230te

Hi, Kwik Fit tried to adjust my front tracking rods but were unable to due to them being seized. Is it a big/expensive job to fix? The car does pull a little to the right which isn't ideal but is it dangerous? cheers

Hi, My W124 230TE has developed a squeaking/screeching sound when I go around corners. Any ideas what the issue maybe? cheers

Hi all, I had a problem with my car for a few weeks now, I wonder if I can get some help. About a month ago the car started refusing to start, turn over ok, just not firing, when it did, it ran perfectly. Took it to a garage, Bosch fuel injection specialists. They used diagnostics and...

Hi, My 1991 230TE has just started misfiring. It shakes and judders and loses power. This only seems to happen when the engine warms up though. I took it to a local garage and they changed the spark plugs which did improve it slightly but the problem still persists. Has anyone got any...

Hi, My brake warning light has just started coming on. It does go off if I brake to a stop but then goes on again. I have read up that this is due to low brake fluid. Is it usual to have to top up brake fluid or does this mean that there is a leak? cheers Matt

Hi everybody, Can anyone recommend a good quality aftermarket catalytic converter for my 1992 230te as the old one has broken up and is rattling around? Thanks.

I bought this car in the beginning of August, from an owner that had the car for 17 years, and mainly used it for trips abroad, and driving to the train station. The car has a full service history. Before I bought it, in the last 2 years, the car has had a new radiator, front wishbones, a new...

I fitted a new battery to my 124 230TE today and now the central locking is not working properly. I took the battery off and then decided to do a few other small jobs before fitting the new battery, so the car was without the battery for perhaps an hour. The drivers door locks with the key...

PistonHeads Headlines - SOTW: Mercedes 230TE

Good day t'all. The gauge is always dipping under 80, and unless in traffic remains there, so I've ordered a new thermo. I have searched the forum for advice on refitting, I have only found tidbits, do I need to empty the coolant before I do this, (don't fancy doing that). Much appreciated...

I switched the lights on, and then the wipers, had my brother watch from the front. One side is working the other not, Are they just jammed, need to gove them a good seeing too. Or does it mean a fuse relay. thanks

Ok I spent the weekend taking friends around England, a la road trip. What I noticed were two things, when the car has been driven for a while and then go into a stop/start situation in town, When i switch the car off, start it again, and put it into drive it jerks into gear. When in reverse...

I bought my motor about a month ago now, I've been attempting to do some of the maintenance work myself, indeed with the advice of Mr Haynes. I'm onto the charcoal canister now. What does this do and is it worth replacing? I was at Merc Temple Fortune yesterday, where they kindly went over my...

Hello, I have just become the owner of a 1985 230TE. I have a key to the ignition and one to the tailgate, but nothing for the passenger and drivers door! :crazy: Can anyone suggest a reasonably priced source? Cheers Peter

A few weeks ago I bought a white 230TE estate. It's tatty, the body needs some attention, though it is mechanically sound. About a fortnight ago, my brother offered me his power wash machine, so I set about cleaning the car, under the arches etc.. when woomph! the power jet water went through...

Good evening all. This is my first post here and I'm seeking a bit of advice. I have a 1992 W124 230te which I have had for about 6 months. It's a lovely ride but has always had a buzzing noise in the boot which I assume is the fuel pump. I took it on a run today and drove 60 miles...
