    Low-dust (ceramic ?) brake pads for w124

    Thanks for that back story, @grober. Of note : this article is from 2003. The last sentence "These next generation ceramic materials provide better stopping power, reduced wear and quieter braking than the previous generation of ceramic materials they are replacing" looks hopefully into the...

    Low-dust (ceramic ?) brake pads for w124

    Here's the topic no one has ever discussed before ;) I am looking for low dust (ceramic ?) pads with UK homologation. This is for a daily c124 in 90% urban cycle (no track/race use). EBC Red Stuff are the only ones I can find over here. Sadly, reading customer testimonials on EBC page and the...

    1995 c124 E320 M104.992 Viscous Fan 'turbine' noise when accelerating

    Thanks, for that @WDB124066 . I was there on both occasions when AC was being looked at, at least during my ownership, so defo no mods to VC then. Also - as I stated earlier - the VC noise issue didn't used to be there for the first 6 months since buying the car, and appeared some time after...

    1995 c124 E320 M104.992 Viscous Fan 'turbine' noise when accelerating

    Update : Today, having started from cold, I was able to stop the fan with not much effort both during idle and whilst pulling on linkage giving it some gas. I played with it for a few minutes whilst the engine was warming up. It was definitely just freewheeling. Spinning it manually, depending...

    1995 c124 E320 M104.992 Viscous Fan 'turbine' noise when accelerating

    Thank you, @WDB124066 - very interesting leads ! I didn't think of the impact AC system might have. In my case : The AC is not working at all. It wasn't before and hasn't since I bought the car last year. I had the system pressurised during testing and it kicked in (so I'm told the compressor...

    1995 c124 E320 M104.992 Viscous Fan 'turbine' noise when accelerating

    Hello All ! Since some time now my Viscous fan clutch seems to be permanently engaged irrespective of engine temperature. When accelerating, the fan makes an awesome roar akin to a propeller plane taking off. Funny/impressive though it may be, it's also supremely annoying and I'd swear it robs...

    w124 Throttle Body needed (A0001415725 | VDO 408.226/4/1)

    03 July update : After fitting the replacement T/LLR unit the car run perfect first time. The Limp Mode went away, the throttle body reset correctly, and the revs dropped down to nominal after short time idling from cold. I made the 2.5 hrs journey from Sileck's shop in New Romney back to...

    w124 Throttle Body needed (A0001415725 | VDO 408.226/4/1)

    Thanks to all for comments and suggestions, especially @d w124 and @wu56Shoozz. For now, after some new developments today suffice to say I called off the search for another TB. It now seems most likely there's a fault in the T/LLR unit. I was lucky to have found and purchased one earlier...
