I believe we own the same manual: Turbo Diesel 300SD (116.120) USA 1978!

The German mentality was that the local shop REPAIR, not replace. That's from the time when there were oil cups, grease fittings and adjustments on many moving parts so that maximum performance could be achieved in part via fine tuning. Valve and carburetor's adjustments etc.

Labor costs now exceed material and (automated) manufacturing costs so the local craftsman mechanics have become obsolete (and hopefully have retired by now).

Testing fuel injectors: reuse if they test OK, otherwise replace. Sounds like "marketing" to find a sale. You may have your injectors rebuilt at a Bosch diesel shop; these are usually found in commercial areas. Our engine's injectors' opening pressure (adjustable inside the injector) should be between 1958 and 2074 psi. (Page 73)

I once had an open compressor clutch coil (84 190D). Inquired with the dealer. They don't carry any part that is smaller than the whole compressor, even though many (including the coil) do have the part numbers.

After some research, I realized the compressor core is used > I always get a kick out of reading parts of the MB manual for my car
