My W124 has done 75000 kms and runs maginificently, except only one problem I have been having :
- When Im driving on an incline down/slanting road and when I need to brake and press the clutch, the engine dies with in seconds of pressing the clutch.
- When im driving on a plain road or even an uphill, I dont have anmy engine stalling when i do the same action of pressing the clutch while I need to brake.
- When going down the incline,if I put the gear to neutral and cruise down, the engine doesnt stall even if i press the clutch.
Can any one provide me a diagnosis for this problem and a possible solution, I will deeply appreciate.
Thanks...Ram

Welcome to you . Only thing i can think of is a vacumm leak .Check all the small pipes you can find in the engine . And the little rubber conectors that join them to other parts of the system. Do you have the economy gauge in the speedo .If so what is it reading at tick over. Next check all earth points and clean them up with emery paper,add a little grease before re fitting them. Then turn all the fuses in their holders . Then let us know if it gets any better .
