Thank you for a real, genuine, not edited, Mercedes diesel cold start. Your honest presentation of what it's really like is refreshing

I appreciate your kind words! Unfortunately (or rather fortunately for me), after I replaced the glow plugs, it starts in a single crank down to 5 degrees Fahrenheit.

the Manuel says to hold the throttle down while cranking, it works, starts much quicker

Alda delete is definitely not necessary but won’t be terribly harmful to anything except mileage. If you want cupholders or other custom stuff, check out my ebay page at www.ebay.com/usr/classicautoreimagined

Old benzes don't need block heaters. The reason why this cold start took so long was because only 2 of 5 glow plugs worked and I didn't assist at all with the throttle. I have since replaced the glow plugs with bosch OEM and it starts perfectly. Thank you.

I would drive places and park for hours and when I got back to my car it would crank for 5-10 seconds lol. Runs like a top though once you get it going and doesn't leak or burn oil. I love the om617 haha.

@@spyvsspy_Nope, mine was never slow. If yours is slow and it has a turbo 5cyl, get valves adjusted, pump set back to factory spec and injectors cleaned with diesel purge or replaced. They are obviously not rocketships but mine does get up and boogie a little bit- plenty to keep up with even 80mph highway traffic. Highly recommend joining the facebook group (Mercedes w123 North America) and the less popular reddit group r/w123. Share a “just bought” post on FB when you get it, i’ll try to comment!. I am from southeastern Pennsylvania. Drop by if you’re close and need anything. Also- shameless plug: I custom design and 3d print a good few parts for these old cars.

Like I said 10 or maybe 20 times, I did not want to get snow in the cabin and only 2 or 3 glow plugs were working at this point. I don’t know if you noticed over your extreme ignorance, but there was about 8 inches of snow on the ground, which makes it VERY hard to get the car serviced! Please take your negativity elsewhere.
