300te

Hi I have a 300TE H reg. Now, It's been off the road for nearly 3 years...gathering moss. I've come along to start it up again and no luck. Turns over OK but nothing. So, I replaced plugs, leads battery, cleaned it up but still no luck. However, I had the RAC out for another car and asked...

My ’88 300TE with 90,00 Km was running fine. It got quite cold here and they spread a lot of salt and gravel on the roads so I parked it at the beginning of November. Com mid December we got some nice dry days so I went to fire it up and do some errands. It was harder than usual to start, but it...

Im not sure if I have mentioned this amoung my gremlins but here goes. my 300te will start 1st time everytime from cold, but its hit and miss when its warm/hot. Sometimes it fires up, sometimes not, but i'll allways start 2nd time? The chap that services said its the ecu?--not sure...

As I have only had this old girl for a week or two its only been filled twice. The only problem is its been doing a mixture of 1-2 mile school runs and a fair bit of motorway stuff but only seems to be returning about 20 mpg:eek: Now I know its a 300 24v but I thought with the amount of...

Was sorry to see her go @140k miles: -

I have a 300TE which had a leak on the self leveling suspension hose that links from the pump to the metal pipe that runs to the axle. My local garage had a replacement pipe made up at "Pirtek"(as Mercedes don`t stock one) and fitted it to the car, however it later burst and lost all the fluid...

hi all I posted a while back with a 300te that would not start after being left to stand for a while. thankfully a friend works at allparts auto, so I got all the service gear together for £80, so I thought Id have a go. tried to start it before the service, but again flattened the battery...

A friend bought a W124 estate on my recomendation, but had to put some oil in it every weekend,He had at times spilled on the rocker cover,so very hard to pinpoint where the leak is from,went on like this for several months, finally he went on holiday leaving the car with me.,I had a good look...

The 5 speed auto gearbox on 1991 24v will only drive in first gear and speedo has stopped working.I am being advised to change the box and have looked at recons etc. 4 speed autos seem far more available than the 5 speed. Will this fit? if from a 300TE 12v. Any help or advice would be great. Steve

The DRIVESHAFT snapped on my 300TE car three weeks ago, I got one from Eurocarparts but it proved to be the wrong one. I'm still waiting for them to get a new batch in, meanwhile the car is off the road. Does anyone have any ideas who may have a recon or new one in stock? :(

Hi, I have a 1986 300TE with 169k miles, which is beginning to run a bit erratic. She starts from cold just about fine and pulls away ok, however after a minute or so she will loose most power – touch the throttle and nothing happens (no increase in revs) then power will come back on again...

I have owned this lovely old car for 8 years and the 4Matic has always worked fine until recently. MB main dealer Warwickshire had a £1200+ go at it but failed to find the problem. Possibly it is the drive shafts I'm told having had new sensors fitted as well as rewiring to the electronically...

This has got me totally confused. Over the past 9 months my 1989 w124 300te seems to run happily then gradually runs richer and richer until MPG drops to single figures. It started last year, the mpg dropped and the garage adjusted the mixture. all was well for a couple of weeks until full...

I have had my 1989 w124 300TE auto for around 9 months. Ran pretty well at first then started to use more and more fuel. Took it to a reputable local garage with extensive tuning experience they advised that the entire Bosch Fuel injection unit was U/S and needed replacing as it was "impossible...
