CIS K-Jet Rebuild Completed
I completed the rebuild of my '79 Euro 928 K-Jetronic fuel distributor. It is not that difficult of a job, perhaps 3 hours if you're methodical and spend a lot of time cleaning things up.
Here are some pictures of the guts, not too much there.
If anyone would like to see how it is done, I prepared a nine page doc with diagnostic information (do you need a rebuild), list of parts (less than $10), pictures and instructions.
I cannot guarantee that it will fix everyone's problems, but it can't hurt to clean out the system and replace 25 year old rubber O-rings. If it does work, it will save you about $500 vs. buying a rebuilt fuel distributor.
Drop a note to info@electronikrepair.com and I'll send you the PDF with all the information. I have a low resolution version that is about 254 kbyte or high resolution version that is 1.8 MByte. Let me know if your email is "industrial strength" and you wish to take the big file.

Your OB is a sweet machine, I enjoyed seeing it up on the rack at the 928 OC-IC. We'll have her purring like a kitten.

If anyone knows of these type O-rings, let us know.

Control plunger O ring - if ID is 27.5, thick is 2.5, how can OD be only 30? should be 32.5?? or if OD is 30 x 2.5, id=25?
Also, do you know if the Bosch part no for the distributor is the same on all CIS 928s, or did it change? I may be able to pick up a complete 4.5l cheaply, but mine is an S, so......wonder if its the same?

The Bosch p/n on my '79 Euro fuel distributor is 0 438 100 027. I'm pretty sure they're all the same for 928s.
Looking at the book, the later models were more complex as lambda control was added on Mercedes Benz's later models with KE-Jetronic and Audis with K-Motronic.

We have a sister company that distributes O rings, both Metric and Imp, so I will see if they carry these sizes, and let you know about the hard one.
