W124 running problems.

[staley_e30]

Hi everyone. New here as you can see and new to the Mercedes ownership. I have recently bough a 300te 24v and I'm having some issues.

The car struggles to start when hot, and will not idle properly when hot either.
I have found 2 vacuum leaks so far a suspect there may be another. Also the thermostat is broken and need replacing.

What else can I look for? Not knowing these cars inside out.

Thanks,

probably best to take it to local indie to get a read out on diagnostics (STAR) and go from there.

Hello and welcome by the way.
