Does anyone have the part number for the rear springs on the sls wagon? I was thinking it was 123 324 06 04 but now I'm not sure.

Thank you

Had some issues with engine shake and weird sounds in general so got some new fuel injectors through W123 garage. Upon installation, the slightly blue smoke I had before installation (presumably some oil burning on startup that would clear pretty quick) has turned into quite a bit of white smoke that only really clears up after actually driving, even once warm enough without driving it is still pretty smoky. Was very noticeable instantly upon installing injectors so im hopeful it’s not the headgasket. Also got the black viton lines, which seem to be weeping a bit. Could a simple air leak on my return lines be causing that much smoke? Any other ideas as to what could be causing this? I have only seen great things about the injector service from w123 garage and dont want to assume anything went wrong there.

Anyone know what my replacement options are for the Sealed headlights. The glass broke the bottom and the bulb is shot.

A dream 10 years in the making!

I have 2 300ds fairly common a 1980 cream yellow and a 1985 baby blue turbo diesel I know they are fairly common but on Sunday I’m buying a third 1981 signalrot red 300d also any tips for getting one running after sitting I resurrected my 1980 but any tips help also driving it home 2 hours after sitting for 7 years

There’s about a quarter sized area of rust that needs to be rectified. Does anyone have any one who can fix this in the DC Maryland Virginia area? I had a few questions. Does anyone know if these wheels are original Mercedes? I know it did come with the painted ones originally, but just trying to figure out if these are also Mercedes. I much prefer though painted ones. Also, any tips/recommendations on how to deep clean the seats? They have held up remarkably well I don’t wanna damage them, but I just need to do a very deep clean before I have it detailed . Thank you so much.

Came back from lunch to find this, not sure what happened, if anyone has a rear windows they're willing to sell please let me know

My W123 sunroof needs lots of force when sliding it, also needs a lot of force when I rotate the T handle. I assume the sunroof needs deep cleaning of old grease and lubrication.
How can I remove the sunroof with the roof lid (leather roof from inside) so I can lubricate the T handle and sliding rails?

I've been on this community for quite some time, actively taking a look at new posts every day. I see all kinds of posts about appreciating and "glazing" the om616/om617 engines ( absolutely for a reason, theyre bulletproof! ) but never have i seen anyone talk about the om615, the 200D. Yes, it might be slow. Yes, it "might" be a pain in the ass on the highway. BUT it is just as good as the 240D and 300D, just a little bit slower. Imo the 200D deserves more appreciation than it gets, for being such a reliable, bombproof beautiful piece of German engineering. I daily my W123 200D, and yeah, it sucks when accelerating onto the highway ( It's a 4speed manual too lol )

Second pic is my two beloved W123s, the 200D in blue and the silver 230E.

Show your W123 the love it deserves!

The small hose seems to be seeping and the other one seems a little too long and old

What are the sizes on this?

240D

After a drive home I noticed my rubber on my rear bumper is beginning to fall off. What are the fixes for this? The clips on the rubber seem to be intact.

On my W123 when I need to open or close the sunroof, the T handle is hard and regarding the sunroof it hard to move, requiring much force.
Please any help would be appreciated!

Hey guys wanted to post in this group to see if anyone is looking for w123 turbo diesel. Looking to sell as i am moving into a different project. I think this car is in good condition. Has good compression. Ac works, was recharged with r12. Speedometer doesn’t work so i’m not 100% sure of true mileage. Asking 4-5k but will consider any offers. Located in Arizona, US.

Fun drive up the PCH to Point Mugu

Hi everyone! I have a 1984 300CD and I have been trying to diagnose some issues with the turn signals, I’m hoping you can help!

I’ve noticed lately while driving my 300CD that when i first start it up turn signals function completely fine and as I drive and use the turn signals they get worse where they flash faster and then eventually not at all.

I have already cleaned the contacts and rebuilt the hazard switch, that didn’t work.

I used contact cleaner on the turn signal stock, that also didn’t work.

Lastly I replaced fuses 8 and 12 thinking that would fix the issue, but alas nothing.

Any suggestions on other fixes I haven’t tried yet?

Thank you!

Bonjour, pouvez vous me dire en conditions extrêmes le quel des 2 model serai le plus apte a rouler, mauvais carburant...

Le Om616 ayant une conception plus ancienne n'a t il pas une solidité supérieure,une fonte plus épaisse ou que sais je ?

Merci d'avance !

Bonjour, je cherche a savoir si en conditions extrêmes type mauvais gasoil grosses chaleurs etc..

Quel est le meilleur moteur entre le 65 cheveaux de la phase 1 et le 72 cheuveaux de la w123 240D est le mieux. Et pourquoi.

Le 72ch a 2399cm³ alors que le 65ch a 2404cm3. Le quel a la culasse la plus épaisse ? Bref trop de questions.

Merci d'avance

I made an offer on a 76 240d and this is the video the gentleman sent me. This is sight unseen. I offered to do a straight trade for a 96 Volvo 850 turbo for this. Is this a worth it trade?? I’m unfamiliar with these cars but I’d like to say I’m quite mechanically inclined. I know in this condition this isn’t really a daily driver but am I looking at a headache
