Hi,
this forum was recommended to me... and this is really a great place for guys like me, interested in the D-Jetronic system. We have a forum in Germany, German and English language "oldtimer.tips", too. We are more conservative than you are, mostly just trying to find out everything about the system and how to repair the components. We are hobbyists mostly MB, but also BMW, VW, Opel, Porsche, Renault, Citroen, Lancia... all the car brands D-Jetronic was installed in. I by myself designed a tool for re-adjusting the trigger points to the original values. Simple to be rebuilded if you have a lathe - I will send you a figure on request. Now my own request: Does anyone here own a Ditron 812D tester, too? I own such a device, but without any instruction. It once came to Europe with the instruction, but it got lost. I bought the Ditron some months ago on ebay from switzerland - the seller told me he had bought it many years ago at ebay USA. It's no problem for me to understand and use the basic testing functions, but this tester is not only a testing - but an ECU-simulating device. I don't really need the Ditron 812D to diagnose or optimize my car - I own some other testers. But because the D-Jetronic-system is my hobby, I would like to understand the additional function, i.e. what the manufacturer intended the user to test / adjust with it. Hope that someone still has the instruction for the tester... My tester has serial #119 - don't know how many were built at all. P.B. "Brad" Anders described the tester: D-Jetronic Testers as being similar to the Janbo Model 112 he described more detailed. Does anyone own the tester / the instruction? Please help... Regards Norbert |

Hi Jeff,
thanks for your Wellcome... I already noticed your website before and tried to contact you for harness parts that are NLA in Germany some months ago. I don't do any workshop job at this time, just developed a tool for readjusting the trigger-points some years ago. I then got more and more interested in the D-Jet-System I got trained on about 40 years ago but didn't really do the job since then - my own classic car (Opel Diplomat, equipped with D-Jetronic) I own for many, many years running fine and parts always being avaible when I needed them. Volker "Dr.D-Jet" has created the oldtimer.tips website, I just participate from all his work. He just yesterday told me he actually does translating the older articles there into English language, too - a lot of work remaining to be done. I believe in he is working about 40 hours a day... I will take your advice and try to contact Brad one more time - and publish some information about my "trigger-points-tool" here on the website. The tool is known in some Mercedes-Benz-forums but seems to be unknown to you. Here at this time a picture showing the tool in position - you will understand, what it does. And another one showing the tool in a 914-trigger-points-set: Regards Norbert |
