There are two part numbers indicated at time index 00:10. I ordered them
both, but only one of them works on the banjo fitting at the base of the
accumulators of the 1987 300TD. The original part seems NLA (no longer
available.) It is rumored the crush washer used at the engine oil drain
plug also works. Of the two listed in the video, you want:
Part number: 00 760 301 6103 16mm x 22mm x 1.5mm
You need TWO crush washers for each accumulator.
Tips:
Reuse the hydraulic fluid. Before you begin, clean the dirt from the banjo
fitting at the base of the accumulator. Crack the fitting open until the
fluid begins to drain. Use a funnel and a plastic bottle to capture the
fluid. Expect 10 ounces per accumulator drained.
Don’t bend the lines. Take care when removing and replacing the
accumulators not to bend the lines. It can make aligning the nuts to the
new ones difficult without cross threading.
Use the proper wrench. As suggested in the video, use of an 11mm (slotted)
flare nut wrench keeps the nut from stripping.
W124 wagons: begin by removing the interior panel. Removal of the panel
over the accumulators can be a real chore. It’s best to complete this step
before placing the vehicle on jack stands.
neo, I couldn’t connect the right side line, is there a trick?
i got them and the hydraulic fluid at AutohausAz as shown in the video. If
the seal is not listed, simply email or call them and they will give you
the part number and price.
hay I’m having problems with my 300te you think you could help me?
Great video thank you – btw – where did you buy the seal rings for the
banjo fittings? I cant find them. Thanks!
@MW2Rocks3839 post your problem, may be I or others can help
I think I found the answer myself, yes there is.
start with replacing your OVP, could also be fuel pressure or low idle speed
Awesome video! Helps a lot! Thanks
did you ever find the gaskets for the banjo fittings?
my 300TE turns off a some stops any able to help?
Is there one copper seal on each side of the banjo fitting?
Hard line into the accumulators or ? Be careful with the fitting, you don’t
want to cross thread it. Hand tighten to be sure it’s going in straight
before using a wrench to tighten.
