For anyone chasing electrical gremlins

Bought this at auction in CA and had it shipped to me in KC. I sold a 300TDT and I'm parting out my tired old '79 240D.

Now after 10 years I finally have a rust free, low mileage project car. No leaks. Let me repeat that. No leaks!

It's been fun discovering that the prior owner or their mechanic didn't know what they were doing. Steering pump leak? Tighten that bolt down. Vacuum leak? Did you check the lines passing through the door grommet?

It's so fun to feel the turbo kick in when you stomp on it. I set the wastegate to 8 psi and it's already screaming. Can't wait to get it up to 10-11 psi.

Interior is fair. Dash is heavily cracked. A couple of seams in the vinyl seats have loosened up. Front end needs tightened up. Motor mounts eventually.

Do I love doing the work? Yes! Would I sell it? Also yes!

Picked this up a couple of months ago. Runs great but is a little hard to start at times and smokes on start up. Will be trying to get that worked out.

As a young kid I was carted around in my great uncles Yellow W123, I think it was a 230e as it was extremely slow on any incline.

For about a year I've been hunting down a yellow w123 of my own to replace my current 1973 Landrover Series daily driver.

I see there's a lot of engine options, but I'm not sure what engine is the one to own. I'm not concerned about power, my only want is a very good condition yellow sedan that is very reliable, and I would prefer a manual. Originally I had the idea of doing an engine conversion (VW 1.9TDI same as my Landrover series) but I will probably end up just leaving the w123 stock instead.

Y'all look at this! 🤣

I have the opportunity to trade some work( aborist tree removal type work ) for a 1984 300sd turbo diesel. 180,000 miles . But it hasn't been started or ran since 2010 the paint body interior is in good shape. I would like some opinions on the value to work out the trade fairly.

If anyone remembers my post the other day regarding the bolt through the engine stop lever, I think I figured out why all the throttle rods were incorrectly measured. It seems that the idle speed stop mount was broken off and that was previous owners fix.

Will I be able to remedy this in a way that does not involve replacing the injection pump?!
I have a spare NA OM617 and it’s Idle Speed Stop screw as well.

I’m watching my buddies 78 W123 while he is out of the country traveling. The car was previously parked in a warehouse for a while. I had to jump it to get it to start originally a week or so ago.. but now I’m having trouble jumping it.

Hello! I have a w123 that is missing the code for radio, what does this mean? Searches seem to say 533 is code for radio delete but I don’t see it either. I don’t have access to the paper data card and I’m fully restoring it so trying to figure out what to do for a radio replacement. I appreciate all the help I can get!

Does anyone have the part number for the rear springs on the sls wagon? I was thinking it was 123 324 06 04 but now I'm not sure.

Thank you

Had some issues with engine shake and weird sounds in general so got some new fuel injectors through W123 garage. Upon installation, the slightly blue smoke I had before installation (presumably some oil burning on startup that would clear pretty quick) has turned into quite a bit of white smoke that only really clears up after actually driving, even once warm enough without driving it is still pretty smoky. Was very noticeable instantly upon installing injectors so im hopeful it’s not the headgasket. Also got the black viton lines, which seem to be weeping a bit. Could a simple air leak on my return lines be causing that much smoke? Any other ideas as to what could be causing this? I have only seen great things about the injector service from w123 garage and dont want to assume anything went wrong there.

Anyone know what my replacement options are for the Sealed headlights. The glass broke the bottom and the bulb is shot.

A dream 10 years in the making!

I have 2 300ds fairly common a 1980 cream yellow and a 1985 baby blue turbo diesel I know they are fairly common but on Sunday I’m buying a third 1981 signalrot red 300d also any tips for getting one running after sitting I resurrected my 1980 but any tips help also driving it home 2 hours after sitting for 7 years

There’s about a quarter sized area of rust that needs to be rectified. Does anyone have any one who can fix this in the DC Maryland Virginia area? I had a few questions. Does anyone know if these wheels are original Mercedes? I know it did come with the painted ones originally, but just trying to figure out if these are also Mercedes. I much prefer though painted ones. Also, any tips/recommendations on how to deep clean the seats? They have held up remarkably well I don’t wanna damage them, but I just need to do a very deep clean before I have it detailed . Thank you so much.

Came back from lunch to find this, not sure what happened, if anyone has a rear windows they're willing to sell please let me know

My W123 sunroof needs lots of force when sliding it, also needs a lot of force when I rotate the T handle. I assume the sunroof needs deep cleaning of old grease and lubrication.
How can I remove the sunroof with the roof lid (leather roof from inside) so I can lubricate the T handle and sliding rails?

I've been on this community for quite some time, actively taking a look at new posts every day. I see all kinds of posts about appreciating and "glazing" the om616/om617 engines ( absolutely for a reason, theyre bulletproof! ) but never have i seen anyone talk about the om615, the 200D. Yes, it might be slow. Yes, it "might" be a pain in the ass on the highway. BUT it is just as good as the 240D and 300D, just a little bit slower. Imo the 200D deserves more appreciation than it gets, for being such a reliable, bombproof beautiful piece of German engineering. I daily my W123 200D, and yeah, it sucks when accelerating onto the highway ( It's a 4speed manual too lol )

Second pic is my two beloved W123s, the 200D in blue and the silver 230E.

Show your W123 the love it deserves!

The small hose seems to be seeping and the other one seems a little too long and old

What are the sizes on this?
