This shiftknob came with the car. Yes its a real sportline, but the wooden sportline knobs weren't a thing. It looks so ugly with the badge just glued on it looks like. I dont think this is just a wooden sheet over the original knob. Does anyone have tips to make it look better, because im not into to pay hundreds of euros for a genuine sportline knob
Hi guys
Thinking about buying my first w124. It’s a 1989, 230E, 5 speed manual with 290.000 km. Brown exterior and interior.
It has some small issues (electric leak, oil leak, engine shaking a little, ABS system not in very good state.) But also some rust almost on every side. Is this an okay deal to keep for a couple years after fixing the issues? Or is the rust too bad?
Thanks for the advice!
Halfshaft decided it was my time while cruising
My car has had this problem for a while. I changed the oil and oil filter, but it didn't solve anything. As you can see from the photos, when I start the engine, the oil pressure is at 3. After 5 minutes of driving, it's already a little lower, and when the engine warms up, it's at 0, BOTH at idle and while driving.
There are no strange engine noises that would suggest the engine isn't lubricated. The engine oil is in the right amount, halfway between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick. I used 10W40 full synthetic oil.
I didn't take it to the mechanic because I need it every day, and since there aren't any strange noises, I don't think there's really no oil getting to the engine. But now I'd like to fix it. What should I check?
Currently refurbing them but thought I'd post as you dont really see these wheels on them!
Seller wants 7k for this wagon. It has 305k miles. It is pretty clean all around, has had the head gasket replaced along with new brakes and suspension. I love this body style but don’t know if 7k is worth a car that has 300k miles. What would be a reasonable offer?
I recently replaced the LCD screen in my dash temperature gauge -- screen works great now, which is terrific. But what I've noticed is that when the weather's warm, the displayed temp displayed is often like 20(f) higher than actual outside temp.
I know the temperature sensor itself is somewhere up front, But I'd kind of expected it would be a works or totally doesn't work kind of part, as opposed to "Just totally wrong a lot of the time" kind of thing.
Hoping someone has some tips for troubleshooting?
Thanks!
From buying it in august for cheap, spending most of my time after work cutting out rust and welding in fresh metal, fixing most of the issues, converting the passenger airbag to a glove box to now with full inspection and all it needs is cosmetics like a hella spoiler and a respray
I am sorting out a new 93 300d. The left front dash and left rear deck speakers work, but the right channel doesn't. The bass speakers in the both front doors also don't work. I took the head unit out and swapped the speaker wires and the right speakers did play perfectly fine. So for some reason the right channel has no signal. How can I go about diagnosing this?

Don’t know what could cause this. Wiring loom is replaced, the butterfly on the throttle body is closed.
3-pass cut and also completely black grille with all the moldings
All 500E comes as a left hand drive car, I wonder which scenario is more plausible for this W124?
A bit more info is that this car is in Indonesia, where it's impossible to import a used car. So for it to be real 500E somebody must've imported it brand new in the 90s, which is already a baller move, then RHD swapped it.
