Can this 29-year-old Mercedes be saved from the scrap yard?

[@morgansteele3158]

The genius of this channel is that you actually feel like your his mate just there chatting about interesting cars just found it and im hooked

[@barnabywild2215]

I checked the MOT history on this car ... makes for scary reading. I've had a few 190e versions - a common thing to fail is the fuel pump and OVP relays. I bought a 1.8 W201 that wouldn't start without cranking for about a minute, wouldn't tick over, kept stalling, etc. Otherwise immaculate. Seller let it go for next to nought. £40's worth of Chinese made relays turned it into an awesome daily runner.

[@krissi66x]

Having a great political and cultural interest in the futre of work/art, I'm delighted to be subscribed and square eyed on here!! BRAVO

[@grahamwalker6395]

A thing to be wary of, Mercedes used a biodegradable insulation on the wiring (I believe) and it has a tendency to crumble with age. The worst location is under the cover over the plugs due to heat. I had an E280 and had to have the entire loom replaced. Also there is a way to open the bonnet to vertical for easier access on W124 models. Good luck with bringing the car back to life.

[@michaeljose8122]

It is indeed a weak speed - but luckily it’s more of a problem for the six cylinder engines than the four cylinder engine here.

[@NotEconomicallyViable]

So I spoke to one of the previous owners yesterday who told me that he had the wiring loom replaced a few years ago, so hopefully that problem should be solved already. Will certainly save me a few quid and a load of effort!

[@grahamwalker6395]

@@NotEconomicallyViable that's great news and it's certainly saved you a few pennies!

[@MultiRay67]

Yes i had the same on a 95 c280

[@piotrjedrzejczak3865]

I had the exact same model, was also randomly stalling - the culprit was a silver relay located behind the battery. It was damaged by water, a very common issue on these, check it and make sure to seal it if it is not damaged yet. Unfortunately I had an accident and had to total the car - missed it ever since. Best of luck!

[@nicholaswatson3896]

A friend of mine owned the 1st 300CE 24 in the UK. He ordered it direct from Mercedes whilst playing in Germany on the European PGA Tour. It was love at first sight for me. He got a big discount, so he ticked just about every option. I love the way the B pillar drops when both windows are opened and how that gives way to the seat mounted seat belts. I could never grow tired of the way the belt comes out on it's little arm.

Love the 124s. I follow number 27 on YT and he has one. A great help to him had been a great woman called Frau benz who's well worth looking up. Total merc guru and has a wealth of spares

Thanks for that, bud, will look her up 👍🏻

[@Badger66]

You're on to winner there Nino..... don't let this one beat you... you won't regret it.... I think that would lead me to look at the fuel system as think the clicking is the fuel pump relay!!

[@NotEconomicallyViable]

Yeah I think she's a winner. I'll take a look at the fuel system and see what I can see 👍🏻

[@andrewkiwi1]

Im a mechanic in NZ. I used to work on the W124s and this is one of the later ones. The motors are good but i remember we replaced a lot of airflow meters on them. They are mounted on the air intake hose just behind the air filter box. They also need fuel pumps when they get old as the resistance gets high in the fuel pump and they stop working. The best thing to do is spend the money and get it scanned at a merc shop. Another thought i had is One of the merc trans's has a sensor plate in the trans sandwiched above the valve body with a round plug that goes through the the side of the trans. If the ecu doesn't get a signal from the sensor plate to show the motors running it stops and shuts off the relay for the fuel pump. Its designed to stop the fuel pump running if you leave ign on without the motor running. If you need to buy one get the three "O" rings that fit the plug as they can leak if they are disturbed.

I think a lot of people know why the mirrors are like that. The path length from the eye to the mirror is different for the passenger side & the driver's side, because you don't sit in the center of the car, therefore the dimension of the mirror would need to be different each side to get the desired viewed area.

[@Matthew-m6c2p]

Your mercedes merck is cherry red colour it could do with a good wash then the colour may come back or the car may need re spraying work needs doing on it but you could do it in your garden in your commercial marquee with your bright commercial lights put up on stands once they are plugged in then at least you can work on all of your project cars out of the rain and out of the wind and out of the cloudy weather and out of the fog at least you can put your cars on the commercial ramps and you can start working on your project cars in the dry at least you can close the marquee doors

Hi Nino. Glad you eventually bought the car you have lusted over for a long time. The stuff in the boot was a fantastic bonus. I am looking forward to the Project. Try not to fit too many "Knock off" parts as they "WILL" bite back. See you in the next one. Take care. 👍👍

[@NotEconomicallyViable]

Cheers, Norman. That's the only cheap part from eBay I plan to buy for this car. I only bought it because the OVP was only replaced recently and I'm not convinced it's broken again.

[@igosurg]

Mine is a 1992 220ce .. engine would cut out … checked air intake plastics , ovp and even the ecu .. turned out to be the crankshaft position sensor … after that worked great … hope you fix it !!! Cheers

Your color looks to be Almadine red

[@nickmatthiesen6766]

hey nino good video love the good old 124s. I've been driving 124 as an everyday car for 18 years now. from my experience the first thing you need to check is your insulation on the wiring in the engine compartment remove the black cover with the star on then you can see the wire. and behind your battery / black cover where you should be able to see your part number and year on the wiring if it's from 1993 then it should probably have a new one. number 2 check throttle body for wiring harness they are famous for breaking after all those years. number 3 replace your maf you can scan for the code with an OBD1 Diagnostic code reader for Cars with the 8 or 16 Port number 4 check your ovp relay it helps to control the idle in your 124

[@joelpalmer]

Color is Cabernet and a good paint correction might bring it back. Ours came up brilliant and much darker. Good luck and will watch your work

[@DennisVrolijk]

Love your video's man. Absolute binge watch material. I'm driving around in a 30 year old Volvo 240 wagon that i try to keep on the road myself. Had to lauch when you diagnosed the faulty relay, told everyone a moment later you're not a 'real mechanic' when it comes to diagnosing car issues, and then find a work order in the boot that states replacement of exactly that faulty relay because of engine issues 😂

[@willswheels283]

A great find Nino, it would have been a great shame to scrap it, Mercedes definately do rust, but I think the older ones were just made with better steel, the later C and E classes were very rust prone. I love the 190 and the later E class with the Oval lights and 3.2 Diesel engine. Good luck with the car mate, look forwards to your progress.

[@oscarsavage9801]

Yes something retro that looks awesome, I daily drive a 1988 Nissan Bluebird and it's been a kind of rolling project. Older cars are definitely less complex and all the work I've done has been with my Haynes manual about 100 pounds worth of tools and on the side of the road. Definitely be careful though of siezed bolts and for some reason my nissan has lots of Philips and flat head screws which strip so easily. If you come across lots of 'normal screws' I would definitely invest in the Halfords advanced impact driver set which is only 15 pounds and has saved me many times. Good luck with the resto and I look forward to these videos.

[@NotEconomicallyViable]

Love that. Roadside repairs are where it's at - great effort 💪🏼

[@plamenpetkov7132]

A common problem with relays of that age is cracked solder joints on the relay PCB (due to mechanical vibration each time the relay is energized). It makes sense to suck the old solder and refresh the solder joints

[@jonathanphillips3257]

Awesome love the retro vibe that the W124 offers when Mercedes were built to last mechanically. Your enthusiasm and genuine excitement with this car is a joy to watch keep it up 😉 There are some good pointers tp follow up on in the comments attached. Water ingress is another area to keep an eye out for, especially with electrical items tucked away in less than ideal positions.

[@NotEconomicallyViable]

I don't know, but I'm not complaining haha

[@paulchambers3788]

Might be worth testing the alternator voltage, regulator may have failed and putting out higher voltage and damaging the battery and/or sensors?

[@NotEconomicallyViable]

Cheers bud, will give that a go 👍🏻

[@hbhmhbhm]

Re the great interior condition, I think it has been garaged for most of its life so the UV rays haven't baked the leather etc. Also the needles on the instruments are still their proper colour when they would normally be faded to yellow or even white. Good luck with the car I had an estate and it was great!

[@dr.leftfield9566]

The colour is called Almandine Red.

[@stoatrepublic]

The reason for the mirrors been different will become apparent on the Motorway rear view one for distance, they work really well.

[@billyray4729]

C124 is great , worth saving . Think the colour is Titanite? Your C124 is also one of the mid life ones with a later 220 engine (bit better mileage and performance than the 230) but the first era grill with the hood ornament on the grill not like the later ones with it in the bonnet. Many were converted to bonnet so nice you have the original set up. I think its quite good having one of these in between models best of both worlds so to speak. Air con and a roof is unusual in a 220 also ! Good luck

Nice project mate... Love W123/124 Mercs, last of the 'proper' Mercedes . I used to cab a 123 back in the 80's when my colleagues were cabbing cortinas and hunters etc. They used to ask "how can you afford to cab a Merc". Well Six trouble free years later I asked them "how could you afford not to? 😃😃 Looking forward to this one... My only concern though is the rust underneath.(I've seen the mot history) Get that dealt with first and it will last another 30 years... Cheers...

[@NotEconomicallyViable]

Ahh I love that. I read recently that German cabbies used W124s almost exclusively - 200d mainly. I'll be getting her up on axle stands and checking out underneath, so hopefully it's not too bad 👍🏻

[@rustybucket9165]

Just came across your channel and I can translate the German for you. As for the car cover, water and weatheringproof, anti UV and seals properly, it says it protects against rain, snow, impact of solar rays, dirt and dust. Nice car, don't like the rims :-) O yeah, the colour: almondred metallic.

[@4RingsRetro]

The mirrors being different shapes and sizes is to do with helping with visibility on the opposite side you're sitting on. Helps you see the length of the vehicle. Opposite side for LHD because you need to see more of the right hand side of the car. Same as on the VW T4.

[@petticlone]

I think the reason for the smaller mirror to be smaller was aerodynamics, at least that was the story when the W201 (190) was introduced IIRC

[@EssexSilvering]

I would be checking the fuel pump or some kind of petrol starvation. A relay going nuts so something is causing a short somewhere. Most people don't think of the fuel pumps yet they are the main fuel supply! .... Noisy fuel pump on a old car is the sign of it going! My Granada Ghia X was doing the same as your Merc, turned out to be the fuel pump. .... It's worth checking anyway ;-)

[@NotEconomicallyViable]

Cheers for that, Dave. Will check out the fuel pump and also see if I can find any shorts 👍🏻

[@steveh1122]

Love the enthusiasm

[@michaeljose8122]

I think you’ve got a diamond in the rough there. I’d wager the front wings have been replaced already and that’s one of the key rust issues for this model; the rust on the rear arch looks doable and the paint looks like will come up good with some treatment. One area to keep an eye on is rust on the jacking points as they’re covered and the plastic cladding can hide a number of sins. A great choice of car when you get it back n the road.

The noise in the engine bay is the throttle recalibration after the battery has been disconnected. And I did have 2 of the w124. 300e m103 and 300d om603 and the 300d I think was the best model. You got yourself an awesome car Sir (lol as you now ride around in the w124 platform). Am also looking for one. Wow. Am longing for any w124 non runner but good chasis. I ran the 300d on veggie oil before the veggie oil tax. For over 30,000miles. Bruv very nice find. Bolt on turbo kit for the m111. M111k conrods and pistons to lower compression and get speeduino ecu and boost away. Diff options, 722.6 with Olef tcu, and you roast audis and bmw all day.

[@Mudster250]

If it's had 2 new batteries and an over voltage relay, I would check the charging system. Could be the voltage regulator allowing over charging.

[@NotEconomicallyViable]

Great shout - I'll give that a go 👍🏻

[@amykitching1438]

yes try the OVP common to the 190e also. Should have a fuse in the top and may have a fuel pump relay also. good luck with the project. my advice dont change too many things at once or u end up not really knowing what the fix was! 👍

[@SimonWallwork]

You're doing a nice job with your channel- and soon you will own many tools! Your trouble may be an air leak. Check all hoses under the bonnet to do with crank fume rebreathing etc- not water pipes.

Check OVP relay. It’s located behind battery under a black plastic cover. Hope you get it fixed 👍🏻

[@evertpronk2713]

Check the air intake system and the sensors or take them off and bypass the sensor and check or replace the fuel filters might solve alot and make diagnose alot easier.

[@NotEconomicallyViable]

Nice one, will give that a go 👍🏻

[@johncallaghan4616]

Was not expecting THAT ! Like a kid in a sweet shop (just look back at the way you tore the contents of the very tidy (and valuable) boot! You seem absolutely thrilled with your new purchase, Nino, and I am similarly thrilled for you! You would be surprised how well that paint is going to come up after a proper deep soak and a machine polish - you might also think about acid cleaning the rims, and you would be surprised what a tin of Kiwi Shoe polish and some leather cream will do for the interior, but all that can come after she starts purring for a continuous period. Tend to agree with you on the overvolt relay as the start point - personally I would have taken that ECU cover off and had a good mooch round in that area as/when she cuts out, as it could be something as simple as a loose connector or a bad earth - that said, if 60 quid does solve the problem it's money well spent, so can't fault you on wanting to get things moving. Really looking forward to subsequent vids on this, and so happy that you share the passion and principle to keep the 'aul Girl rolling Keep 'em comin' JCHK

Cheers, John! I'm very smitten with this purchase. A proper machine polish is definitely on the cards - as soon as I work out how best to do it. Lots of watching KZbin for that. It's definitely going to be interesting working out what's wrong with her. First time I'll be stepping into electronics, so I'm glad she's not one of these modern computers-on-wheels.

[@josephjohnstone7667]

Adore these cars! I nearly bought a e200 a few years ago in purple with a cream interior. I still remember the smell of the leather! Such a lovely place to be 😁 Also, check the Idle air control valve. I'm guessing this car has one but it's not a guarantee 😂

[@NotEconomicallyViable]

Yeah they're cracking cars - cannot wait to get it on the road properly.

[@habsom1406]

I'd check the OVP Over Voltage Protection relay which resided behind the plastic cowling to the back of the battery. I think they're about £70 from the dealer, usually has a fuse located on top. You stated there was a lot of clicking in that area? I've always wanted a 300CE, but currently have a 2.6 190e. Also corrosion wise, check the jacking points behind the plastic side skirts. .......Oh you've just mentioned the OVP whilst I'm typing.

Just pop the center caps off, by loosening the center nut. It should reveal a bbs engraving and a number like "RS001" for example. If there isn't any sign of a popular manufacturer the wheels are not worth saving as you said. If they are legit 3 piece RS BBS Wheels, then you can swap the worn and pitted lips for some brand new polished ones and the rims are definitely worth saving.

[@Mike_Costello]

The OVP relays can come with different pin connectors so make sure you get the correct one. Other things that go wrong with them is the solders break in one that is old and you can open them up with some work and resolder the board inside. Use your phone or a good light and magnifying glass or a clear zoomed in photo and you can often see cracked solder joints which can be a simple and cheap fix. Also replace the voltage regulator in the alternator (5 minute job) and you've solved two common idle and engine issues for cheap and easy. At least you remove them from being future problems and off the table. Also try and by OEM or you'll be chasing problems for all your days.
