Yes, a modern one starts even better. But DO NEVER DOUBLE OR TRIPLE GLOW! That kills glow plugs and - Dang! you are in trouble because next time the engine won't fire up in all cylinders and that will cause you hard and rough cold starts with lots of cranking, smoke etc. And when the weather is even colder, no start at all, only cranking til your battery dies. The 2nd car in this vid was a typical example. Very bad start at 2 or 3 cylinders. The owner was lucky it started at the end. Cold diesel engines need all cylinders (and glow plugs) for a smooth and safe start as well as a strong healthy battery.

Until the early 90's, Mercedes engineers stood above the accountants. As a result, no costs were spared in the designs.go to any middle eastern craphole, and you still see 60's era mercs happily chucking along with 3 million miles on the clock on the original engine. If you look at anything past the W124 /W140 etc era and you'll notice the drastic difference in quality.
My father had a turbocharged diesel sedan from the late 70’s/early 80’s and he ran it on an approx 4:1 ratio of used restaurant cooking oil-to-petroleum diesel fuel and he got over 700,000 miles out of it without ever touching the engine or manual transmission (other than changing oil). The only reason it was gotten rid of was because everything else started dying. They were like the Lexus of their day.
nostalgia bias. Ever tried to buy a brand new mercedes benz in that era? They cost three times more than they do today. Go ahead, imagine a standard diesel C class you buy for 120 000e today.
@DublinDutch - Of course the accountants don´t stand above the engineers and vice versa. However, if you build cars that you don´t earn anything on, then - as a company - you will seize to exist in the medium to long run.
i dont like the way u say all old cars are so much better.. no they didnt.. i got w204 and a w206 (brand new) never had problems with my w204.. besides problems that didnt cost me anything cus mercedes fixed it by themself... For the Price.. My w204 was 53k Euros back in 2011 and my w206 was 55k Euros at the end of 2021.. so they didnt really got up in price... If u pump them full with all shit.. yea u can pay easly 70k Euros.... But anyways.. I like to drive my cars a long time when i buy them.. doesnt matter if they are new or old.. but after almost 11 years i just wanted something new and i saved money for it.. so
I’ve watched a few of these, but I don’t know anything about diesel engines. I definitely noticed that starting them is different tho. Can you give me a quick run down por favor
@@BoatLoadOfSeaMen sure. First, If it’s a manual transmission you’ll need to put the vehicle in neutral and also press the clutch to the floor. From there you’ll want to glow the plugs probably two or three times in a row. Before you turn the key you’re going to press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there. Now mind you this is for extreme cold. You’re finally ready to turn the key to start. You’re going to hold the key in the start position with the pedal all the way on the floor and let it crank. With a gas engine as soon as there is the initial fire you would let go of the key. But that’s not the case with the diesels, you have to stay on the starter while the engine fires roughly. There does come a point where you can let off the starter after the engine appears to be moving past starter speed. That’s the nuance of a cold diesel start, knowing to stay on the starter, and when to release the key. The next piece is bringing the accelerator pedal off of the floor, if you do it too quickly the car will die. If you do not do it quickly enough in the engine will race. That’s the second nuance of getting a cold diesel to start. Good luck!!
I live near arctic sircle. I know what cold start sounds like during winter. Some starts of these sounded like Pre- heated. MB diesels are great anyway.
Mercedes is testing the vehicles in Scandinavia at temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees Celsius. So it's no wonder that these vehicles start and run even then.
@heinzketchup4558 LIAR. Ever seen a Ford or a early model cummins cold start? How about my Toyota diesel, took two weeks to start. Cummins came back with an intake heater, I have it on my 8.3. Starts better than any gasser ever. Good for a million miles, literally. The turbo on it is a tall as a 3 year old toddler. 35' all hard wood, basement, Spartan semi chassis, NO RENT, pacific Northwest, 3-dogs, no wife and a .45.
I want a 70's diesel Merc badly. The interiors are great and they were rather reliable. I don't care if parts will be expensive and hard to find, it'll be my one and only true luxury car. I'm moving towards older vehicles, anyways. Hell, maybe it's even good on fuel as diesels new and old tend to be (I've read of people getting ~25 mpg out of them, which is really good for any car of that age), then I could sell my 2009 Camry to some kid who needs a first car for a good price so he or she can get on the road and get some driving experience.
I've done so many cold starts that I can really relate to these videos, especially the satisfaction of getting it to start and then wait 10 minutes to get the temp above 0C :D
Fantastic car no ECU built like a tank good on fuel 100% reliable looked after serviced regular would do a million miles i had two over the years 123 series
ECU is shit ...... for /8 Diesel your electrical measurement equipment is a 12 V light bulb with soldered leads. You can conect the glowplugs parallel instaed serial or even start in deep cold with 2 batteries in series. Unfortunately, they rusted quickly even though they were thick sheet metal. A lot of salt has been spread where I live. everything mechanical..... once the diesel was running, you couldn't stop it with an electromagnetic autostop system, even if the alternator burned out.
Came here to see if a starter is supposed to turn rapidly even in extreme cold, now i'm looking at that dasboard like it's the most beautiful thing in the automotive world.
My sisters dad had atleast two of those old benzes (the first car in this vid) Watching that interior, those + vents, the wood, the doors. Brings back old memories.

3:39 Bravissimo, great way to compare the individual types of Mercedes Benz diesel vehicles in terms of their starting behavior at sub-zero temperatures. At / until minute 3:38 you can see an oil pressure gauge in the cockpit. This shows the oil pressure build-up during the starting process and when the engine is running.

Would know if some of this cars had a block heater ? In Canada, we can install a little electric element 120volts directly in the block in the refrigerant.

Я в 90 годы пригнал из германии старенький пассат Б2 уже с уставшим мотором дизельным масло кушал хорошо! Но когда зимой в -22 он без особых проблем запустился меня это шокировало!!!
You shouldn't have to cycle the ignition switch on and off before you start the engine, if the engine is healthy and with good glow plugs and a strong battery it should start the very first time.
Mine needed a boost in -5c yesterday after a 4 day sitting. Perhaps its the 11 year old battery and too many short trips in the last three years. Since my 300 mile trip afterwards it seems ok. That means its going to drop dead without warning soon. If it dies on the road I don't have to pay installation but it might take some hours. I have a booster so it would still be cheating. I'm curious how long it will hold on.
Hi Mark, give your Merc some well deserved LTC, buy it a new battery and save yourself a lot of grief! NO battery lasts 11 years and the trouble is that when they do go, it tends to be without warning .
My E220CDi W211 from 2002 starts like its nothing on -11C, it runs cluncky for first 5 sec (probably until warm fuel comes to the filter) but then it runs like its 20c outside. So i guess they all have bad glow plugs (just how the one in 4:00 starts)
The old ones had less sophisticated technologies and could be trickier even when the glow plugs were working perfectly. I am stunned that the 1976 model proved as easy to start as it is. I have seen somewhat newer ones give more difficulty.
Our W201 with the same engine starts at -25°C just like yours at minute 07:55ff. W201 especially the diesels are really fine cars. They are great and slow cars at the same time! And they ar’nt be picky with the fuel quality. With enough oil and water for the engine, they will always run, even with bad diesel fuel because they’re awesome! I do realy like them!
I've driven diesel vehicles for 23 years, Anytime you walk outside to your diesel vehicle and the snow is squeaking under your feet and it's all iced over the first thing that should automatically come out of your mouth is oh no. 😂
When I was a kid my dad owned a 240D in the Soviet Union which he bought brand new but it would not start winters. Every am I had to go and defrost the diesel for him to come and start the thing. My god I loved the car so much but I hated doing that very early am at minus 30 cold.
Diesel engine sound in the freezing, snowy winter gives me really nice, safe, calm and hot vibe.
Nothing beat a good old diesel cold start 🔥
Only good petrol engine. Sorry, standard petrol engine is enough.

That is the entire process! It does take that skill.
Glow plugs will keep on for 30 seconds after light go off. You don't have to turn key again and again.
It really is infuriating to watch them especially the ones that are common-rail. They have quick heating glow plugs so 1-2 seconds is all you need.
the most common stupidty. They even call them cycles:)))))

So does virtually every other car manufacturer
With diesels it's more about the fuel not freezing anyway.
They should use "Winterdiesel" for a better start.

There's no need for an automatic car.
The tick marks on the speedometer are the maximum speed shift points
