Some W124 education required....

[regcheeseman]

Am now seriously looking at a retro Merc and have nearly decided on a W124 and it has to be a diesel.

I read conflicting information, and need to clear up some basic things, apologies as I'm new to the world of MB.

The multivalve 606 was never fitted with a turbo to a W124? They were all N/A ?

The turbodiesel W124 were using the earlier 12V 603 engine?

The 603 engine is not a patch on the 606, right?

Thanks for any guidance you can give.

Hi.

They never fitted turbo's to the RHD models due to the steering box being in the way.

I would pm somebody as I don't think it's suitable for the thread,
Still trying to join w124uk, I've asked for another activation email threes times now and still nothing. Yes I've checked junk and other folders.

I'm sure they will get back to you-I think it is run by a small team. It will be worth the wait.

The Finns like to fit em with large turbos , intercoolers and injection pumps- what are they like?

Any similar videos of a certain silver R107 Graeme?

Have failed to track one down so far Charles, but you never know.

Pretty much what I have planned as well, need to learn a bit first though, I know my way around a bosch pump and a fast indirect injection VW motor, these six pot merc engines are supposed to be pretty sturdy.
