- W124 E220
Hi, im new to the forum and mercedes so please be gentle
I have a W124 E220 a 1996 model.
The problem I have is that its a real pain to start. once started it idles very roughly until warm and then its fine. when cold it drives fine but will stall at junctions. again once warm it drives fine and does not stall.
I have had a good search around the forum and think its one of two things
1) Idle control valve
2) Cold start valve.
My question is how do I test these? Also can somebody point out where I can find them in the bay? I have an idea but im not sure and I don't have a workshop manual for it.
Thanks!
