So Having done various tests, I decided to replace fuel filter even though it's not very old, as I was thinking that the laying up over winter might have gained moisture in tank. So I changed out the filter yesterday and low and behold the fuel/moisture/dirty fuel was black in colour, so now I...

I was always concerned about the amount of oil my W124 230ce consumed, so I looked at the owners manual and lo and behold it said 1 litre per 1000km:eek: O.K. the car is 28years young but it's even scarier to see what some of the modern engines are doing.

Any ideas on what unit would work on a M102 engine, w124 and W201.:thumb:

Hey Folks, So I found this bunch of tests from another source, I tried the test below and got no reading so I'm wondering is my ecu bust. If anyone would like to perform the below test and post their readings I would be much obliged. I can find and post the link if required. I have ordered...

:thumb: check, a blue connector normally goes there I think.

Thanks for that info, I have the use of a laptop, need to check what version Windows. Again not being too computer savvy can you dumb down proper serial port.:thumb:

Thanks Richard, I know, I worry about the age of the insulation as I know it has gone hard in some places especially where it sits on the rocker cover.

Does this mean my 190e with m102 engine is a culprit as the label has 1987 as a year on it. This is a puzzler as I was all the time concerned about my w124 coupe with m102 engine but had read that the m102 engine wasn't affected my loom issues:dk:

Sorry to hijack, I am looking for a diagnostic unit to read codes on my W201 and W124 chassis. I think that the round plug is called x/11. Is there anything out there other that the blinking light units I've seen.

Yes Murphy is a b&&&&x:crazy:

No harm to get the paste and robed the hall unit. I took off the throttle body and air meter system as I tried cranking this morning and got back fire but no start. Checked plugs using the above strobe and was getting spark:dk: Going to clean up all the items and figure out if I can bench...

Thanks, yes KE system , so no CPS. Brand new leads, so strobe is out I think. I have several tech manuals from Bosch KE, so thanks, I probably have it. Unless you can confirm as to weather or not it has a troubleshooting section it's probably the one I have and will need to look thru it.:crazy:

Thanks, I had replaced the 2 pole sender last year or it could be longer, the only one that looks dodgey to me as it has burn marks on it is the thermo vac one but it is also a year or so old. I have read that the thermo vac one does bugger all any way:dk: I ideally would like to know a...

:dk:ok folks, so she eventually fires after lots of cranking from cold with foot to the floor. I leave to idle until she gets to operating temperature as I want to tweek idle enrichment screw, but just as she gets to temp she cuts out and wont fire until its cold again.:wallbash: What should I...

Bought 2 filters today from the stealers 17 euro including discount. They have purflux stamped on them.
