You manual pump is kaputt but don't dispair: there is an aftermaket version that costs peanuts and replacing it is as simple as unscrewing the old one and screwing the new one.

You need to go to a good auto factor and order an air bleeding manual pump for the Bosch injection pump fitted to a OM616 or OM617 engine, as fitted to the W123 range of Mercedes saloons.

That looks like a Bosch part number.

But it doesn't need to be a Bosch pump.

As to the oil... are you sure it wasn't dried diesel?

Hi guys
New on the block, love the site.
Say, Mustafa where did you get the diesel primer pump from, do they mail order abroad, like to Africa. I am not American but my easiest source at the moment is EuroTruck. Please help.
