My neighbor has a 1996 E320 sedan that he has asked for some help with. It seems it has been intermittently and suddenly dieing while driving. No stumbling to a stall, just suddenly no more engine. Attempting to restart the engine would be met with starter but no fire. Then after allowing things to set for a while it would restart. First thing I thought was K40 and CPS. I started at the K40 as it is the easiest to access. First impression is the 40 amp fuse in the F4 position is blown. I opened up the K40 and there is no sign of damaged solder points. I replaced the 40 amp as a long shot and it proceeded to burn it out with in a min of the engine running.

Can anyone tell me if they feel if the K40 is bad it would burn out said fuse, or is it more likely something else upstream, deeper in the electronics is burning it out? Interesting note, the car will start and run with this fuse popped, not sure how long, but I was surprised by this.

Thanks for any and all assistance.]]> http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.asp?tid=19025 I'm looking for hard-top for Mercedes 124 cabrio in Europa (Netherlands, Italy, Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Croatia, Bosnia....)

Is there fuel in the tank? YES
Is there a buzz from fuel pump? YES
Are all fuses whole? YES
Is there juice in battery? YES

And that's where things stand at the moment. I don't know what else to do. Any ideas?
Next step for me would be to tow it to a mechanic somewhere.

I just don't get it... it has been working fine until now. (although admittedly, there was one incident of hard-to-start last week sometime)

The only change during troubleshooting has been that, while cranking, it used to sound like ka-rur-rur-rur. Now it sounds more like ka-rur-rur-rar. Don't know why.

Help?

My question is, how do these engines/trans(I assume this is a 722.3) hold up with this many miles and should I snatch it up. I would be installing this in my 86 W460 GWagen. I just finished a 617a install and am not really impressed. Thanks.]]> http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.asp?tid=19670
A side thought: To my surprise, I found little activity in the W124 forum. Would you say in retrospect that the W124 ended up being a transitional model, or perhaps the shoes of the W123 were too large to fill?

My idea is to find a versatile car mostly for weekend/daytrip/errand use, not as a daily driver... Something mechanically simple and reliable which doesn't require to be in the shop 2 out of 3 times I use it.

Any tips are appreciated, thanks.]]> http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.asp?tid=19164 I checked the fuses and they look good.

I don't know what to troubleshoot.

Any suggestions?

thanks,

I own a '93 e320 24V with 5 spd matic tranny. The gearbox is jammed now and according to my mechanic, I need to replace it. Anyone know where can I source it, besides ebay which is not available.

After several months of talking, I have convinced my girlfriend to purchase a W124 (she drives about 40K/year, so the reliability and efficiency of a 300D are great for her). We are picking up gorgeous example of a '92 300D 2.5 turbo tomorrow, but there isn't any record of when the timing chain was last changed, so I would like to get that taken care of. Can anyone recommend a good mechanic in north Texas (Dallas) that knows W124s pretty well?

Much appreciated.]]> http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.asp?tid=14592 _________________

]]> http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.asp?tid=16632 Bought it 4 months ago @ 120k miles.
It was on LPG,first i removed LPG,because there were Fuel/Power problems on it.
After removing LPG system completely,increased power,but consumption was disaster. (150miles full tank)
Checked air flow meter/sensor it was some higher from factory/original position.Mechanic fixed it.Fuel/power normalized but still not satisfactory for straight m103.
Several mechanics tried to adjust mixture but not satisied fuel consumption is still high (16-18 in city).And not run as 180 HP.
What should i do?No professional mechanic in my city.

Eha is working and turned 1/4.
I' checked and sure no leaks somewhere
exhaust readings at factory settings 500-700 (NO CAT) @ idle
o2 sensor readings 0.4v-0.5v @ idle.
x11 (2-3) reading are 2.5 - 2.8 volts @ idle (Correct 6.5V ? If like that,why co reading is normal/in limits.

Please,please and please help me.
Thanks...]]> http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.asp?tid=16548 I recently purchased a 1992 400E with the 4 Speed Transmission. Buying the car I knew it has some problems shifting (hard shifts). So I went and drained the fluid, changed the filter and put it some MB Transmission Fluid. Drove the car around for a while and checked the level, perfect - right in between low and full. Today I went for the first longer drive (about 100 miles mixed highway and city driving) since purchasing the car and noticed the following issues:
Whirring sound in 1st and reverse
2nd gear is skipped in all scenarios - 1st goes to about 3200RPM then shifts for a fraction of a second into 2nd then into 3rd (slightly above 1000rpm)
3rd shifts into 4th at the earliest at about 3200RPM
Kickdown from 4th to 3rd works fine with good, firm shifts
Kickdown from 3rd to 2nd results in bouncing off the rev limiter
Kickdown from a start has 1st go all the way to redline and stay there bouncing off the rev limiter - lifting from the gas results into a hard shift into 3rd
Any insights into what might be wrong?]]> http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.asp?tid=15496
