I think when most people say bulletproof they mean maintainable. The real killer for me on 123 cars is the inability to find one that isn't all rusted out. Most of the cheap ones now have descended to the level of real beaters that even I don't want to tackle. I saw a couple on Craigslist in the $2500 range with no exterior trim, terrible interiors and many signs of neglect like rust, failed paint, leaking windows/sunroof and failed ACC. Last summer when my Jetta quit on the highway (failed wiring to the shutoff solenoid) a friend said Geez I thought those were reliable... Its a 16 year old car I drove 20,000 miles in a year with only 3 breakdowns. One I was able to drive home from, one I could have driven home from with a little more knowledge and 2 feet of jumper wire that I now carry. Sounds pretty good to me. -Curt Of course the Jetta is down right now awaiting a new radiator...

I changed the hose between the booster and the intake (it was a gas engine) and that solved the problem. There was a check valve in the hose that would sometimes stick.

I fiddled with a rubber connector to the brake booster line, and happily the problem disappeared for nearly a week. The issue then resurfaced, but now the following symptoms occur all the time: 1) Power brakes completely gone - must apply extremely forceful pressure on the brake pedal (or petal, if you prefer). 2) Cannot shut off the engine with key - must be done manually 3) Vacuum door locks completely inoperative, even with the engine running. Otherwise, everything else on the car works fine. Whoever is the first to successfully diagnose this problem, based solely on the symptoms enunciated above, wins a coveted ATTABOY. Good luck.

Re: [MBZ] Someone in IL needs this 116

The car is a 450SEL (long wheel base W116) with a 6.9L instead of a 4.5L V8. This is standard MB badging -- if the W116 had originally had the 6.9 as designed, it would be badged as a 690SEL. Fat chance on that, there was a very substantial difference in price point, that 6.9L is VERY expensive. Obviously there are other diffrerences, but MB names the car line by the original engine size (4.5L = 450, etc) as a rule, then later modifications will get a badge on the right side. Hence a 300D 2.5 Turbodiesel for the 5 cylinder 2.5L turbocharged engine in the W124 chassis, which originally had the 3.0L OM603 instead of the 2.5L OM602. Just how MB names cars.

Re: [MBZ] This worth anywhere near the listed price?
Run away from this pos. The owner is obviously lying. -- Sent from myMail app for Android Monday, 08 September 2014, 08:02PM -0400 from dseretakis--- via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com: Depends upon condition. If the rust is merely surface which the owner claims but I doubt then it's probably worth the asking price. Sent from my iPhone On Sep 8, 2014, at 7:17 PM, Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] FYI 85 123.133 for sale; usable for parts
What color interior? -- Sent from myMail app for Android Monday, 08 September 2014, 09:30AM -0400 from John Reames via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com: Mainly drive-train stuff is usable; radiator and oil cooler are no good; body has rust-through in several places, so some body stuff might be usable. It's in Towson, MD (21204); I thought I would give everyone here a shot at it before CL or the wrecker. It was running well until it abruptly stopped, mangling the front end. -j -- John W Reames jream...@verizon.net Home: +14106646986 Mobile: +14437915905 ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
