanges diesel filter
then infuse the kerosine in to each cylinder cca 0,5dcl the next day, rotate the engine by hand then repeat procedure with kerosene next day Start the engine without injections then insert the injectors and all get involved, bring a new diesel and startremember to change the fuel, Diesel vs kerosene around 70:1,
This is a supercar it must really like you for starting up! Threat it with car give it some new dieselfuel and fluids. And drive it for 60miles or so, Me and the car will be very grathefull (<-- how do you spell that word?) if you do that
@Little john enterprize A diesel engine a last forever compared to a gas, and no matter how old they get they sound better then any junked up gas engine.
@BmxDieseldude I dissagree, I think the 617 is better than the newer 6 cylinder 603, because the 603 has an aluminium head that are known for cracking (specially on turbo models), they often get leaks around the prechambers, valvelifters go bad, bad belt tighteners etc. The 603 is a great engine compared to other engines, but I just think the 617 is better, although it's older and less modern
it shows what we can do as humans and build amazing engines like that. Prob the best diesel engine overall ive been behind the wheel of and the strongest. I dont miss the car as such but i miss that unit
@TheMercedes300d It was a 1987. Piston rings were bad, so it used oil, smoked bad and was hard to start in cold weather. The engine was never opened, so I don't know if more was wrong.
Sounds like you're loosing compression on one cylinder through a glow plug or injector or something. Plus without the key on the engine will only idle at 500 rpm. the computer is what holds the idle at 630. That it stalled after you revved it up is rather normal... with so many miles on the injection pump the fuel rack is worn a bit, which makes the governor slow to react and "catch" before the motor stalls.
den här såg faktiskt fin ut! min farfar har en 230E -88 som stog i 3 år men den var grönfläckig av alla alger.. men starta gjorde den och gick bra också! har videor även på den! :)
@simcaP60fan What volvo 740 has 150hp stock? That depends on what engine it has! the B230A has 112hp, the B230K has 117Hp, 230F has 116, 230E has 136 etc. The turbo models has more, like B230FT has 165hp.
@kiarra00 Ahh ok, mine got alot of rust to.. bought it overpriced.. but its hope! It's not worth a full bodypaint at a paintshop, so im gonna paint it myself MATT BLACK, Mercedes Stealth! :P Gonna post another vid of it when its finished.. now i just got a little start up plus idle vid.. :)
@CVRealMan It's not smoking that bad, but it smokes all the time, it uses a lot of oil and it's very hard to start in the winters, it's probably worn piston rings, but it's a very good runner considering the milage that's for sure!
GEEZ!!!!; 1,4 million kilometers!!!!! now thats A LOT!!! of driving!!! and for that thing to even start at all is amazing let alone having possibly one bad cylinder!!! thats amazing for sitting 7 years!!!! cool deal!!! :)
wow. started great. was that blow by or and exaust leak when i saw some smoke comming from the drivers side of the engine? very dependable cars. sounded like a dead cylinder, but u cant blame it for having that many k on it. 5 stars!
@racindeere65 the exhaust was a leak. You're right about the dead cylinder, I think it was a valve not keeping up and closing properly, it stalled when I reved it up, and it had that sound, but it ran better after some time
@redneckbryon yeah, I didn't belive it either, I thougt it had to crank some to get diesel to the pump, but the diesel was probably still in the lines, even after 7 years. Amazing!
