    W124 500E irratic tick-over

    It was badly corroded Dist caps and rotor arms. They were covered in copper oxide (I think the seals must have gone because there was some condensation inside the caps) and rotor tips were well worn, Swapped it all out and works great now ... Thanks for all the advice

    W124 500E irratic tick-over

    To be honest it feels like both it's rather odd. Tock over drop and waivers around the 500 mark when in gear (no popping through exhaust though). When you release brake to roll or put slight pressure on throttle for movement the car has a small 'lurching' feel, like it cant make it's mind up on...

    W124 500E irratic tick-over

    Dancing Fuel Needle

    Gents, On my W124 500E I've recently started to have the fuel needle dancing quite dramatically. It's ok from full down to 1/2 & from 1/4 & below but between 1/2 & 1/4 the needle is up and down in quite quick movements. Is this the fuel sender or something more sinister. Cheers D

    Speedometer

    My speedo recently stopped working on my 1993 500E. I initially thought it was the cable and started to look into this. I bought the Inst pod removal tools and managed to get the pod out but found that there wasn't a speedo cable as such ..... is it an electronic speedo even though it has...

    W125 500E coolant temp sensor

    Gents, My temp gauge is showing a consistently low temperature (40-50C). So I plan on replacing both the thermostat and temp sensor. Could someone please confirm where the sensor is located. I've done a few searches on-line but never seem to find one for my engine. Cheers Dale Oops obviously...
