    M120 reliability

    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...

    126 SEC with M120 V12

    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...

    W140 m120 air pump bypass

    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.

    Fan clutch spanner m104 m119 m120

    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

    M120 secondary air injection

    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...
