My friend's father-in-law who lives in Texas has finally gotten his stalling problem fixed in his 560. He said the mechanic said it was dirty injectors. I didn't even know that the 560 SEL HAD injectors. He also went ahead and changed the plugs and said it runs like a dream! | ||

nomad Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: Dirty Injectors?? Yep most W126's were fuel injected, infact, fuel injection featured on many MB's in the 60's and 70's All V8's from the 60's on were fuel injected and most other models had it as sort of an option My '79 and '85 S-Class' are both injected as was my '77 S-Class That's what the E in SEL means - E=Einspriztung=Injection The only W126 model without fuel injection was the 280S As for the clogged injectors, well, nothing a couple of bottles of injector cleaner every year can't help avoid | ||

Take up the use of fuel cleaners and injector cleaners, starting with four times a year reducing to twice a year. Basically it is a carbon cleaning and reducing agent. A small tin of additive to a full fuel tank is the way to apply it. There are other concentrates of the cleaning but that form is for professional use only. | ||
