300te

Folks In my 30 year old 4-Matic when I am accelerating from a standstill and reach 30mph the car rocks from side to side (like a boat). You can drive through this and it stops at 40mph but will start again as you decelerate to 40 - 30mph. The 4Matic has: Zero errors codes. Been bled and...

Any clues where this has ended up ? pm or reply here!

Hello All, My 300TE is for sale on Gumtree if anyone is interested, I would like it to go to a Mercedes enthusiast: www.gumtree.com/p/mercedes-benz/mercedes-w124-300te/1228931617

Friends I had my 300te rocker cover media blasted and painted to match the bodywork. Very happy with that (at the time). The cover is made from Magnesium Alloy so when all cleaned up from the rubbery plastic coating that Mercedes use at the factory, it is very pitted. I primed it with an...

I'm planning to service my transmission at home but have two queries before I start: 1) I'm told that MB has "approved/recommended" the use of fluids listed on sheet 236.14 for gearboxes 722.3 and 4. As fluids listed on sheets 236.9 and .10 are getting scarce, the newer fluids are apparently a...

Folks Does anybody have a diagram/picture of the underbody/drivetrain grease points on W124 300te 4-Matic please? Also any pointers to any specific grease that can be used or should not be used. Thank you. Bruce

Well a good 100 mile run this afternoon with no dramas. The engine hunts badly at idle only when very hot. I am suspicious of the twin pipes on the idle control valve. I know both are split where they push into the actual valve. These have seen a previous repair with jubilee clips. I have...

Guys I need a known good 300te engine!! or a 300te Crankshaft. I have a bent crankshaft that may prove beyond repair. I also have a rebuilt 300te engine that the crankshaft came out of. I need to get the shaft straightened? Does anybody know a good company in the South East? Or: I need...

Hi Everyone. I'm hoping someone can help me with a persistant hot start problem on my 1988 300E, W124 with the M103 gas engine. I’ve had my car for about 10 years. It has 120,000 Km on it. It is a German model with the adjustable EZL-KAT resistor. The car was built in late 1987. Since I’ve had...

Folks My 124 300te cut out (stalled) today after a 1 hour motorway drive. I had pulled into the Services when it simply stalled. On re-starting, it has a top end front rattle and cuts out when you shift into D, unless you have some revs. It has clean coolant and oil with no smoke or steam...

Had a replacement automatic transmission fitted a couple of weeks back. It came back to me changing up too late with the advice to run it for a couple of hundred miles to see if it settled down. Cutting things short, it is now fairly consistently shifting up too early. To save going back to...

My beloved 124 4Matic is now entering the final stages of her complete restoration. This has been a long journey, punctuated by me getting very ill and being unable to do anything. I promised myself that if I recovered then I would see this through. The mechanical bits were all done by Andy...

Folks What colour would the plastic behind the chrome have been on my 300TE when new? It is a faded grey now. I am unsure if that is the original or if it would have been black. Either way it's need a freshen up. Any tips for reviving this please?

As above? Is it vacuum or cable operated please? Mine works occasionally but will stop when it feels like it or simply not engage. Could be a dirty switch on the stalk? But I figure if it cuts off when it should not then it is a vacuum or cable issue? Just looking for what to check please.

Interested to know if anyone has upgraded the exisitng "candles" and if so what with please? Is there any impact upon the headlamp glass at all? Thanks in advance for advice :thumb:

As per the title. Does anybody have an engine undertray for a 300te? Also looking for the tailgate molding that sits under the number plate and the full width of the tailgate. A squarish plastic molding held on by studs. People use it as a handle.

If I wanted to purchase the above - which I might - where should I start looking does the Team think? Asked my friendly Main Dealer and if he could get one the cost would be astronomic, so need another source. :confused: Cheers Mike
