Hi guys, I hit today and added a new project from AT. The good w115 is from Austria and BJ 1968. A bit of what to do at 46 years. I’m now about the full acceptance that I have to do. BZW. I want to do the H acceptance right away. Today I can’t ask any more at the Tüv, maybe someone knows that anyway. I have 1 km to the KÜS. here with us, so to get there I drag Him if necessary. Only I still have Austrian documents. What do I do now? Because I don’t want to allow because I would then first get 800 Euro tax off! Who knows himself from there? Thank you, Mfg Ingo

Moin dear community, I woke up my Emil (W123 with OM 617) from hibernation this weekend. Of course he wintered in the garage with battery maintenance equipment for the battery. Tank is brimming full. He only jumped after the second start attempt and then ran terribly unevenly until he was out of the garage. Feeled not all cylinders ran. After that he ran in the standing gas after about 10 seconds round. I could not make longer trips (bold season marks…), wanted a Is this probably just the spark plug or a spark plug plug? Or can there be any “greater” threat? Perhaps an information about the car: W123 300 D, BJ 1980, km stand about 16,000 original. For hints (or only calming down 😉 ) I am grateful. Many greetings

Hello all, I found a 230 CE which I really like. The car has 232,000 km is a petrol with manual transmission. The car is first approved in 1985, it has an H-approval and gets according to the advertisement new TÜV at the purchase. The front right has a bit rust. The purchase price is: 5,990 What are so things I should pay attention to if I look at the vehicle? For this is a good offer and will he possibly have problems?

Hi community, I’m Thomas, I’m 35 years old and have been driving a 240D built in 1981 for 5 years. I decided to install another motoer in the car. It’s supposed to be the M110 with 185 hp… Actually thought of buying a butcher to be able to implement the whole thing as easily as possible, quasi plug and play, … in a butcher would be all the necessary parts (electronics, gears, gears, gears, cardan shaft, diff etc.) already. However, it is designed Now my question: Are the 280ger engines from the other series of these years identical and would a motor of the S-Class easily fit into the w123? So at least engine + gearbox? I would have to have a cardan shaft shortened then, and a Diff could certainly be found even where. Greetings Thomas

I would like to install a 5 gear transmission in the W 123 240D Bj 1984. That should then the engine speed at 140 in 5 gear should be slightly lower than now? Is this possible at all? Too bad that the H-approval or can you just let the old gear lever for the 4 gear drive in so that the TÜV inspector doesn’t notice that. Who has a tip here?

So people, started last Friday at 19 o’clock in Berlin, arrived after 566KM in 5.5 hours with a consumption of determined 9,93L. The last 200KM wanted to arrive like the driver. The box ran to Tacho 150. Today it went back. Here there were numerous climbs, which did not exist in the other direction. Sometimes there were no more than 100 in it. Consumption today: 8,84L. Everything is great. But it’s loud:-) And: The people let one survive. And: The 4th course is effective h elastic. I’m thrilled 🙂

Hello, Mr. Wash recently costs the 10W 40 oil just as much as the 15W 40 oil when changing oil. Why is that so nobody could explain to me but they wanted to convince me to take the better oil at the same price because of cleaning effect etc. I once learned that one does not change the oil class in old cars because the additives can dissolve deposits and similar in the engine and then the engine starts to clap? What is right? Change to the better oil or continue driving 15W 40? I drive a 200 petrol Bj 1983 with approx. 190,000 kilometers. Thanks for your tips!

Hello guys, I have a question. I would like to install an airride in my Mercedes W114. Chassis of HighestLow and air production and air management of Accuair. (Endo CVT tank and e-level) is the current plan If the chassis itself has a part inspection, I need one for the rest? (in case of doubt individual acceptance) Second question regarding H-marks.. I have already seen some W115/W114 showing oldtimer with airride and H-marks. Has someone had experiences or has relations with the nice gentlemen of TÜV. (best of all South-East Germany/Low Bavaria) Thank you Jonas

Hello, I have asked in a workshop, the old cars (mostly MB) restored, for the estimated costs for a (complete) painting of my W202. The answer seemed quite high to me (would not want to blow out the exact span at first). They told me especially Metallic varnishes are more expensive. First of all: Yes, it would be wise to have an offer made by a paintmaker. Unfortunately, my car is currently not so 100% traffic-proof, so I don’t want to drive around unnecessarily. Especially because I almost assume that I will answer prices that will end my “project” finally. So:1) What would be appropriate in my case?Color: BRILLANTSILBER – METALLICLACK (744U)Quality: so good that the average person perceives it as a normal painting and does not identify it as a bad quality – but it doesn’t have to be absolutely perfect (hope you understand how I mean that).2) Have you had your oldtimer painted already and what it cost? Interestingly: Which color / how long is the cost?
