Best sound and best car! I'm a proud owner of a w124 200D 1991 with 438.000 km's in it, and it still runs like a dream. I'm also a proud owner of a w124 300D 1991 with 512.000 km's in it. It just runs, runs and runs. In my opinion, no car manufacturer delivers this quality anymore. Pity.... So, one choice remains, which is to keep these beautiful cars up and running! :-)
Dad had a W124 E 250 with doch, he placed a Dr.pepper can on the the valve cover, and revved the engine, the damn can stood almost like untouched, amazing engine! Never seen an engine more reliable that the OM605 engine. Rust, that's what kills these cars, too bad, but our had ran for 70.000+ km since '97 as taxi when we sold it further to my uncle, then it rusted up there. And the owner after that teared it apart, and happens to be my neighbour, but damn that motor runs just fine still today :)
We have used semisyntetic oil in the summer and fullsyntetic in the winter, changed oil between september-october in the fall and again in april-may. Agrol 10W-40 is great for colder winter climate but is a bit thin when warm, but if youre sloppy with engine heater the 5W-40 is way better for coldstarts. Mobile oils are also a great oil. Also you can try 5W-50, which is just about as thin as 5W-40 cold but warm thicker (10W-40). Don't run it longer than 15.000 km changes apart with fullsyntetic.
I have just bought a 1991 300td 7 seat estate which has full 300te spec leather cruise air con sunroof etc etc and i love it. Was only ment to be a stand in while one of my vans was of the road but its great so smooth and comfy and with 246,000miles on her she still runs great. I found a great website where you enter your vin number and it tells you everything about your merc its spec colour codes trim engine etc etc. Great video for a great range of cars.
@sebq998 it is the injectors, but they arent stuck, theres nothing wrong with them. thats how a mercedes diesel sounds. and camera mics pick up that noise alot worse then what it really is.
Oh and W124 is just the internal code designating that series of middle class Benz's being built from 80something to 96. The four-eyed E-class is called W210, and their successor W212. It doesn't have anything to do with the engine.
Sheesh guys. Take it slowly. OK, that 300D was naturally aspirated, a 5 cylinder engine. In the W124 it was also available as a turbo, but only in the station wagon at first. I am not 100% sure whether the TD was also made available in the sedan, but I think so. This one certainly is na and I think has 95hp. There also was a 250D, which if I am correct also was a 5cyl, and a 200D, which is a 4cyl. The 200D has 73hp.
There's nothing called the best because there's cars that are the best and the worst, Mercedes is one of a kind and there's just 'Mercedes', nuff said ;)
Try replacing the glow plugs. Look at the astonishing smooth way my 300D starts after replacing the glow plugs. The glass of water stays on the engine without falling off. You can find my video here in TH-cam by just typing my name Esepelisa and Glas Water (spelled in Dutch :-) Cheers!
der motor is noch lange nich durch son alter 300d hält ewig bei uns inna mercedes werkstatt haben wir fast nie solche teile! sind eben noch gute autos mit gutem klang
@sebq998 less miles, newer engine, or it could just be the quality of the mic for the camera....my 300D is quiet when its cold, but even quieter when its warm. and it gets even quieter when i am running it on corn oil.
@2URBO2: Ich würde auch mal Vorglühanlage und Einspritzung checken. Da laüft mein 200D bei -15° besser an. Und VOR ALLEM: Ruhiger, obwohl er zwei Zylinder weniger hat...
@AUTORECOVERYUK i dont like to put my vin on the internet..cuz it could also show if ur car was in a previous wreck or whats been bad on it..and that can lower the price.
yeah those mercs are the best cars ever for cruising , i have recently bought a Mazda RX-7 fc3s wich is at 30L/100km but insanely fast with 300HP still i enjoy the merc more

Its not noise! It's Diesel sound XD
Great engine!
Very smooth and gentle acceleration =)
We got it on almost 270.000km now
The best sound ever, the purring sound of a inline 6 diesel engine and off course it is a Mercedes-Benz!
i love the bells in the background
Love 300D, best car ever made.

E can hear perfectly the sound of the pistons shaking inside the engine... thats why I love diesel!
The best sound in the entire world!

It starts like like a 2015 common rail + 4 computers engine management!

No sound is better then a diesel knocking in the morning :D
What a lovely sound! I still miss it sometimes
W212 is the newest E-Class... (you know those commercials where the car slams through the Mercedes-Benz museum) W210 was replaced by model W211.

I guess some people just don't like to be questioned.
Very nice soud of old diesel.
Ein 300D mit 4-Gang? Der sollte doch eigentlich immer 5 Gänge haben?
2 things are sure : the universe is infinit and the mercedes diesel enigines are for live
Very clear engine !
The best or nothing !
der motor is noch lange nich durch son alter 300d hält ewig bei uns inna mercedes werkstatt haben wir fast nie solche teile! sind eben noch gute autos mit gutem klang
Sounds like a clothes dryer full of golf balls, awesome! :-D
No the W124 was a turbo Diesel. the E300 diesel of the late 90's was more powerful and NA.
pure diesel sound!
Lovethat diesel sound!
sound like one of the injectors is stuck , you should check them
هل وضع البنزين مع الديزل ينظف الطرنبة والبخاخات

Seems u haven't purge ur diesel engine for awhile...try it n those knocking sounds would be gone :)
but htis one like mine isn't quiet its exactyly teh same sound , especiallly on the begininkg of the movie.
0:17
@sweedspeed18 no, its the combustion of the diesel, run 1 of these engines on pure corn oil, and that noise will go away. its the the combustion.
This is European w124 6cylinnder 3.0 turbo or non turbo
great 6 cylinder :-)

@europe0wnz my w124 also sounds like this when its cold , but if this is normal why some w124 sounds more quiet when starting on cold?
it's an almost undestructible tank
You need to change the diode dude.
Cómo puedo comprar una reparación para un motor igual a este
I have 200D with 220000km it is not same sound. This is beter.
Where is the thermostat in this beast please?
@europe0wnz so what is it whise guy?
Agreed
@miszczolimpijski What year Caddilliac???
cos tlucze..chyba uszczelniacze zaworów?
how cold that was? it is then cold start when under -30C
@AUTORECOVERYUK i dont like to put my vin on the internet..cuz it could also show if ur car was in a previous wreck or whats been bad on it..and that can lower the price.
and again, that wasn't what i was talking about, I was talking about their slogan, not what car is the best ;)
i mast to buy tihs model W124

This noise can't be right can it?
Wrong, they came with and without turbo.
geluid van vol vertrouwen

The best or nothing

+Aprig its about 7L/100km
+Aprig thats right , it was 7L when i drove 1000km on 1 day , average speed of 190km/h . they're very reliable and great to drive
yeah those mercs are the best cars ever for cruising , i have recently bought a Mazda RX-7 fc3s wich is at 30L/100km but insanely fast with 300HP still i enjoy the merc more
needs new injectors
@sebq998 and you obviously dont know what your talking about.
Smoke Porno
You wouldn't notice any diffent sound on the engine if you drained the engine oil. I would have been very diapointed if my new car sounded like this,
Sorry to ruin your fucking day they are from the 80's
@miszczolimpijski +5 ^_^
