A diesel engine can take a lot of abuse but when you add more boost and more fuel things can heat up quickly. In this video, I show you one cheap modification that every turbo diesel car or truck should have. This could warn you of a potential issue so you don’t blow your diesel engine up or start melting pistons and valves.

What's the most powerful but highest MPG car/truck you've ever owned? This is going to be mine.
I would of used hi nickel arc rod to do the job. I once cut down a 30td manifold to fit a 240 and the weld on that German cast worked beautifully!
1983 300TDsedan on flat hiway 42 mpg.
1000 Fahrenheit is like part throttle. You can run up to 1600-1700 Fahrenheit full throttle.
Just make sure that you leave temp limiters in, so the car pulls fueling when you hit the limiter.
Hmmm….welding normal steel like st-37 or stainles on to cast iron..🤔 if that stick's over a time, I'd would like to know what type of gas and thread you used.
By the way, the reason you burn throug aluminum, is oxidacion. Brush or grind the welding surface just right before weldin.
And last but not least, Great youtube chanel 👍👍👍👍
Cut you're self some slack, iron isn't the best choice for welding, especially anything thicker than 3/16-1/4
A vacuum cleaner and magnet on a extention will collect all the metal shavings so no need to remove the turbo. Plugged a m12 bolt to do oven cleaner access point for turbo and dpf.
Vandalay Industries. Classic. 😂
Do diesel mercs come in AMG or is it only for petrol engines
Did you sell this CDI ?
is it a 320cdi?
Just got a 05 e320 cdi… Got 40.3 mpg on the last tank
I believe you left the gage circuit unprotected, the add-circuit is connected backwards, I believe the 5 amps fuse is doing nothing
Amazing videos I’m getting a Benz just because of you lol
had it not been easier to take the manifold out ?
You should use nickel electrode to weld cast and preheat iron first. I would silver braze it.
Put a little wet clay mold over the things you want to weld in place and not loosing while you’re welding like this tight place and small welding for cheap and professional. That’s the point in welding with purified water and clay mold like cheap with good temperature control experience and good welding outcome. Literally, welding needs some experiences for good results.
I’m watching this for my 1998 300d
Love that there’s narration in disassembly tutorials now. Keep up the great work 👍🏼
Your wire metal is not suiting manifold material. U gotta have wire that can weld the casted exhaust manifold .
Shitty life pro tip: if you drill that hole with the engine running, the turbo will act like a vacuum cleaner and suck away the chips.
What about “rolling coal”?
Hi From the uk … I have this engine in my s320 cdi it’s covered 150k full service history and my family owned for 8!years . It starts drives like new … actually the whole car is still like new absolutely no warning lights and no problems what so ever … i got a very very good one. My question is what kind of performance over the reliability are you looking and or getting from these mods please ….. also have a 350 sl 3.7 that is a pure toy for me …. what can be done to this for more performance please
Jesus this Welding…..
Thank you for explain step by step. We'll love you if you do that in all or your videos. We are here to learn from you
install injectors from c30 cdi AMG w203 if you need more fuel they FIT 🙂
Wire feed was likely malfunctioning due to the bends in the mig lead.
There is no 'L' in spatter
Paint the manifold
Couldn’t you just grab off the temperature from the particle filter?
I drive a BMW e90 LCI 330XD with a mild tune and it’s just a great car!
It’s properly tuned in a shop, got a racing suspension, a bit software customization for the automatic transmission, aluminum intercooler, the small bmw performance carbon spoiler lip on the trunk, a thick steering wheel with paddles from a M3 SMG, an adjustable strut brace in the front and nice grippy Michelin tires (even in winter… ok my winter wheel set is actually nicer than my beat up alloy wheels in the summer 🤔 weird)
Over all is a nice, normal looking 3 series nobody would be suspicious of but some diesel-heads…
Only these weird people would notice a that this XDrive version is sitting 8cm lower than stock because of the fully adjustable suspension, the bigger intercooler of just That all of this counted together says “don’t mess with this diesel!”
This combination of daily driver and mean beast is what I love about a properly tuned diesel… good mileage, smooth running until you put your foot down and all hell breaks loose!
Drill and tap would have been easier
lol you cant paint either
That shirt!
"Fixing to make allot more power" lol I lived in the Midwest, so I know that slang. Lol
How about brazing to cast iron. Jody makes it look simple. Experts often do! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQN_yz-4Hhg
I would like to know how removing the vanes in the intake manifold effects engine performance? Mine has a broken vane that almost went into the intake! If removed will an error code cause a problem and how can I fix that ? Would also like to know if 647 injectors for a diesel sprint 2.1 liter can be used in the 211? Thanks!
Doesn’t know how to weld, yet thinks he’ll try welding to cast iron. This should be interesting.
5:50 – after drilling through exhaust manifold, uses shop vac to clear debris outside the manifold. What about inside the manifold? Uh Oh!
To be honest, this is at best a braze job. Good thing it doesn't carry any load.
nobody-s weld going to look good on cast iron with normal steel .
Pigeon shit welding !! 🙈🤣
