m120

Always fancied taking the ultimate plunge on a V12 but never came close to having enough guts to pull the trigger. I've read the various threads on the forum but still can't get a real grasp on how ruinous they could be to run. On the one hand I've done the Harry Metcalf video to death in...

Not the first, but lots of detail. Zonda tuning anyone? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F0VtYDYe6cQ

Cylinder misfire on M120 engine (SL70) Hi all, There was some misfiring detected in 2 or 3 of the cylinders in my car. According to the dealer, it would require about 32 manhours to remove cylinder heads to check (so some £5,000). Other option is to run some miles on it to see if...

From a 1996 s600, 190k miles but VERY well maintained by an MB enthusiast known to me who owned it from 90k miles. Have the service books and will be included. Sensible offers only please.

Hi everyone, Long shot but someone here might be able to help. Have a 1999 SL600 with the M120 engine. Engine is absolutely as smooth as silk apart from one problem...when you start it from cold there is a slight rough noise to the engine....which gets louder with engine speed and then as you...

To me this is a cool conversion: Used 1987 Mercedes-Benz SEC Series SEC for sale in Essex | Pistonheads V12 power in an older 126 is very appealing. Hopefully a properly executed conversion. Shame the seller doesn't list what the remaining required work. Add a proper AMG steering wheel, AMG...

Having had the cats removed from my w140, it would seem to make sense to also bypass the air pump, which is now even more pointless than before, and just sitting there waiting to seize up and ruin my day. EPC has 2 V belts listed for the m120.982 engine, one 2585mm and the other 2523mm, so I...

Has anybody here heard of this rare AMG M120 E60 version? Is supposed to have 450 PS and 610 Nm. Seems to be the export version for the Far East of this 324 kW/441 PS and 600 Nm version. See picture. And more in the article. ISSUU - AMG CNM 01/2005 by Werbeagentur Frank Bode GmbH Page 28 and up.

Not the usual fare for this section, but a very useful special tool for an irritating job. As MB special tools are usually crazy expensive, this seems like a bargain at £6.25 inc delivery. Not original MB but should do the job. Bergen 65mm Fan Clutch Hub Spanner, for MERCEDES AT174 | eBay

Can anyone let me know the oil spec for the m120 engine (Plain vanilla 6L version) I don't have an owners manual and I'm curious whether it needs 229.1 or 229.3

I've just had a star diagnostic on my W140 and the only fault code (After chnaging one of the coil packs) was for "secondary air injection - left" . I don't have any warning lights on the dash, or any other indication of a problem. All the other posts I've seen on the subject have been for...
