- W124 Superturbodiesel and a 1952 John Deere G. Lots of old bikes too.
To cut a long story short, I bought a W210 to replace my wonderful and trusty old W124 E300D after some berk wrote it off by running into it in a car park. The reason I bought the W210 was that it was a 2 owner car, garaged and full Merc history; and I want the engine for my superturbodiesel project – so thought how bad could it be? Answer – bad, It has lasted 2 whole months - (the ol’W124 has been owned for 7 years, 170,000 miles total and has never let me down/stranded).
After driving it from cold for less than 5 mins last week the engine died. No warning lights and the local garage says no fault codes are present. The dash does not show anything. The garage have checked the fuel pipes and put a direct feed of diesel into the pump – still nothing. When the ignition key is turned there is a click under the bonnet suggesting that the fuel cutoff is working?
I have looked at the K40 relay and re-soldered most of the joints (they all looked fine anyway), after doing this is did run for 1 to 1.5 seconds then dead again.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Max
