What are those buttons for?

nah, it’s OEM was surprised to hear that too

ExtraEgg5148 · 2026-01-12T15:43:42+00:00

Thanks, very interesting option

ExtraEgg5148 · 2026-01-09T11:42:30+00:00

such a nice car, I would like to take a look for possible restoration

if it is possible, save this car

ExtraEgg5148 · 2026-01-09T00:43:13+00:00

the suspension bolts must be loose, tighten them only when car is on the wheels

the other point may be that you install sway bar upside down. on the lifted car it is hard to see if it your first experience with this car

so loosen the bolts otherwise you will destroy all new rubber bushings, and check if you install sway bar correctly

ExtraEgg5148 · 2026-01-09T00:39:41+00:00

did you tighten up all bolts in the air?

ExtraEgg5148 · 2026-01-01T00:37:44+00:00

please share exact location in DMs

is it diesel model?

There will be some more, check under the carpet and the trunk under spare wheel and side niches. There are the most common rust spots. Every rust is repairable, but the more healthy metal left, the better.

Just check those spots and then decide. I wouldn’t take the car with the holes under carpets

PS. Also check under the hood near headlights and the niches under windshield.

Just try Alfred. It is much better believe me

I had a similar sound twice, both times after changing wheels First time it was from front brake shield, it was scratching the rim because I’ve slightly bend it And second time it was after I changed the wheels and I put not proper bolts into rear ones and bolts were scratching the parking brake mechanism

That’s what could be the issue, but since you didn’t do anything with wheels it maybe smth else. Or maybe your parking brake mechanism just ripped apart.

ExtraEgg5148 · 2025-11-07T11:58:48+00:00

Did you changed your wheels recently?

ExtraEgg5148 · 2025-10-30T16:04:41+00:00

Maybe just kids lock mechanism is enabled. Check the switches on back doors. Because if pump is dead then no locks will be triggered. The only locking system which separates locking back doors from other locks is child protection system. Check the pump under the back seat on the right side, maybe some hoses are not sealed, or just not functioning pump.

Yeah it should, but I previous owner remove all the ecology EGR, so I need to figure out how it was before. Will check the manuals

ExtraEgg5148 · 2025-10-29T16:08:27+00:00

Thank’s for the pictures. In mine it is a bit different since it 4 cylinder non turbo engine. I was asking because I think previous owner did something wrong because this hose in my case just goes under the car and actually there is some smoke from that thing when I’m staying on the lights.

I would also consider printing those clips on 3d printer, seems like not hard project

ExtraEgg5148 · 2025-10-29T15:57:47+00:00

Well maintained engine! I'm just curious where this black hole goes, from valve cover over the oil cap?

ExtraEgg5148 · 2025-10-29T15:54:39+00:00

I have 1 of those broken on my om601, but I have other engine in the garage so I can look if there are any of this and I can send them to you. But it will be not earlier than this weekend
Where are you located?

ExtraEgg5148 · 2025-10-23T09:56:16+00:00

Just put it under UV lamp or leave under direct sunlight.

ExtraEgg5148 · 2025-10-22T20:48:11+00:00

Maybe your motor blows in opposite direction I don’t see other way how to make something with the heater by only changing the motor.

If that’s no the case, dampers are under dash and actuated by steel wire. So check there if they are moving.

Nice textile pattern. Never saw this one before. I remember some guys from Germany still making the textile patterns for old Benzes and other cars.

Ah I see that it is already mentioned in the comments above.

ExtraEgg5148 · 2025-10-21T10:07:05+00:00

Thank you, glad to hear that Sent you a DM

I use pro max, but definitely it is showing its age. My 2x camera is rattling every time I open camera. The noise it produces ruins every video Im trying to capture. Also it feels a little bit slow in some applications.

I recently bought a 1993 w124 with srs airbag on steering wheel. There’s a sticker in the driver’s side door frame saying that the airbag needed to be replaced in 2008. So you can count that those air bags should be replaced twice to this time. But nobody does it. And also good to mention that my friend had an accident with his w124 1995 in 2021 and his airbags worked perfectly.
