Has my head gasket gone on w124 280e?

[Ian B Walker]

There are some sealants which can temporarily seal minor radiator leaks but NOTHING repeat NOTHING will cure a leaking headgasket except complete renewal. The longer you delay this repair will increase the chances of (a) the cylinder head warping (b) water getting into the engine oil and damaging the bearings.------ so not advisable to add this IMHO

Nods head in total agreement.

I need help. It won't be much longer I think when this problem will occur on my car w124 1990 300e 24.

Is there any garage, mechanic or anyone that repairs these head gasket problem near DERBY.

Thank you in advance.

Please Help.

On the 104 engines makes sure you do not overfiull the engine oil.

IT should be no more than half way between the min and max marks on the dipstick.

This is as a result of a technical service bulletin that reduced the oil capacity of this engine range from 7.5 litres to 7 litres and applies retrospectively.

Reducing the oil capacity as above cured my oil weep.

Remember with this reduced capacity you will need to keep a closer watch on your engine oil level.
