Hello everybody,
I'm new in the forum but already got alot info. I actually had two problems which were not be able to be solved for a year and half since I bought my -2 years searched- MB. But a new one appears now :
I have 1991 w124 300 TD (diesel-estate). Few weeks ago the preheater lamp started not to light while waiting to heat up. Instead it lights after engine starts and a few minutes of engine run it turns off. Nothing else as abnormal during drive. The starting was still very good cold / hot : -as was usual- at a single touch & release.
The service electrically checked the heaters via connection box located right of engine and found out number 3 is out of order. Well, replaced by an original MB part, preheater light came back to normal (turn on the key wait for 2-8 seconds depending on the eng. temp, and lamb turns off then start). Test was OK at service.
But,
Engine doesn't start up as easy as such any more in cold. I either have to make that "touch and release the key" start for 3-4 times (each after lamb turns off) or keep the key touched in the first for 3-4 seconds until it starts.
I went back to the service. They checked the heaters again but found nothing wrong. But the problem is regularly going on.
Could any body comment on this ?
Kind Regards
