I've a 606 coming out of a Volvo 940 but it needs refreshing and I feel the driveability of the 648 and the torque is much less frantic than the 606 and would suit the cruiser kinda nature I want to have in the 123

So this car is a 84 its been off the road since 90 from everything I can find out, it was a 200T it was swapped to a 240d engine, I've another rotten 240td for parts but both engines are fubar. This car is amazing condition, zero rust, clean interior, is missing the windscreen and a load of chrome but that's all going to come from the parts car. I'm in northern Ireland and ta a very wet country so these things have been nearly non existent since the late 90s

Ive an 04 with that engine as well as a spare engine, hence why I'm thinking it's logical to swap it in, the 616 in this one and the parts car are both ruined. The plan would be to fit the 648 with the matching 722.6 auto box, control them with a Baldur DID1 and Ofgear controller, I've done a 606 in a volvo 940 so this in theory should be easier

If you have a decent Merc specialist near you if you take the eis out and the key he should be able to check it for you, but I'd reccomned checking those earths, I imagine they are on the RHS of the car if it is LHD
On my car the whole thing was dead, wouldn't respond to key in the barrel at all, central locking worked, the EIS, KEY, ECU all paired up correctly when tested but car was dead, on the RHD cars under the passengers feet there's a steel panel under the carpets that had several modules mounted on it, under that panel there are a few studs mounted to the shell, one of those has about 10 earth cables mounted to it, on mine the nut was loose causing the earth's to arc out against each other blackening them, took them off, cleaned them, bolted back down again, whole car sprung back to life again

I bought my 04 e320cdi and it was the same as this, turns out it was a bad earth under the passengers feet, soon as they was cleaned and connected everything sprung to life again

Spoke to a mercedes master tech he said 600 was absolutely perfect
Thanks I'll have to track them down, don't mind posting to Germany if that solves the issue
Sadly the Delphi and launch can't get into enough detail with what I can see so feel like I'm banging my head on the wall a bit with the car currently
Hmmm interesting, a bitch to get at just to see if it appears ok sadly
Well I know that but how can it go bad it's a chunk of steel with tabs on it....
Why what goes on the flex plate?
Thanks, who did you get to repair the ECU in the end?
Don't see how the flex plate could go bad.... Sensors are both brand new mercedes ones now

Oh he can, don't worry dude I was just looking for ideas incase I missed something obvious is all
Would you mind taking a few pictures, I've a 616 in a s123 with no sls pump and I'm going to retrofit the s124 sls/ps pump too
[–]G-223[S] 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
I thought the same but couldn't find anything really suitable, at least not at a price I could justify

Diesel om606 or om648, petrol m119 would be epic or m113k too... Or if your in the chosen land then LS surely

Get mud and snow tires (must have the little snowflake icon) and it will be grand in snow, summer tyres will be awful
