    Rear differential oil for w124?

    I have found some fully synthetic 75w-90 designed for extreme pressure with additives, GL-5 and MB 235.0 recommended. It's a triple qx brand, and the spec looks sound from eurocarparts for £15.49 a litre, I think these w124 take around 1.3liters??? Regards Zahid Sent from my WAS-LX1A using...

    Rear differential oil for w124?

    Hi, Today I have started servicing my vehicle at my brothers garage, and the gear oil sent from autodoc is very thin, just like water. My brother said no way, the rear diff oil should be thick. I have been doing some searches, now some people online are saying fully synthetic oil 75w 90...

    W124 Estate rear self leveling to rear shocks?

    Hi, I was wondering if you could swap out the self leveling system from a w124 300TE-24 estate to some decent shocks! I know the pipe work and pump needs removing, but how is the pump powered? By the engine or an electrical motor? Thanx Zahid Sent from my WAS-LX1A using Tapatalk

    Installed a new o-ring for the distributor dust cover. Changed the distributor and rotor arm to a new one as car was suffering from starting issues. Changed the M104 top engine block spark plug cover to a newer used one. Sent from my WAS-LX1A using Tapatalk

    My mercedes w124 300te has starting issues!

    Success! The car didn't even cut out after 10 minutes, it was still running for 25 minutes. I haven't even driven it, so hope to God it doesn't break down! I gave the spark plug leads a good clean using a wire brush too. Used some silicone cream and rubbed it over the spark plug leads to...

    My mercedes w124 300te has starting issues!

    Thanx Brian for the reply. If I cannot source an o ring, could I use a sealant from a tube and put a line around the plastic gasket? Would you recommend if I purchase the new distributor and fit it without the new large o-ring to temporary keep me going until I wait for a new o-ring from...
