if i remember around the 176k if i remeber correctly ofcourse on that year it doesnt have the extra didget for the 100k but the motor looks too clean to have over that on it but i could be wrong so 176k or 476k but i would go with 176k

I just noticed your location what kind of tepps have you had the last day or two.
Always disable your glowplugs before you shoot any amount of either in it.
If it started on either it either isn't spinning over fast enough or the glowplugs are not working properly. It is possible it has low compression but not likely.

switch to an electric pump.turn the key and she self primes boys.
pushing fuel is better than sucking it even if some people disagree and dont like modern technology lol.
save the starter for starting.let an electric pump do the fueling.
do i agree with those who claim it works fine if everything is maintained? yup.
but i also know when somethings better than just fine.
just my 2 cents.
