Mercedes Benz S123 300TD | How To Replace The Starter

[@boanderson5057]

Had a Mercedes 240D 1975 automatic. It could be started by towing and it was stated in the manual that it could be towed perfectly. This is because the gearbox oil pump was on the cardan shaft and spun as soon as the car moved. Pumped around the oil in the gearbox and in the oil cooler.

Good job Seppo! The Panzerwagen is sounding great!

The Panzerwaden …..😂 i must remember that as a name for my VW Passat Wagon

Volvo/VW D24T starter is a great upgrade for W123 diesels, they have gear reduction so much stronger to crank and almost bolt on

Hi Seppo. I've just watched Bastarden The Promised Land set in Denmark. Two hours long and intense!!!!!!! Looking forward to your next video 👍

Mercedes clearly didn't expect the starter to be replaced on a regular basis! What a cool car. The silver and blue makes it even nicer than the green one.

Yea I think they last for pretty long those starters...

Just like your welding skills, your thumbnail editing skills are becoming second to none 👍👌😁

4:50 It could be an engine out job just for the starter motor??? That is crazy!!! ANYWAY Thank you for my new car!

[@SeasideGarage]

yea if those bolts gets rounded off... you in big trouble

[@ferguscosgrave7510]

Well done

[@KirksAudioSanctum]

7:35 Yeah, you sold the Porsche... 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂

It could be that the contacts in the flaky solenoid were just worn out, the intermittent clicking & non-starting usually mean the contacts are basically just copper dust lining the inside of the shell, with only just enough remaining that it'd barely work... :)

[@steveosshenanigans]

100%. The solenoid has been a solenoid too long !

[@SeasideGarage]

Very likely :)

[@peka4036]

....so this is more nightmare than some Citroen`s :-)

[@SeasideGarage]

XM is worse! :P

[@lesklower7281]

You mo longer have a hit and miss starter motor now a proper starter motor and an easy fix

[@20nobody20]

My dad cut a wrench in half just for the starter job on his 5 cylinder diesel benz

[@SeasideGarage]
