W124 300D estate mountings

[3ps]

Hi,

As per my previous thread on my 300TD exhaust..... can somebody please post a pic of the exhaust sytem so I can compare to what is underneath my car?

The garage have said there is a chance that there is a mounting bracket missing. They seem to remember that the mid section of the exhaust had a bracket that mounted to the gearbox (or close by). Now I think I saw some such thing when I was ordering the part from Mercedes but it wasn't included in what I got.

When I look at the exhaust pics on onlineautomotive.co.uk I can't see it.

It's the only thing I can think of. The previous exhaust split in the flexi pipes at exactly the same spot. Perhaps it was a replacement and was put on without this bracket and because I didn't order one the local garage never missed it.

Thanks.

i think the one you need is 101 http://www.detali.ru/cat/oem_mb2.as...GM=717.433&CT=F&cat=15U&SID=49&SGR=285&SGN=02

Thanks for the reply. That first link doesn't look like it at all. It's a 1992 300TD (touring diesel) which I guess is the same as a 300D.

I did try to use that site but it's mostly in Russian and I couldn't navigate it.

that second link looks like it OM 603 Turbo except it's not a turbo.....
I'm confussed.....

thanks for the info guys. I guess I need to check if I have item 101. If order I guess I interpret that as ordering "137"?

This is a real PITA. I paid 285GBP+VAT for the pipe and now it's ruined a month later.

If that part was missing do you think it would cause enough stress to split one of the flexis?

i would think it could

Honestly, just get it all fabricated in stainless. It's cheaper in the end.

well I got under the car today and there was no bracket in the indicated position. There was a piece of rubber the wa hanging down loosely so i guess it snapped. I couldn't really reconcile the bracket in the picture with what I saw but I'm sure it's OK.

I will try to find a fabricator near me but I haven't heard of any.

Hi

Bracket should look similar to this. This is a 95/95 124 with the OM606 engine.

Hope it helps
