diesel engine rebuild

Hi Yuri

How many miles has the vehicle covered??? Before stripping down. You need to get a few things checked first. Does it really need rebuilding. Is the oil consumption due the valve guides\seals worn out. Is the injection pump in good order etc.

Before parting with you hard earned cash. Get a cylinder leakage test carried out to acertain the state of the piston rings.

Regards

Andy @ www.mercedesservicing.com

PS. We can't be that far from you. Give a ring. Number on the url above.

Agrre with Andy.

Had similar problems on a merc 601-series diesel engine, but a valve job (seats and seals) was all that was needed.
