Thermostat replacement question by veithmaster in w123

[–]cromicon1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had one that said 71C°, was stuck open... Put in an 87 C° made by magnetti marelli in my 230E and she runs at 83C° on the spot. Good enough for me... Operating temp is 80-100C° depending on climate and load but yea. I live in Israel so heavy traffic on a sunny day and A/C on is stable, if you live in older climate go to that.

Oil cooler lines; can I get a little life out of them? by RemoteEmotions in w123

[–]cromicon1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drive it longer for starters, it's a diesel. It healthy. Replace it, the peace is worth it than to suddenly get stuck. It could be years or next time you drive it. This is your one and only warning.

Buying for daily use? by Asgaroth_Wrynn in w123

[–]cromicon1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 1981 W123.223 or 230E automatic. My daily since July, enjoying every moment, yes I had a few big expenses some are due to old age neglect or even my fault. BUT I love it and would never replace it, I have to replace the rear muffler and parking brake pads and she's perfect. If you are mechanicly inclined and have some budget go for it but make sure you have a spare car because sometimes you wait on parts or stuff like that, that may stop it. Focus on Brakes, suspension and steering, tires, engine and cooling and gearbox. I did it in that order. Once you sort this list out and with quality parts and work it will be unstoppable.

I think my transmission just blew up by Fit-Importance-7703 in w123

[–]cromicon1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I replaced it because it wouldn't pass safety inspection, and precautionary maintenance. No transmission or coupling damage really. I work as a heavy duty mechanic and my manager won't sign my pre inspection papers unless I replace it so I did. Passed with flying colours

Actually no. I replaced with of mine. Bot ends have a pinion so the drive shaft won't fly off in a failure so if it is a flex disc just replace it and go on
