6.9 K-jetronic rough and high idle cold start

Found a few leaks with the smoke machine, relatively easy. I guess it's among the usual suspects.

Leak 1-4 will be easy to fix. The two larger rubber parts - in and out aux air valve - I already have. Need to buy the 4mm and 5mm leak lines. And maybe the two small rubber parts on WUR.

Leak 5 will be a bit more challenging. The rubber hose with part number 100 090 01 82 is not easy to find? Any tips?

The injectors incl. seals are new and they looked fine. But I expect more leaks under the air intake.

The hunt continues as soon as the new "smoke machine" is in place.

Yup I would say that "100" hose will be a challenge for sure.  Likely NLA from Benz.  If the hose is still pliable you can try and put a hose clamp on that connection but likely it's rock hard from getting baked by engine heat.

It's listed as available, and costs around 65EUR at Mercedes.

Fantastic, thanks to all of you!

I will check with MB on Monday.

Called MB today. The part is NLA.

Tomorrow I will call Mercedes Classics Center, last resort, before I start assembling a solution based on several individual hoses (elbows, reducing elbows, straight, etc.), will be a puzzle.

That's a pity then. Hopefully you can get around it.

Disassembled the "100 090 01 82" hose today.

47 years old, hard as stone. No wonder there's a vacuum leak at that hose.

The hose is NLA, need to find a solution. I guess I will use several hoses with clamps. We'll see....

I'll be following your progress with this hose for sure.  Can you do this with the fuel distributor and other crap in the way?

If the hose is still solid you could try using plumping teflon tape on the fittings.

I had to remove 2 hard fuel lines on the right side, to get access. Relatively easy to remove, with all the rest in place.

Thanks for the tip, rumb. The hose is beyond repair - I need to find new hoses. A fix for the long-run.

... and remove the fuel supply line to FD.

Still working on the vacuum leak. 5 leaks found.

New rubber boots, new vacuum lines, etc. ready to be installed. And gave the aux air valve. the idling house and bolts a thorough clean.

Waiting for 1 hose to arrive, and working on the solution for the "100"-hose.
