ArdWrknTrk Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Jim, I was lucky we never had one of the early 600s come in at Tysinger. We did have one customer with a 300SEL 6.3, complete with dual alternators and the mechanical Bosch gasoline injection. The real live one though was the 450SEL 6.9, it had hydrauilc suspension used under license from Citroen just like Rolls-Royce. Someone put the wrong fluid in it and ruined all 5 of the accumulators (4 are for the "springs" and one is just a master accumulator). Thankfully it didn't damage the suspension struts, that would have been even worse. Yes, the 6.3 & 6.9 have a single cold start enrichment injector, that if it gets stuck...... All in all I really liked the Bosch fully mechanical injection systems. Did your customer have the flag brackets on the front bumper? (diplomatic model) So the Penofin hydraulic system was contaminated with glycol fluid? That's a right PITA to flush clean. Surprised that seals and diaphragms were available!
