Looking at an 89 300e. I know nothing about the gassers and this chassis. What should I look for? What is too high for mileage? Thanks, Mike ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives

Probably the most important thing is a properly working fuel distributor. Parts are getting VERY expensive. Next is suspension -- that car used the old design suspension links and they are likely dead if not replaced fairly recently. Not a huge job, but they drive horribly until you get

And, as best as I remember, there was the aera with the green wires/harneses. 124 201 alike. Power to the 123/126 and earlier cars. Thinking of the adoption of computers in the automotive world makes me weep (twice the wires, but where do they all go to?). Yes, now we have ABS, ASC, Traction

I think the bio-degradable wiring came in '90 or '91? Might not be an issue in the '89, or I could be wrong. On Sun, Dec 18, 2011 at 7:47 PM, Hans Neureiter diese...@gmail.com wrote: And, as best as I remember, there was the aera with the green wires/harneses. 124 201 alike. Power to the

Don; I know. The '87 EeDee was a suspect. I think you rode in it. It as was a cross-over year and I got lucky. Confusing times. 124's were replaced by 201's. E300D's were replaced by E300 Compressor's, And after 1989 diesels were no longer sold in the USA. Starting with the 190 class, I lost it.

Hans - you've been feeling the flower power a bit too much lately -- I thought EeDee was a '95. Yes, it was a very nice ride! The 201 came first in '84, followed by the 124 in '86 (at least in the US). I own both a '90 and '92 300D 2.5 Turbo, so, yes, Diesels were (and still are) sold in the US.

Yes, you are correct. I am a decade off. EeDee is a '95 W124. Ex takes good care of it and I still am consulted (bust my knuckles). I always thought the 201's succedes the 124's. As far as the clatta, clatta goes, --- urban myths. Courtesy transport from the dealer where my car was towed to after

Well I got out to mess with it today. First thing I did for good measure was change the fuel filter. Made no difference. While running bad after warm, pulled the OVR to disable FI, no change. Swapped out the EHA valve, no change. Didnt have any diagnostic tools so Im just sitting there
