[MBZ] Self-leveler on a W123 sedan?
I met a fellow diesel driver at the pump last night. Of course we talked about car and I shared the GoodNews (TM) of Okiebenz. *grin* In the discussion he mention that the previous owner claimed this 240D had hydraulic self-leveling suspension. The PO said the pump in the trunk next to the antenna went bad so he removed it. Todd, the current owner said the loose lines have been leaking oil all over the trunk. A sedan with self-leveler! I had to look, so I stuck my head under the car. I didn't see any nitrogen spheres, or leveler valve. The shocks (dampers) look more like my sedans than the ones in the wagons. I then looked at the engine, and there's no pump like on my wagons. So, is there such a thing as a factory, hydraulic self-leveling suspension for a sedan that puts the pump in the trunk? Or was the PO just telling a story? -- Philip ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] Self-leveler on a W123 sedan?
Self-leveling suspension was available as an option on 123 chassis models (and possibly others) but it was the same system as the wagons with an engine driven pump, nitrogen spheres and the rest.

That was an option on those cars, on euro cars. The pump would be on the engine though. There is not a pump in the truck. I have no idea what the guy is talking about. --- Kaleb C.
