Please help! E300 Diesel Fuel Leak!
Hello All,
I am the discouraged new owner of a 1995 E300 Diesel (606 engine) with 102K miles. I barely have had the car a week when it started leaking diesel fuel. The mechanic has to take off the intake manifold (6 hours book time for the whole job) to get at the injectors and something about 6 washers or seals or something where the leak is coming frome. They said that they called a Mercedes dealer and they don't sell the washers or seals, etc alone and that you would have to by a $1500 rebuilt fuel pump. That is hard to believe. The shop ordered some washers or seals (6) from a generic diesel place hoping they will work? Is their a Mercedes part number for these? Where can you buy them? I still don't fully understand this situation, but this particular leak appears to be common to the E300 and 606 engine. I sure hope this is one of the biggest and most common issues and that the 606 engine is relatively trouble free from here. I owned two other diesels '83 300td and '80 300sd in the past.
Thanks you,
Edward

Something is wrong here...
The seal for the injection pump (if that is what you need) is available separately. The injector seals should also be available separately. Stay on top of these people!
