Why not carry an extra, fully charged battery for insurance? Along with tools to change them if necessary.
Greg P.S. My son drove an '80 240D from Austin to Vancouver with no alt. -----Original Message----- From: Mercedes [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2020 2:20 PM To: mercedes@okiebenz.com Cc: Dimitri Seretakis Subject: [MBZ] Running w124 300D with failed alternator? So I’m inheriting Sam’s and then Dwight’s and then Sam’s 1990 300D. It needs a new alternator and I was wondering if you guys think it’ll make the trip from Rhode Island to Massachusetts- roughly 1.5 hour drive if driven with a fully charged battery, without using lights or heat. Once I get it home I will change out the alternator. I’ve got no familiarity with diesels of this generation. I driven a w115 220D with failed alternator on extended trips but that car has mechanical everything. Is this the case with a w124 as well?
