    1993 W124 2.5 TD - Engine Cuts Out on Low RPM

    Thanks for all the links, Grober. So the idle speed mechanism adjustment is the area I should be investigating further? No point in messing around with relays/sensors, etc? I remember adjusting the RPMs on idle was pretty simple on these, but not sure if it would make any difference?

    1993 W124 2.5 TD - Engine Cuts Out on Low RPM

    Unfortunately, we're struggling to find a decent garage, where they would have a good diesel specialist, as most seem to be clueless about diesels. Having read that thread, I don't think it's something I would want to tackle myself... So is this a common thing on W124 diesels? Anything else I...

    1993 W124 2.5 TD - Engine Cuts Out on Low RPM

    Hi guys, A friend of mine has a 1993 W124 with a 2.5 turbo diesel engine abroad (LHD vehicle). It's got a strange issue that the engine cuts out when you let off the accelerator pedal a bit too quickly - the car starts fine, both on cold and warm, also if you're gently with the throttle, then...

    Sold my W124

    Just wanted to thank everybody for your help and advice, as I've recently sold my W124 and won't be around in this forum anymore, as planning to buy a BMW. Was a pleasure being here and I've learned a lot along the way as well. Thanks again and good luck! Who knows...I might be back one day...

    W124 AMG Bodykit

    How cheap you have to be to sell a £300 body kit and not pay a few pennies to add more pictures?

    Nice AMG Wheels

    Not really...Genuine 18 mono 2s are for sale on eBay quite often and you can pick up them WITH TYRES for less than £500.

    Amazon should replace their forklifts with C63s :D

    W124 MOT Fail - Emissions?

    The readings are above, do you think it's the lambda? I checked the prices for the lambda sensor, and it's around £70 from eBay and £80 from EuroCarParts. That's Bosch, original. If I could find it for £50, I would buy it without thinking.

    W124 MOT Fail - Emissions?

    That's a good idea, but the thing is I'll have to pay the re-test fee and I wouldn't want to take it back there simply after trying a £5 fuel cleaner :doh:

    W124 MOT Fail - Emissions?

    Yes, that's exactly my type of driving. Short town trips. The engine does usually warm up to 80, but my trips are about 30 mins or less. The readings: Fast Idle Test - Fail CO Level 1.39% - max allowed 0.30 HC Level 628ppm - max allowed 200 Lambda 1.04 - max allowed 1.03 Second fast idle -...

    S Reg W124

    Looks exactly like my one, except I've got black leather and mine has black trim. Tpwuk, the build quality is as good as the German ones. The only difference is the ride height and some underneath extra shielding. Oh, all Indian ones are manual, as far as I know.

    New Beetle (2012)

    If it's good, why fix it? The 911 design in particular, since you mentioned it, is excellent classic look which means performance and style. Porsche don't make any dramatic changes to the looks, because they know it can greatly affect their sales volume, if they make something VERY unusual...

    New CLS in Designo Colours

    Mystic blue has to be the sexiest colour ever for ANY car ;) It's an awesome combination of black/blue/purple. Anyone remember that E63 in mystic blue? Oh, and the new CLS is DEFINITELY a looker :D

    I saw this Hyundai today and HONESTLY it did remind me of the new ML...Here, let's play a game "find a difference".

    2012 ml & ml63 amg

    Agreed, it looks horrible. It doesn't have that road presence as the older models. The interior might be nice, but from the outside it looks like some Korean/Japanese crap.

    W124 E220 Coupe

    That's how private dealers make their money. You think they stay in business by making 100-200 profit by selling a car? It's ridiculous how much MORE they sell a car for, compared to how much they pay for it. What's even worse is that there are people who actually buy those cars at those...
