m103

HI I have removed my M103 head following the method suggested by M B Walker i.e leaving the inlet manifold in the car. But to replace the head I cant see how the inlet manifold could be correctly torqued back without removing more of the inlet manifold like at least the fuel distributor. I have...

Hi i am just about to replace my valve cover gasket . I would think that its a job most of you guys have done on you W124 M103 engines . Only asking what type of gasket is the best one to use . I am spoiled for choice. Payen, Elring, and some i have never come across before .Any one done it...

I met a very nice chap at Prescott hill-climb yesterday with an immaculate W201 2.6 litre 4 speed auto. He has a perfect 3 litre engine he wants to fit to give the car a bit more punch (it did exceptionally well on the hill-climb driving school). He thinks it is a straight swap, I identified...

Hi All, Noticed these on eBay at a great price. I had a quick look online and think they are the correct ones for a M103 Petrol but reading down I could see diesel in the description box. 6 x BOSCH Infusing Valve Injector Valve Mercedes W201 W124 W123 W460 W116 etc | eBay Could anyone...

Hi everyone, what follows is a slightly long and rambling post, but any help would be appreciated. Ever since I've had my 190E 2.6 the throttle response hasn't been quite what you'd expect for a car of its power. The car is perfectly driveable (indeed, I've driven it over 20,000 miles in this...

My m103 2.6 has had an idle issue ever since I have owned the car, it always eventually starts but it is a bit touch and go when its really cold outside. Basically the fuel pump will prime, turn the key and it initially fires for about a second and die, cranking and cranking it will then...

Hi just going to fit this new temperature sensor.I need to know how to connect the leads on the end .Looking at the sensor ,,and the connector you can fit them on two ways .Nothing to stop you doing so .Is this right ?

Hi All, Just spent a really amusing dozen hours changing the w/pump on my 300 sel - extra oil cooler, more fun there, and another £95 for the bent pipe. Filled the header with only about five litres to the top. The thing starts and the temp is a lovely rock steady 82. Not driven it yet, no...

Hi All, After having spent many, many hours on a steep learning curve I finally dismounted the water pump, only to be faced with a 1032001452 Water Pump Drain Tube which will NOT budge. Is there a later version of this pump so that I can just cut this pesky pipe - which is not only almost...

I daily drive a 1987 300ce with just over 40k miles. Since I bought it a year ago, it's had a slight shake at idle when in drive or reverse. The revs do not fluctuate, but every second or two you get a slight shake from the engine that's felt through the body. The car also jolts when shifting...

I ma converting my 300se to megasquirt so I have nearly two sets of ke systems going spare. In the interest of being very honest one of the fuel distributors was weak on a cylinder at idle and the other I have not heard run yet. The only parts not available is a throttle body and idle valve as...

Hi All, I was looking at a review of the 300e last night before going to look at one today and I'm sure I saw a reference to a seventh plug. I forgot about it until I looked under the bonnet today and saw one - or what looked like one - on the right hand side of the engine near the...

Just purchased this new thermovalve to replace the one on my car .Would anyone have a good vacuum lay out diagram for the m103 engine. For some reason i think the old one is pluged in wrong ,ie one connection on to the pipe of the valve is off set ,other one sits upright. If i had one i can...

Good Morning, Following a moment of madness / excitement I bought a 1993 300SL at auction - "sold as seen"..... Bodywork is good, some pealing lacquer but no rust. Interior is good bar drivers seat bolster and engine runs well. Car does appear to have been looked after in a past life. Hard...
