  • I get a lot of calls from guys battling with their w123 diesel not shutting off when the key is turned. In this video I explain the system, possible causes of the problem and offer some solutions

    Excellent explanation and overveiw to a common problem. Thanks. In my case I used a normally open electrical solenoid that energises when you turn the ignition on to remove vacuum to the shuttle. It Would be wonderful if someone or yourself can invent a method to repair the individual components as they are getting very difficult to source now. Keep up the videos

      The only car in the world that doesn't want to stop: as long as you have fuel oil, air and compression it will run! :))))

    You could just use an electric solenoid to replace the vacuum shut-off valve. Depending on what type of solenoid you have, you'd have to connect one terminal to line 15 and the other to ground. Line 15, IIRC, is live in the START and ON positions.

      You could indeed but that adds complexity that isn't required of course. On my own diesels I prefer as little dependence on electricity as possible and could effectively start and drive one of them without a battery if I have someone to tow start me. Thats the biggest appeal of them for me, simplicity.

    Only accurate to specialized for me but I know when somebody presents a solid presentation too bad I am not smart enough to follow but I love these cars
    I'm hoping to find one

    What is this part called ? I’m having to manually close it it stays open I’m guessing

    Mine won't turn off when cold but if you give the throttle a rev it then turns off. Been like this for ages but now when cold I also get the hard brake. Should I try replacing the new shut off valve which I have first or does it sound like the pump diaphragm? Many thanks

    • @oldmercguy
      @oldmercguy  Před 6 měsíci

      By virtue of the brake being hard, the pump diaphragm is the most likely suspect.

    i am currently suffering such an issue, there is some oil in the vacuum lines and the engine won't shut off. i already replaced the membrane and seals. but the problem is still there. i think i will replace the shutoff valve next hoping that will be the main problem

    • @oldmercguy
      @oldmercguy  Před 2 lety +1

      How do your brakes feel? The oil in the vacuum pipe could also be brake fluid if your booster is on the way out.

    • @MarcS4R
      @MarcS4R Před 2 lety +1

      @@oldmercguy they feel good, vacuum valve has been replaced like I said. I removed the oil from the lines and now the engine shuts off again. My theory is that there was still some oil in the brake booster from the broken vacuum valve before. (I drove about 50 km with the broken pump). Now i am trying to find the vacuum leak in the door locks :)
