@@winstonjohnson2340 Yes there are two accumulators for the back. The main high pressure accumulator is mounted remotely on a hydraulic line above the rear right muffler, the smaller return pressure accumulator is mounted on the rear valve block in front of the rear left tire. Part number main high pressure accumulator 2203270115, return pressure accumulator 2203200415. The accumulators have nothing to do with ride height they hold pressure for when the pump can't keep up and smooth out pulsations form the pump and from shock from going over bumps. They are a wear item and should be replaced around every 800000 miles. Your problem is could be the rear valve block, strut travel position sensor ( inside the strut), or ride height sensor. Check the linkage going to the rear ride height sensors. Without Star Diagnostic computer you are trying to blindly fix the problem. If you can the first thing I recommend is to scan the car for codes. Other after market scan tools can do it too. I have another video on my channel replacing the accumulators It is called Mercedes ABC suspension rebuild. Hope this helps.

If it still does not run properly get a new carburetor. Some small engine carburetors I have rebuilt never run right they are too worn out/ have very small passages inside that have plugs pressed in and they cannot be cleaned.

One error - the way to check for a failed accumulator is not if the fluid level doesn't drop, it is if the fluid level drops below the lower mark when running (with the suspension at normal level). If it drops below the mark then at least one of the accumulators has lost gas and is filling with fluid.

This is a great video and I just subscribed to your page. I have an E350 with the same engine, I have a question regarding the injection pump. On the back of my pump at the torque bolt it seems like its been either broken off or it may be a spot for a sensor plug in. Could you give me some input on the torque screw and why it may be broken or was there a DB2 pump offered with a sensor in that same spot ? My 7.3 idi is not currently running and im wondering if that broken screw or missing sensor part is causing the pump to take in air and mess up the flow of fuel. Should i just get a new/reman pump ? Thanks
@7.3ididiesel36 Жыл бұрын
Thank you for subscribing. The torque screw itself is just a screw all it does is limit fuel at low rpm. At high rpm fuel is limited by an internal leaf spring. Turing the screw out will give more fuel. There are no sensors on the pump except if you have the E40D auto gearbox there will be a throttle position sensor on the side on the pump for the gearbox. If the screw has been turned/missing it will cause fueling problems. Also it might be getting air in the system if the screw is loose or missing this will also cause running problems. You could get a new screw and try adjusting it, might fix the problem. But if the pump has over 150k miles I would consider a new/rebuilt pump as it is starting to get worn out. Hope this helps.

Did you get all of the old fuel out? If it has been sitting for 8 years then the diesel will have degraded and it also could have water contamination there for it will not burn right causing smoke. If it runs ok and just smokes put fresh fuel in it with some good injector cleaner like Diesel Kleen and drive it some to see if the smoke goes away. If you replace just the injectors there is a chance that the old pump will be too weak pop the new injectors properly. @@daltonshaw3317

Great video. Got a question for you. The main pressure abc line (goes from pump/damper, above trans, back down to front block), on passenger side, is it supposed to rest in between wire harness and trans or between wire harness and exhaust? I assume trans side to be further from cat converter. Failed to make mental note this morning. Replacing main pressure line, and already replaced 2 lines going out of front block. Using a lift. I was able to get all pressure line bracket bolts out without raising the engine, on the a/c compressor one had just enough clearance. Wasted a bunch of time, forgot you need to seperate damper to get line out. Lots of up and down on lift. These cars require patience. Much respect for doing this on jackstands. I couldnt do this job at home, its freezing out in MASS. On the lines that cross over from front block, i had to cut near line ends on driver side, so i could use an impact gun and socket on the line end fittings, a wrench wasnt gonna cut it, threads were corroded.
@7.3ididiesel362 жыл бұрын
I'm sorry but I do not remember but I think the main abc pressure line should rest between the exhaust and wiring harness, with the wiring harness being closest to the transmission. These cars do require a lot of patience and can be very frustrating at times, they are super high maintenance. But when these cars are working properly they drive better almost than any other car making it worth it to keep fixing them. If you think Mercedes are hard to work on you should try working on Aston Martins, they are very hard to work on. I would know because I have one.

@@7.3ididiesel36 Update: finished job this morning. Wasnt terrible just time consuming. I tried to start installing main line from front block first, that was a big waste of time. If i did job again would probably take 1/4 the time or less. Ended up running pressure line on trans side of wiring harness, looked fine to me, figured to get as far away from cat as possible. It looked like it would be ok either way, i think the main pressure line and front block crossover lines are the ones that go bad most often due to close proximity to engine and cats. When it was leaking it squirted on my RF wheel, gotta check that out on my day off, might need new pads, probably a good idea to replace brake hoses soon too.
