My dad took me to our local Benz dealer back in 1992 and bought a 230TE for our family. It died two years ago. Since a year though, it has become one of my cars and received a new gearbox, new differential, all liquids and smaller parts new, plus better brakes and suspension which has been lowered. Also using the 102 Octane fuel available here in Germany and together with a KN it runs a bit better.
that mercedes isnt a rusty car, it probably used to belong to a Mexican who like all other mexicans try to do theyre own auto body work and left it with rust color pimer since those mexicans can NEvE finish painting over auto body work they do LOL

Hello. I would like to thank you for this wonderful effort that you are making to save old cars. In my opinion, it is considered a noble act. In fact, I was hoping to work with you. I am a Mercedes car enthusiast and I love it very much and I hope that you will succeed in your work. Good job, thank you
Poor old Mercedes :( That is going to need a lot of tlc to make nice again, but if the corrosion hasn't ruined the underbody she will be worth the time and effort
Those centra batteries are quite good. I saw theme coming in a Peugeot 208 from 2015 from factory as standard. I replaced only 2 of theme so far but they were all physicaly damaged from an impact.
its a good wagon by merz ...! in 1990s we use this vehicle as mobile car , attend customers in case their car facing problem , ( all our repair tools and kid we kept it at the luggage area ) , and fail to run , ...! Now days i don see any wagon by merz , most is suv, sedan , and mpv.
mikael partti yes it is true that w124 prices have gone up in germany also. I bought my w124 6 years ago for 1300€ and today it's worth 3000€. That doesn't just count for the old Mercedes, that means for all cars in Germany. we Germans love cars, that's where the respect comes from
The 230e wagon has always been one of my favourites. Thankyou for saving it. I also saved a w123 after 15yrs stalled.

The reason that radio probably doesn*t work is because it has a security code and unless you have it you will not be able to use it, or put it in another Mercedes Benz, or any car.
Backfire can damage a rubber boot in a bottom of KE unit. Or throw away an idle hose. Also ECU seems not to be working, tacho is not working... maybe rusty fuses?
@@XPbIM3 possibly wiring is bad, my father's w124 has the same issues, engine is in perfect condition internally, gearbox is good, but all the wiring is just gone, rotten away. I wanted to take it and fix it at least up to "working and running okay" but it seems to be impossible already due to body rust and countless other problems. Maybe engine+gearbox could be swapped elsewhere...
That's a KE Jetronic. You can give it full throttle if you want. It doesn't help much but it doesn't hurt either. The gas pedal is only connected to a throttle that regulates air flow. The disc you see moving is then pulled down by the resulting vacuum the engine produces and the opening of the throttle.
@@thiemokucharczyk .... Yes I know , but it still over fuels and soaks the plugs due to the plate in the metering head being pulled down because of the increased airflow and allowing too much fuel resulting in soaked plugs ....... I work for Bosch and I have rebuilt countless metering heads over many years .
@@craigstaggs8597 not really.The amount of injected fuel is always in the correct relation to the incoming air. So if the KE Jetronic is working as intended, you can never soak your plugs.

First rule of a k jet equipped engine is dont touch the throttle when starting .
That's a KE Jetronic. You can give it full throttle if you want. It doesn't help much but it doesn't hurt either. The gas pedal is only connected to a throttle that regulates air flow. The disc you see moving is then pulled down by the resulting vacuum the engine produces and the opening of the throttle.
