These engines do not have a purge valve, but I gave it the car to a local specialist, he changed a relay and also removed the throttle body and cleaned it. It now holds revs but now idles at 1200rpm when in nuetral, but when put in drive it is 900rpm. He told me this is due to cleaning of the...

Where do i hear this purge valve beating/ticking..? or where do i put my ear...? lol sorry I am not that familiar with the mechanical side of this car, but will learn time.. thanks

Hi, I had removed this cover on the weekend and there was water in the last two spark plug holes nearer the windscreen, which i then blowed out and change all the plugs. Since then the car was not missing, but when the car starts cold it revs about a 1000rpm which is normal i think and then...

As soon as you turn the car on, it turns back off as it cannot hold the revs or idle, so cannot get the car to idle at all now...

I am new to this but I have been to Ace cafe before as they also hold a VDUB nights as I also own a MK2 Golf GTI.. and the environment is good and so is the car park.

Thanks guys... Where is this W124 meet...? and when, I would be delighted to bring it and show it off... haha

Thanks for that will look into it.. But the only thing that gets to me is, it was all ok before the bodyshop jet washed the engine.. so it can be water sitting somewhere but also makes me think, that it should have evaporated by now... arghh so annoying...

Guys any other tips what to look for..?

This is my W124 E280 Estate just come out the bodyshop after having the whole car stripped, straightened, and resprayed in Standox paint... Cost me but worth the money... Now I will sell my other W124 230E.. although it will be sad to see it go as its very clean and also not given me any...

I thought a vacume leak could have an effect on the idle being low. I can hear some vacume leak near the battery side but cannot locate anything... ARGHHH...! its so annoying, now that my car is A1 bodywise, its giving me mechanical problems.... Thanks anyway dude..

Hi... I have bought a E280 estate and just had the whole car totally stripped and resprayed. But unfortunately at the end, the bodyshop jet washed the engine. So the spark plugs were flooded and had water sitting on them, so i then had to blow the water out and replaced the spark plugs with...

Thanks Mate... I spent ages looking for an estate and then finally found one a week ago near Southampton... clean but a little rust on the aluminium surround so getting it replaced and the whole car a paint job....

Thanks guys for the responses, getting number 1 spring pad, does this mean the ride will have a harder impact as there would be less rubber to bounce on? is it noticeable from your experiences? Thanks

See I am having the Whole car resprayed in the same Bormite colour and having it all colour coded. I have 17" Original AMG Wheels to go on and it looks too high. Someone suggested cutting a single coil of the standard spring which would mean the same ride quality and also lowered ride.... Is...

Oh ok.... do you know what the part is called...?

Sorry guys but a bit off subject my W124 Estate looks the nuts but just looks too high, somebody told me i can remove some rubber on top of the springs which should drop it about 1". Is this right or what springs can I put in without losing the smooth ride? As from what i know the estate has...

Just a question if the cylinder is not working on a 6 cylinder car, would it struggle to pick up speed, as i went to see a car and it wud struggle to go past 70mph, and was misfiring at idle in drive.... Is this a sign of a cylinder misfiring?

I am not aware of the loom being changed, and yes there is a service history most of it being Merc....... Yes there is a little rust but am considering having the whole car proff resprayed and have it undersealed.... BUT I am more worried about the engine, he apparently told me that the car was...

1994 MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS 280 TE 5dr Auto [4] Estate I have managed to find another one and went to see it, the bodywork is above average, and the interior is also nice, but upon driving it the car was missing and the car would not pick up and was struggling to go above 70mph and the seller...

Thanks for that... I will most prob get the same done if needed. I paid about £1400.00 5 years ago for the respray on my current car, and the job is good but the wing has started bubbling up......
