m104

Just a quickie: My 300ce-24 has a catalyst. Cold start excellent and smooth, as always. It has some hesitation problems when warm so I checked again the duty cycle, fully warmed up. Ignition on, engine off - 50% solid. Ignition on, engine idling - 50% +/- 4 or 5%. - settles back to this...

My 1996 E280T has had an erratic oil pressure gauge since I bought it, and it could be a number of things, but I guess the sensor is a good place to start.. Unfortunately, new ones are about 10% of the value of the car! Does anyone have a used one that works please?

Hello All. What would be the sparkplugs of choice for my engine. Has anybody got an opinion. Also, how often should remove them for cleaning/re gapping, if that is neccessary. Any advice would be helpful and, I am just trying to know more about my w124. Thanks Mercedeslover.:thumb: ps; Air...

Hi chaps, help needed for '96 S124 E280 Estate. Symptoms: misfire on acceleration, (engine spits back then picks up), idle stumbles momentarily then recovers. Car has new loom, new coils, new coil extenders/connectors, new water temp sensor, new air temp sensor, new Bosch Maf. I have read the...

Hi all, I've just bought a '95 W124 E280 and I'm very pleased with it considering it only cost £620. The car has cruise but it doesn't work properly. It will engage, then hunt all over the place, then knock itself off. I've had a look at the throttle linkage and given that a bit of grease...

I have a problem on one of the E36's. Bare in mind the engine is very similar to the e320 so any help would be much appriciated. When driving at around 80mph, if you give it full throttle and kickdown, the car will go down the 3rd. The revs rise from 3000 to 3700rpm, when the gear is engaged...

Having recently changed the water pump and viscous coupling on my car I now find that my car sits at around 90c when driving and creeps up on idle and with the aircon on the temp rises even higher. I have now also started to get a distinctive burning smell on occassions now as well. Prior to...

My 300TE has an oil leak, there are always two spots of oil wherever I park it, and the tray underneath the engine is black with oil. I had a look through the service receipts and on one of the invoices for a service from an independent garage, dated 2001, the mechanic has written 'advisory -...

I have started to experience a problem :( with my 1994 E280 Estate (approx 90,000 miles) which I hope someone can kindly throw some light upon. When starting the car from cold, the car settles and ticks over around 650/700rpm - possibly a little low - but still nice and smooth. As the car...

Can anyone please help me as I’m starting to get really feed up with my car and I’m not far off giving up and getting rid. It’s a 300ce-24 with a M104 engine. It has always had a misfire, which started 10 minutes into driving. This would be at tick over but would come and go. The car would...

Chaps I have recently aquired a 1994 C280 I6 M104. It has a problem: Car starts fine, idles fine when cold. When engine starts to warm it goes lumpy, rough and if driven surges. It will rev freely and once above about 1000rpm is sweet but when accelerator pedal is released the revs drop...

Ive been looking into the hesitation on my coupe some more, and it seems to stall at around 3800rpm, which is when the 2nd cam kicks in. The hesitation lasts around 1 sec, and thereafter it performs correctly. What could the cause of this be? Cam timing? Cam position sensor? Or am I...

As above I need a section of loom for the coilpacks if anyone has it. I am quite happy to take a full engine harness - but it must be 100% spot on. Mine looked perfect right up to the point where it entered the engine inside the rubber insulation. I have the part number for the coil ends...

Don't know if someone has posted this info on the M104 engine before but here you go. Here is info on all Mercedes engines. Enjoy! Regards, KJ

Currently have a 300SL-24 that I have not used for 3 weeks or so. Car is low mileage and drives beautifully....having just used the car this weekend the oil pressure gauge in the dash is behaving oddly...Rather than sitting a 3 where it normally does, its sitting at 2 when driving and will...

Anyone can suggest me, where can i find turbo kits for my SL280 R129 using engine M104 inline-6 cylinder :bannana:

POLL: Wiring harness issues, W124 M104 etc Just wondering if anyone has had the issue of the bio-degradable loom breaking down on any W202s here in the UK? I was discussing this with somebody earlier, and although I have seen that a few early M104 engined C280s have had issues in the US, I...

Ive got a engine that was destined for a twin turbo conversion. Ive since bought a e36 and wont be turbo charging. Hence the engine is for sale. It had covered 90,000 miles. The head has been removed and the bottom end was stripped, to have new conrods installed, Ill put the bottom end back...

Popped the rocker cover off the engine im selling and found this.... close up of the cam lobes To me, this looks to be in very good condition, I couldnt see any wear on the lobes at all and the head has a very light gold colour. 2 questions - would you guess that this is a recent...
