Hey there, I'm about to be a new owner of one of these cars. That said I want to know of any major common problems that these cars might have?

PS any and all discussion about that car is accepted! thanks

 

I do not know if these are common occurrences with all W124,2.5 T (diesel), but this is what mine showed.Mileage is approaching 100,000 :radiator seepage on aluminum/plastic interface,A/C refridgerant leak,antennae extend/retract u/s,rpm indicator u/s

 

RPM indicator failed after braking on engine.Mileage is 98,000.
RPM signal from the alternator reportedly reaches the indicator.
Need advise on remedial action.Thank you.

 

Stop what you are doing and just sell me that car.

 

RPM indicator repaired, by replacing relay overload.
MB part #201 540 32 45

Now #5 injector seal leaking.

 

Are you serious ?
