w124

Just got my W124 E280T back from the garage and the battery was disconnected so the Radio asks for a code. I got a little paper from the former owner but now this seems to be missing. Is there a way to get hold of the code again? The car chassis nr is WDB1240881F282204... Thanks in advance!

Hi, Has anyone got an idea. The front wiper and washer stopped working yesterday (snow, slush & salt - great) and, at the same time, the windows stopped working. When stopped, and the motor not running, the windows work fine. When running, not. If it was just the wiper I would look at...

I have now got my E300. Having had it checked over there are no issues mechanically. There does seem to be a reluctance to start from cold. It takes longer for the engine to fire depending on the temperature, but only from 1st start. Is there a cold start injector or temp sensor that could cause...

Tonight I had a real 'bonding' night with my car. Whilst changing the light bulbs of my left headlight - a very annoying job on its own due to the hydraulic oil tank that's totally in the way (thanks Stuttgart) - I noticed that the tank for the 'Hydraulic Oil/Öl' was empty. Strange cause my...

Today while driving away from the house (w124 E280T, 1994, automatic) my ASR light came, not the warning light in the middle of the speedo but the one on the right side in the row of lights. From that moment on the engine didn't rev up anymore. This continued until I turned the engine off and...

Hello. I am the proud owner of a W124 E280 T and it came with 3 original Infrared Keys. My only question is why MB decided to introduce this Infrared method as opposed to a normal Remote Controlled Key. I notice that it's handy but at the same time annoying, for instance when I wanna use the...

Hi all I have a 1995 E220 Coupe (my second one) and I love it but need to sell as I have no space. Where would you recommend posting it for sale? I'm keen to get it in front of genuine MB enthusiasts like you but the link on this forum seems to go to a different company. Any thoughts...

The heater blower of my W124 E280 T works at times. Sometimes it doesn't work at all, but then when I turn off the ignition switch and back on again it blows fine (mostly on max speed). I have the EC type of heating so there is only a slow and fast mode and a button for AUTOMATIC mode. When it...

Disaster has struck! Timing chain and/or chain tensioners have broken. Either way, the engine went "BANG" and died. The tappets no longer work, no compression to speak of and the hood is still down - so there is no doubt on the diasgnosis nor of my predicament. The questions are: - what...

Hi, First time on the forum but looks like a great source of info. I recently started having problems with my wipers going every time I touched the Indicator stalk in order to indicate. Then a couple of days ago the indicators just stopped working, the hazards work fine but I get no...

Hello! First problem I've had with my 300TE: the ABS does not function, and the ABS light does not come on at any point (not when you turn on the ignition, or when driving). Otherwise the car drives with no problems. I have read some threads about the OVP relay failing, or the fuse...

My first post!! I am running 18" amg aero 2's on my 300ce. But because thier too big and i don't want to make a loss on them by selling them on ebay i need help into how i can make them fit. rears are fine, fronts have spacer and stick out beyond wheel arch and the rubbing is...

My 1993 K-reg W124 220TE estate now has 204k miles on the clock, authentic rust bubble on the front wing and a collection of minor scratches and small car-park dents on the bodywork. Oh, and the automatic gear box is starting to be a bit awkward (takes a long time to change up to 4th; and change...

The tailgate soft-close mechanism on my 1995 W124 estate has started behaving strangely. The mechanism sometimes starts the closing cycle for no reason when the tailgate is already shut. Sometimes it does it just once, sometimes it carries on for a few minutes or until I pull fuse C. The car...
