r/W124

Mercedes w124 (duh) 300d, don’t know if it has any rust yet, listed for 2500€, could probably lower the price by a few hundreds if I find problems.

Looking for someone who bought facelift w124 e500 body kit need help looking for one please

I thought my car allready had a new harness, turned out I was wrong. But... turned it into an opportunity to fix all the small stuff I never had time (or motivation) for.

-Brand new upper and lower wiring harness for the engine.

-Removed cluster to fix the temp display+light (it was stuck so had to remove vents).

-Transmission oil, filter and gasket.

-Fixed automatic antenna.

-New side mirror rubbers, fixed wiring left mirror.

-Lighted sun visor holders replaced, made bad contact because of damage.

-Decorative metal stripes door trim replaced.

-Gas filter replaced.

-Serviced central locking pump because of poor operation.

-Replaced double horn with the right tones.

-Summer wheels balanced (vibration).

And some more small things like greasing and cleaning stuff.

Glad to say that this dissapointing problem was turned into something productive. Now she is ready for some more extensive use! Now onto some small rust repairs as the next project 🤌🏻

My W124 200E 1991 has a rough start when it has not started recently. It's fine when it's been started and warmed up within a half hour/hour beforehand. Outside temperature does not make a difference, turns over first time. What could it be? I've tried adding injector cleaner and I'll try replace the spark plugs now. Any other ideas would be great!

What causes this

Battery voltage is 12v

When ı drive it car stops constantly

For those that may remember;

I made a post a while ago about the cooling system for this car because i was going to the Netherlands.

The fan clutch was dead. The car made it to the Netherlands and back with no proper cooling system. It survived.

New fan clutch was installed today due to an impending heatwave. I flew too close to the sun last week with the broken fan clutch.

Is this even normal? To have some kind of oily stuff under the shifter? Surely not right?

Hi colleagues! Please help me pick up the front springs for my 124 Mercedes, M102 engine without air conditioning.
One turn broke and the car tilted slightly.

This light on my dash came on. Is this the coolant level warning light? My fluid seems okay...

Can someone confirm, what am i to look at next? Is there a sensor which may have failed in the resevoir?

Thanks in advance!

Finally got around to change the horrible wooden knob to a leather one. The leather is not a genuine sportline knob but close enough. I dont have millions to buy genuine ones.

Hello, so I wanted to unscrew my MAF (LMM) from my w124, now I have these screws hindering me from extracting the sensor from the tube. How do I open them? What can I use?
It’s a w124 CE320 with the m104 engine from 1992.
Thank you so much

Edit: couldn’t open it. Sensor is clean. Issue still there. Thank you all for your help and insights

I have been building this for my wife whole winter.

It is already looking good but still need some work on details.

I’m wondering if this relay is meant to be so difficult to pull out, my ABS light is stuck on, I heard somewhere pulling this relay out and cleaning the contact might help but I can’t seem to pull it out, I don’t want to damage it either.

Is it meant to be difficult to remove?
Do I need to pry it out with a screw driver?

Any information would be appreciated, after this I have to check the OVP relay and the wheel speed sensor, any other recommendations as to why the ABS light might be on would be amazing!
