Re: [MBZ] W124 E300 Diesels

[Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes]

An na 606 w124 would be hard to beat for a young guy. Nobody under 40
should drive an m119. Fun motor but far too fast and inefficient for
college or whatever.

You can chirp tires from a start.  #1 boy was able to spin it 180* from a
dead stop into a telephone pole within its own wheel base.  IT does not
perform like an e500, but does as well as the other 3 liters.  There is no
need to mash the pedal, there is lots of left over power to overtake other
cars on steep mountain passes.  There was one issue with EGR going wonky
after cresting Lincoln Pass on I-80, but the SLC dealer made it all good
again.

My collection of old belts also separated at the seam when I finally needed

Re: [MBZ] OT Sanding Belts

Buy high quality ones, not the kind you get at the home centers, and use a belt 
dresser (rubber block) to clear the abrasive frequently.

And yes, the heat will cause the adhesive to fail, but a lot also has to do 
with the amount of stress on the belt. In other words, don’t apply pressure or 
push down on the sander - the abrasive should do the work with you doing 
nothing more than guiding the sander.  Applying pressure in an attempt to 
remove more material will cause the belt to fail prematurely.

Keystone is a good supplier.  I found that the friability of their abrasives 
were probably the best that I used relative to hardwoods.  If you’re sanding 
metals you want low friability so the material won’t break down rapidly.

Re: [MBZ] OT Sanding Belts

I have the same problem.  I think the heat softens the adhesive and they 
just come apart.  The butt joint with about 1/2" of tape just doesn't 
cut it.  I have been thinking to put some fiberglass sheetrock mesh tape 
on the back with some kind of flexible adhesive like shoegoo and see 
that works.

Re: [MBZ] W124 E300 Diesels

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I’m toying with the idea of replacing the S420 with a W124 diesel for the 
youngest boy.  Far more economical, relatively robust, better appointed than a 
W126 diesel, which I am finding are darned near impossible to find in decent 
condition for a reasonable price.

I’ve got a line on a nice 1995 W124 E300 with 175k, dealer maintained, special 
edition, everything works, etc. about a day’s drive away.  It has some minor 
damage in the right front quarter, but nothing a new bumper strip and a tug or 
two on the bottom edge of the fender where it meets the bumper and it would be 
good as new.


I want to be able to send the youngster off when he graduates in December with 
a solid car that won’t drain his bank account for maintenance, repairs and 
operating expenses.  The W124 diesels seem to fit this requirement pretty well, 
and there are still enough of them out there that prices aren’t bad for nice 
examples.  Sure, he won’t have the performance of the M119, but he also won’t 
be spending a small fortune putting gas in the thing.  And he’s gain the 
reliability and economy of a diesel, too.

We’ll see as I know more.

Thanks to all for the insight, as I know the W124 well but not the diesel 
versions.

Re: [MBZ] W124 E300 Diesels

[clay via Mercedes]

As long as you like the W124 body, this is a great car to own and drive.  SWMBA 
liked it enough to drive for seven years.  ACC is dodgy, but that is what the 
W124 has, diesel or not.  Would still be driving it had it not been smacked 
really hard by a dame paying no attention.  We owned it for ten years.

Seating is comfortable for ten hour driving days (650-680 miles) for many days 
in a row.  I did Orlando to Seattle in five days.  The acceleration is not neck 
snapping, but faster than a W123 or W126 diesel.  You can chirp tires from a 
start.  #1 boy was able to spin it 180* from a dead stop into a telephone pole 
within its own wheel base.  IT does not perform like an e500, but does as well 
as the other 3 liters.  There is no need to mash the pedal, there is lots of 
left over power to overtake other cars on steep mountain passes.  There was one 
issue with EGR going wonky after cresting Lincoln Pass on I-80, but the SLC 
dealer made it all good again.

This is good to know as I haven’t driven one before and I was curious what that

They have more power than the 617 and 602 turbos and just about the same hp as 
the 3.5 603. In other words they are not doggy at all. Now if you step up to a

Re: [MBZ] W124 E300 Diesels

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

So for those who have owned/driven this model, I'm curious as to your 
impression of their performance since they're not turbocharged.

Are they doggy in comparison to the turbo version?  Do you have to drive them 
with your foot into the pedal?

I love the performance of the OM603 in my W126. It's close to a vergasser in 
performance, I think.

Re: [MBZ] AC Leak

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Replaced a bunch of O-rings yesterday, everything I could get to without a 
major undertaking.  Still leaked down to around 20"-25” Hg after 30-45 minutes.

I replaced the receiver dryer, charged the system with R134a and used the 
Cliplight sealer that saved the 500 evaporator.  24 hours later it’s still 
making ice cubes. I’ll continue to watch it to see if it leaks down, but 
previously it would be dead by now so I guess I had a leak somewhere and the 
compressor shaft seal is intact.

I went back and looked in my purchase inspection notes and saw that the PO said 
it would leak down every season, not completely but enough that it would need a 
can of refrigerant to make it cold again, so maybe it’s the leak that he was 
experiencing and it just got worse…

road, no need for a trailer
