Hello dear community, my name is Bernd I own a W123 240D and am new here in the forum, I have recently a problem. If the engine is cold, even at summer temperatures, the engine has hardly any power, as soon as it gets warm, so about 60 degrees, it runs completely normal and has the full power, while it does not jerk, runs calmly and does not smoke, also it starts in the cold worse, in the warm condition everything is great. last trip to the mountains. Maybe one of you has experienced this before or an idea what that can be. Thanks already ??

Hello together, I don’t have an H license plate yet and wanted to ask why I didn’t get an environmental badge at my 123er 230E. In field 14.1 he is keyed with 0405 – which suggests that he doesn’t get one. Today at noon I saw a 230E bj. 1981 at a vintage car meeting. – green badge ?! Can someone say something? Thank you!

Hello and good evening, I’m interested in a 123er but it has a lip at the front is also the engine room should be called the mud flights (inside) are black and not in car color. It is a switch. Engine runs smoothly. Color is appearance bronze. From the outside it looks ok. E-window lift at the back and front. E-sliding roof. Year of construction should be 1976 but maybe not true, I find out another time. The 4 eyes face consists of each square and a round eye. On the other Se ite too. Somehow this lip doesn’t fit anywhere at the front. What should I consider? Would also like to have a 123 and hope for you. Thanks already. Sorry for the cryptic way of expression, I just wrote from memory.

good tomorrow! in advance: I was not sure if this topic belongs to the oldtimer or nfz forum (it is about an nfz-oldtimer)… and now to the problem: my daimler l508d (t2/model 309/”tanne/düsseldorfer”, motor om314, bj. 1976, ~300,000km) has fever. normally the coolant temperature is around 83°c (thermostat opening temperature), whether summer winter uphill below load/loaded or empty. for some time the temperature has risen to 90° (also relatively constant, no matter what operating condition, and no matter whether heating heat exchangers on or on), and the cooler has remained cold below. I then tried to narrow down the source of errors piece by piece: I changed thermostat and temperature encoders for new parts (doesn’t cost much), then the water pump tested (runs), the cooler decalcified/washed (even all good)…it all didn’t work out and I was pretty perplexed. at the end of the week I then got the nigelnagelneue thermostat once removed and see there: suddenly neat flow in the cooler, which was also warm down again as it heard, also the net was evenly warm – temperature overall of course not higher than ~50-60°c. then I drilled n few holes into the thermostat and made it again installed, car warmed up and a proper test: I live directly on the legendary Krähberg in the rear odenwald (some maybe from moped riding or the mountain race a term). uf the table laid” and my car with full gas chased up the mountain. temperature at ~75°c (so almost normal temperature), then descended naturally to ~50-60°c. what do you think is the problem? why does a new thermostat obviously not open? I have to drive next week with trailer after eating (total distance approx. 700km), pick up a ton of coal, would you do that in the condition? for the car it is actually “no big thing”: empty weight currently 3.5t + 1t charge ung = 4,5 t total weight. and the car is designed for 5t + 3,5t at the hook (total weight 8.5t). many thanks already for your answer, matha

Hello dear ones, I’m looking for a nice Mercedes w123. I’m still relatively inexperienced in what the screwing of vehicles is about, but I’ve been a little bit busy by buying a 190 which I’m still driving. Now I want to go one step further and fulfill my absolute childhood dream of w123. I want to use this mainly as a nice weather car, as well as a Sunday car and therefore not move it often and for a long time. In my search I’m on dre i Ads pushed that I think are good and would like to contact the seller for a viewing. https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/…/2334793784-216-4619 https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/…/2367441323-216-2085 https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/…/2369242777-216-1389 Before I wanted to ask you again what you think of the ads and what you might notice negative/positively, which I might overlook as a w123 newcomer. I would like to know about your remarks. and thank you very much in advance. Jan
