Servus together, I found a beautiful 140 by chance in the net – that for me with the most beautiful (w109 excepted) MB top class model at all. What to think of the car.http://www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?id=ltdaj1dovpvc called the seller and learned that it is a japan import. The vehicle was delivered in D and then went to nippon and has been back in D for a year. The technical and optical condition is supposedly good. V12 engine I have no experience at all – my father has 2 of these old models, but both with very low running power (no problem). Where are the weak points in the engines and the vehicle in general? what to think of the price? Greeting

Hello! I read a lot about the W126, (see the rear axlesthread), and I find the W126 from the USA very interesting, and have some questions about it. 1.) The 300 SDL has the same engine as the W124 E 300 turbodiesel, right? 2.) 300 SDL had a soot filter, which exhaust gas standard does it meet in Germany? 2.1) How did it work, and how was it durable? 3. The 350 SD(L) has the same engine as its successor, the W140. However, the W126 was written at least, More torque (320 nm), but less power (136 hp). How can this be explained? 4.) Can one ensure such vehicles here in Germany quite regularly? At the HUK24 in the online form the W126 diesel did not exist. (Because they were never offered here…) Thanks already in advance!

Hello guys, I would like to buy an S500 from 1995 (w140). Before doing this I wanted to ask if someone here knows about the maintenance costs. Of course it is mainly the SFK with the insurance but I wanted to have a frame to which I can orient myself. So I have a liability of 85% if this helps to continue here. And I would like to know where the real consumption of the car is located. Thank you very much for all the greetings Engin

Hello everyone! Didn’t find a similar topic in the forum (perhaps just looking bad? ), so I decided to ask myself: Are there any things you should consider when buying a w140 (especially the S350 TD)? Will now exchange the current w210 for the “monstrum” w140. Since I’m not a raster and don’t want to spend so much while refueling (without giving up the comfort) my view of the w140 diesel models is Just now I have found an S350 TD in my vicinity, which I’m going to look at shortly. And before looking at it I want to make myself smart to be prepared accordingly. So, as it is said so nicely: Long speech… My questions: – Rost (the hottest topic at w210) – what does the w140 look like? – Diseases and sufferings: What are the most important things when buying? – Motor: Which km stand is critical? – Which BJ? Which year was best? When was the MoPf? – Consumption: sow if I understand, he’s keeping himself within the limits of the diesel… isn’t he?

moin experten! actually I just wanted to read quietly after my first posting “werkstatt für w126 im bremer raum gesucht und eine befrage zum geare!” but if you let yourself into the adventure old s-class is probably more often something 🙂 how before my dream car! form, style and motor + driving feeling cause me to pinch again and again because all this is so cool! but I still have a few things! first of all the ZV annoys me something.. sor lies in the last breaths and wants to die soon because if I turn around the key it goes ..21 …22 ..plopp then the driver’s door is on however the doors in the back do not always open..or not too … sometimes that’s how I have to do it manually! and it’s like if I want to close it and then open it again 20 sec later (because I forgot something in the car) it doesn’t work ..I have to wait at least 3- 5 min. when turning around the key is like when m hard to describe 🙁 when I was at the dealer I once spyed on the other w126… because my front side of the disc is where it goes into the motor a split measure! I thought it was normal but then I saw that it is not like that with the others or it closes there flush buw that is sealed with a rubber! I made some pictures of it because it is hard to explain what I mean. so if someone has ideas always give it! thank you for your tips already a huge thank you! relaxed party evening to the starship captain from HB wishes Tim

I’d be interested to know how much Km your tanks already have on the clock. My W220 320 Cdi has already dropped 370.000 Km and the w140 350 TD has 220.000 Km I was curious if someone has a w220, which has more Km on the speedometer than I do.

Hello , have there some stupid question but I should now pay about 4200€ to MB , but have some fear with so much cash to drive the opposite , I have to pay the reperature in cash or can possibly give me an invoice and I know the money to the , Is such something possible , or yet everything can only be paid in cash , . I hope you can help me there something like I should do the best . mfg

Hello together. Maybe someone can help me with all the experts here. After I have finished my retrofit projects all (see below) I carry myself with the idea to treat myself to the perfect car in my eyes. A CL55 model year 04 (500hp, top seats and most data bus 🙂 ) it should be, gladly me light interior equipment or also Designo. In new condition and with quite complete equipment. Well there you were again my problems (I see the first With a budget of around 50k approved by the board, this is becoming a real challenge. So now I have to ask two: Who has experience with the conversion of compressor conversions to LPG. (Is it a bit more complicated due to the compressor pressure). ICOM direct indication or does the Prins VSI go there too? Are there recommended other systems ? Who knows dealers who my dream bil grade on site, or other ways / search engines that can help me there. (mobile and autoscout I have through) In the hope of numerous inscriptions… Greetings, Frank

Hello dear S class forum, after Blaubär has opened a thread about the quality of the Mercedes parts, I would like to open at this point a collection thread for quality comparison between W124 and W140. It is clear to me that the S class is more complex. Therefore, I am more interested in the processing, and above all the corrosion resistance. From 93 the sheet metal quality at MB has become bad, C classes rust like sow, E class rust something, but the W140 supposedly rusts also The comparison is therefore essentially W124 Mopf 2 vs W140 Mopf 1 What really looks like? I look forward to reports and hope for active participation! Best greeting Justus

After about € 100,000,000,000 and 8 years, the Mercedes managers have already noticed that the connection with Chrysler was a flop. I don’t know how many votes back then, without expensive consultants, have already predicted that the two companies, strategies, model pallets, market access, images etc. can never fit together and can’t be made suitable. The price was high and for the Mercedes drivers a disaster. With the money you wouldn’t have ruined your quality image so much. Many have changed the brand, because the extra price was no longer valid. No one is now being held accountable for this??? It means Germany has to pay its top people very well, I think so too, but only the top people. And if someone initially looks like TOP and gets the money in advance for it, he should also be held to account for the inherent errors of this magnitude in retrospect. hope that the blow of liberation is one and Mercedes finds back to his old virtues and reaches a level like Porsche. But catching up is always more expensive than making it right.
