SOLVED**350SL cold start problems

Hi Alessandro,

it is clear that your injectors are clogged and you should get them cleaned. But that should affect your engine run more when your enigne is warm than cold.

Sealings A1160780073 are available at Daimler for 1,80€ .

Hello Volker
The sealing A1160780073 have been already replaced.
The problem is that my injector requires the sleeve A1160780083 and the seal A1160780773 ( these one are still available ) otherwise it will be impossible to keep them in position.
I've understand that there are 2 different injector style, one that has a sealing item A1160780473 and another one that needs a plastic sleeve A1160780083 plus the green seal A1160780773
My injectors are the type that needs the plastic sleeve but it seems to be unavailable.
Do you've any suggestion to replace it ?

Best regards

Alessandro

Hi Alessandro,
the sleeves are called `pintle caps`. No problem to buy them.

Norbert

Hi Alessandro,

bot A1160780073 and A1160780773 are available. Not too sure why you would need both.

Hello Volker

Enclosed you’ll find some pictures of the parts I need
The left one ( brown color but it should be white when new ) is the item A1160780083 that isn’t available from Daimler
Do you know if it is possible to source it or replace with something else ?
Regards

Alessandro
