Got a friend with 87 300SDL. He recently developed a hesitation problem upon
acceleration. The car did die on the road a couple of times but hesitation
is the big issue.

Is this the banjo bolt issue?



Re: 300SDL Hesitation


I don't know, but I can tell you this.  I checked the banjo bolt on my
80 300SD for the first time ever at about 120K miles.  It was clean as
a whistle.   So, I wonder how ofter it really gets clogged.   But
certainly worth checking, since it's accessible and easy.

This sounds like fuel filters need to be changed to me.
