😂 I own three mercedes, e550 w211, and two e300 TD w210. And they all needed the center support bearing lmao. Thank God I do all work myself, it would be expensive if I didn't 😂

A lot of people don't realize that it's not that hard to work on them you just have to dive in!

[@michaelarredondo6401]

in my 83 300d my front speakers are blown, any advice on replacements? beautiful work as always

[@woodsandbarclay]

You can just do a Google search and easily find the replacements that people are using. Offhand I can't remember the Brand's I bought or the size.

[@nickcervantes658]

I thought my front speakers were bad but it turned out to be the fader switch on the shift console.

Do you have a video of you changing the Oil Cooler hoses on the W123?

[@woodsandbarclay]

I think we have a few videos showing it done on the w126 but none on the w123. However there are many resources on the internet for this. You're going to need to remove the driver side engine mount and engine shock damper and lift up the engine a few inches.

[@truefunk99]

@@woodsandbarclay Really not necessary to remove both engine mounts then? When do you know you need to change the engine shock? Or maybe the 1979 w123 didn't have one or all w123's from 1976-1985 have the engine shock?

[@woodsandbarclay]

@@truefunk99yes you can remove both engine mounts the way to test your engine shock is to remove it from the car and bench test it

[@truefunk99]

@@woodsandbarclay Okay, thanks
