Adventures with cars and travelling on the road
Nissan Qashqai Oil service and Starter rebuild
A friend asked me to give her car car an oil service and find the funny noises. I ended up rebuilding the starter which had no lubrication left in it and was dragging. That caused over time a battery cell to go dead, the battery was replaced the next day after not surviving the cold night on the farm. V-belt was also replaced, but I swore to much and left that out of the video...

You’re the man, just got one that’s been sitting for 5+ years and I love your videos on what to do
Kya kya milaye ho isme
Nice Mercedes
How many liters of oil did you fill
4.5L on my count.
Sound of durability, Amazing engines. The sound from these remarkable engines is like a music to my ears.
Sounds of longevity.Its like a music to my ears. Love it.
Rare yelow head light france market
Very soothing and reassuring sound of great and reliable engines,that belong to special cars.
Very hard work done 👍
I think that blue one is the best motor case
Thanks
Mine runs like new and it has over 300,000 miles on it. Bought the car for 1,500 USD and drove it 5,400 miles (across the US and back)
Brilliant video! I am just about to clean tank on my 1983 300D 4-speed. Thanks for insformative video! 😃👍
Video has 123 likes, i have no heart to break that number. So here you go, have it in here instead! 👍Love the video! ❤
Gosh, just gotta love that instant clatter of IDI mercedes diesel engine!
This sound...😍
👍
Nice information.
do you know where we can find equivilent capacitors?
Any electronics store should stock them or you might even find it on ebay depending on your country.
@@joopsmit6910also to mention that im doing the exact procedure here to test the relay and its pulling that little spring bridge after a couple seconds, and when it lets go giving that clicking noise i go ahead press down on that spring bridge to give it another cycle for a split second and i can feel the heat on the relay yet the glow plug light isn't coming on.. to make things simple would that be the relay or just a faulty glow plug light?
It needs some TLC, it seems very tired. Nice car though!
In England, its called the "w@nk-omatic" pump 😂
Nice tip for you, try to store slide the tank cap in the door hinge with the rubber seal towards the door. Its a genius design
These cans used to come with filler necks...
Cool
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.
THANX ! I made the drip pipe and want to try this . -Nate
Where is your location?
are the torx bolts a reverse thread
Where are you location are you here to Washington Seattle
Hello George, sadly not. Pretoria in South Africa. But wishing to join you guys there in the near future!
@@joopsmit6910Kyk of jy Piet Steyn Jnr by Golden Rule Motors in Stikland op die foon kan kry.
Yea, you could have just turned the engine to tdc and then taken the cam gear off and turned the cam to the mark.
W123/OM616. Prime example of a quality simple longest lasting efficient car. Neither Japanese or the Americans could build something like that.
How many miles did this car have?
I am about to buy a landcruser fitted with an om 617 non turbo ,how reliable is this engine ,i drive thru a lot of sand to reach my farm
👍
4:12 My favorite video :))
W123 200DD Sound Compilation ??
Amazing work my friend, I am trying to find a 240 or 300 Mercedes diesel as a project wish me luck 😃
Most imformative video on timing pump with engine on the internet
Best diesel Engine made.
Agreed Anthony! With all their nicks and leaks...they remain my favourite.
que significa la luz de alerta el simbolo es un carro con uma flecha encima indicado adelante y atras al mismo tiempo de color amarillo
Are 2.6 OM616 Diesel engines good as well?
OM616 is the 2.4L and still my favourite engine. They are great engines, reliable and very fuel efficient. The OM617 is the 5 cylinder 3.0L which I also have but it is more tricky to work on and far less fuel efficient than the 240D
@@joopsmit6910 that’s right, there is a company called Force Motors in India which manufactures the 2.6 OM616 engine (2596 cc) under the license of Daimler Benz. They use it for their buses and other passenger cars. I thought it was the same engine with a bumped up displacement.
@@dowlat454 oh wow I did not know that, that is great. I can only imagine what a nice engine it must be. Seems like Benz granted licenses for manufacture in a few countries. In South Africa they were called ADE engines for trucks, but the cars remained German manufactured and assembled here.
@@dowlat454 It's not an OM616. It is a newer engine, BASED on the OM616 design. It is more powerful than the 616, so there's that. Don't know about reliability, although the 616 design goes back much farther than the advent of the 2.4, so from a design standpoint, it should last a while.
All you need to do is remover fan and shroud You’ve made an easy job hard
Very nice, an engine I have only just become interested in one, and one I never knew had such an amazing reputation.
Probably the most reliable engines ever designed and will run Biodiesel and well made Blackdiesel too. 240D engines are right up there too and more fuel efficient.
Google job
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
And yes on the right side of the marker is correct
We leave diesel sitting for months in our tractors, semi's, combines, etc. It doesn't turn black.
Hi Nathan. Nice! Yup here in Africa you won't believe the stuff that grow in the tanks. This car's tank will get a good internal powerwash and disinfect with alcohol to kill all that anearobic algea in there. It's really gotten out of hand in there.
Bro was probably putting all his weight into that. That poor hole saw bit 😂
Yup! It had a "use for this project only" hole saw and a willing Bosch brushless cordless drill behind it.
That dieselmeken one pings really bad!
That’s the cleanest om617a engine bay that I’ve ever seen. The turbodiesel version is great, but it’s a diesel so they tend to be dirty engines
I’m looking to buy 77 240D for daily driver.. do you think this will be good buy? I found one for 2000
Hello Jay. YES! I have a '80 240D as a daily and when the engine is looked after they run reliably, cheap, albeit slow. The last one in the video is mine. Easy to work on, if you are in the USA parts are easy to find and tonnes of advice. They will run on BioDiesel, Black diesel (if you get the mix right) and Diesel/WVO mixes too.
@@joopsmit6910 thankyou! I will consider getting it! I think it should be decent for city cruiser doing low speed
