    W124 Auxilary Water Circ Pump

    Hmmmm, puzzled and hope someone can shed a little light? The auxilary water circulating pump is not running, resulting in warm (ish) cabin temps! What I have found so far: I have a spare pump and the fault is there with both, pretty much eliminating the pump. Voltage checked at plug...

    W124 rear speakers in coupe??

    Hi, I have a 1991 230CE W124 with standard ice, there are no speakers in the rear, looking from the boot it looks like a pretty solid panel under the parcel shelf with no obvious place for any? Is this model setup for rear speakers and can I expect to find wiring in place? I haven't ripped...
