Beautiful job!! Kept me entertained for 18 minutes. These instrument clusters are quite beautiful! I look forward to changing the bulbs in my 115, but likely nothing much beyond that, at least for now. I rented a brand-new BMW -a 20, and as they were getting my car ready I was looking forward to a long trip looking at the iconic BMW speedometer and tach. Well, my car had a new all-digital display-green and grey and orange, with indistinct blobular sections for speedo and tach. After about 20 hours in that car I could not stand looking at the display any more. By contrast, I find the modest simplicity in the Mercedes gages very easy on the eye. Truly timeless. I loved your video. You’ve got a great talent.

Thank you very very much David👍😊 ! Nice story. I agree, new cars might be safe and comfortable, but they have no soul. For me it's very satisfying and relaxing to work on my classics. Greetings //Peter

I have to change the temp gage on my w108 also. Does the instrument panel connect the same way to the Dash or is there differens with the w114?

What's the difference between the w114 and the w115 temp Guage?reason I'm asking is cause I'm busy with a friend's car which is a 1973 w115 230.4 and the fuel and temp Guage just stopped working
@Pexyz2 жыл бұрын
Hi Jarrod, thanks for your question. The big difference is that the later version of temp gauge is electric (as seen in my vid #31) and the older isn't. I hope it turned out okay for you 👍 //Peter

Akchewally . . . Not _quite_ right Mr P: I have a W114 and it has the electric temp gauge. It’s a 1974 model and, therefore a Series 2. I dunno about earlier W114s. I changed my Speedo dial from kpm to mph. The car came from Australia. I was lucky to be able to buy another instrument binnacle from someone who had erm, ‘quite a lot’ of spares - a shed full! I’m amazed that the entire binnacle is just a push fit, held in place by a wide elastic band round the edge. But, being M-B, it works 😊. Another nice vid, by the way, Mr P. 👍

@@Pexyz It's purely mechanical. They have a sealed capillary tube and bulb assembly that is filled with temperature sensitive liquid that produces a proportional vapor pressure inside the tube. As the temperature changes, the pressure inside the tube changes, which in turn moves the pointer on the gauge.
