Hello dear forum, I’ve been the owner of a 200D from 1982 for about 2 months. I’m a relatively screwdriver and I’ve already found (with the help of this forum) possible sources of error for the behavior of my car. Typically, at cold start is an extreme run of the engine and a jerking with power drop at full load (more than 110 on the highway or uphill drive) also with warm engine. This feels strongly after that the good in these situations too little This is why my first look at the transparent fuel line before and after the small filter in the engine compartment (filters are all new). It is noticeable that there is proper air going through there, which may be pulled from the outside. My question is now: How much air in the line is “ok”? Or can not a single bubble pass through? Unfortunately, I have no comparison, what is still in order, but with me it almost “ruffles” through… Volumewise I would say 50/50 diesel/air, if you sic I have a video of the whole thing, but I don’t know how to get this loaded in. Does any of you know? Thank you in advance, Martin.

I would like to listen to a little radio in my W123. I would like to buy an old Becker Europa or Becker Mexico to listen to radio and keep the old light. At the same time, my plan is to set a small mini amplifier between radio and speakers, which can also Bluetooth and has two inputs. Once for the radio and once for Bluetooth input (OR plug to connect a jack Bluetooth module). I have already looked at various devices, but no m eight exactly what I want. KURZ: My plan is to preserve the appearance of the beautiful old Becker and not to do without the hidden Bluetooth connection of my smartphone. And no, I will not spend 2500 euros on a Retro Becker Mexico! 😉 Does anyone have experience with it?

Hello people, I was offered a /8 today. Since I don’t have much idea of the market situation yet, I wanted to ask how realistic the price is. 200.4 Gasoline year: 1974 120.000km 1st hand, checkbook complete with MB, including all invoices Zero rust Interior as new, as always already covers were used Pure summer and garage vehicle Condition Technology 1 Condition Lack 2 Condition Interior 1-2 What would be a fair price for both? Wouldn’t like to knock the old man over the ear and enter a pay fair price. Thank you!!!

Hello guys, I’m new here and I have a direct request: Since I’ve been looking for a car for a long time and I like a W123, W124 or W201, I’d like to ask you for advice. I came across this green W123 230E on my daily internet search at mobile, autoscout, ebay etc. I don’t want to ask about a model consultation, because I think I’ve informed myself extensively about the series, but much more about a purchase consultation z u this special offer: Mercedes 230E W123 I have already looked at several cars, more or less in the vicinity, and I have come across a lot of dealers and sellers and have partly had very negative experiences. With the above mentioned 230E my problem lies in the distance which unfortunately amounts to more than 600km. And since I do not want to continue to pay hundreds of (T)Euros for petrol and can and I generally lack the time to travel all of Germany on the search for a car , I want to hear your opinion before I get on my way. Maybe there is also a expert person from the area of the car who would be willing to look at the car for me (I hope I don’t do anything wrong here or violate any rules, and if so, please kindly point out (: Thank you in advance

I looked at a really nice W123 today. Only a leak on the engine makes me worry. I hung up a picture for example. Directly under the radiator hose is such a small bridge on the engine and there “stands” oil. It was still very thin liquid. Where can this come from and like “worst” is the whole. Edit. Since here many in the forum already see on pictures more than I live here the link to the car Mercedes-Benz 230 TOP STAND W 123 “230” 1977 RESTAURIERT for 8.500 € at mobile.de : https://suche.mobile.de/vehicles/details.html?id=227007388 https://suche.mobile.de/vehicles/details.html?id=227007388 I found no rust.The car was repainted in 2008.If what would have rusted I would have seen it. Is just a 230 without everything. I’m not sure if the 850€ are ok.
