Starting Mercedes-Benz w123 240D After 14 Years + Test Drive

1982 Mercedes-Benz 240D 2.4D 53kw

[@CommodoreCaravan1981]

great vid, flexiny, as always. you've done a great job on this old Merc. i love to see, how you get such veterans fixed an running again. i was smilin' at the moment you spend this 240D 2 "new" flashers, the Merc-star on the trunk-lid and the fuses. after the pressure-washing it looks so majestic like a good old pal you can depend on. what i like the most in your vids: concentration on the work, no chatter, no unnecessary clickbait, only needful information. stay as you are =).

[@peterlonter9053]

especially no dazzling electronics

[@adriansdarick2345]

These are the kind of videos that I enjoy watching. I've always known that the W123 is an indistructible car. No matter how much rust and dirt they have. They will always start working. I got a 1984 200 gasoline engine it's a W123 as well and I consider it the best car ever made.

[@Zaggybear]

You are absolutley right. If you want a good quality, reliable Oldtimer, go for a W123, W116, W126 or something like that!

[@GedoSenkai]

At first glance you can say this car has a soul. All modern cars look the same, this is because we are getting to 'cars by subscription' business model where you do not own your car but car company owns you.

[@adriansdarick2345]

@@GedoSenkai You're right. Nowadays all the cars look the same. Even a Mercedes looks too similar to a Hyundai. We're in a decade where design and luxury doesn't matter. As long as it has a screen with lots of apps the car automatically becomes precious to people. Everything has become commercial. I bet you that with one door of a W123 you could make the hood of a Hyundai or Toyota.

[@stevenvilardi8626]

One of the best cars ever but rust wins often and there is no chassis on the car. without the plug in heater an old 240D is hard to start when under forty degrees out. Vacuum is a pain often. I like the part with the torch.

Echt krass zu sehen wie robust diese Autos gebaut worden sind. Bei ca. 43 Jahren und 14 Jahre standzeit mit paar handgriffen wieder zum laufen zu bringen ist echt erstaunlich. Kann mir garnicht vorstellen dass die heutigen Autos in 40 Jahren noch laufen werden

[@DieKiwi006]

Früher hieß es auch noch Markenqualität, da hast du für so ein Auto auch ordentlich sparen müssen bis du dir eins Leisten kontest.

[@sowas65]

This car was build in 1982 in this beautyfull color and interieur. In combination with that "Fuchs" wheels an absolutly beauty, a little used perhaps. :)

I grew up in Kaliningrad (not so far from you, man). These 123 diesels were everywhere - taxi, your neighbour's car, whatever. Engine still sounds like from my sweet childhood. Excellent job!

[@user-bz6iu7un5y]

Привет землякам 🤝 я сам из Калининграда и состоял в клубе фанатов w123 у меня был такой же желток с мотором 2,4 дизель на автомате , одна из любимых машин , я кайфовал от неё

Bit more work to get this engine going but you succeeded, You are one of the best KZbinrs getting old engines going, and the vehicles driving again as well. Keep up the great video's.

[@Gennadij1986]

Классно. Помню как мы в 2019 году, еще до ковида и войны ездили на такой машине из Калининграда в Гданьск и обратно, как польские пограничники удивлялись при пересечении границы, что машина в идеальном была состоянии с 1983 года выпуска)

Great find again. Even after being robbed of parts to save another old Benz, it comes back to life again. And just look at that paint and chrome still ok. This is from a time when the W123's made us think that the Germans were the best engineers. Sadly, not the case today. 👍💯🇬🇧😉
