Remove plastic cover, and the monowiper is fastened by a total of 3nuts and 2 screws My problem was the different connections monowiper w201 Since the […]
Mounting and process of fitting an om606 engine in a w114 coupe, modifications on subframe, w124 oilpan and fabricated enginemounts
Had some vibrations from the engine that planted itself in the chassi, and when you went over a bump you could feel the lump of metal moving around in the enginebay. Didnt feel to good. Swapped both sides and its what a noticable difference in height of the engine. will do the rear gearbox mount […]
Found an old video of the time we tried the car after having fuelfilter problems, this one was in lower gears and speed, and as one can tell, there was nowhere near enough traction, it was cold tarmac, cold tires, and the air started to get a tad damp. After the first video the tires […]
Heatproblems and water in the oil, the car was doomed for the scrapyard according to the first mechanics my friend asked, since they where going to charge him around 2000€ for the work removed the head by removing al things around it following the instructions in the instruction from Mercedes , I let the exhaust […]
the 717.401 on one w123 aswell as the 717.430 in the yellow om602turbo both gave up, third gear and then loads of unhappy sounds. They have been waiting 2 years, and 1 year separately, and thought id dissemble them to both see the difference between the 717.401 getrag and the more common 717.430 Some people […]

bright sun, and not good whitebalance, tried on the 15″ hubcaps on 16″ steel rims, 7″ wide in the front 8″ wide in the back. Last picture of the vehicle in my possession, sold to someone living nearby so will probably spot it doing burnouts and drifting around corners.

the bushings came out quite easy, but to get them back in was more of a pain in the ass, a bit of silicone lubrication and they finaly popped back in. Sort of reversed order vs getting them out in the pictures above, a set of 3/4 sockets came in handy. one bolt broke […]
The Sixspeed 716 series gearbox came first in the 210 chassis as far as i know, and the can be found in different versions in The Chassis: 210 E-Class 203 C.CLASS 163 ML 209 CLK 204 C-Class 204 GLK 211 E-Class 171 SLK 172 SLK 212 E-Class 207 E-Class 639 VITO VANS 901/2/3/4 SPRINTER VANS […]
Quite obvious it isnt straight, and where the leak(s) has been. It had massive cracks almost al over it, atleast 4 large ones, but untill resurfaced/planed it wont be quiet.. — Update: Got the manifold machined at RDB DynoTuning Uddevalla, aint got no problem anylonger with sound/leaks against the engine, the manifold looked like a […]
First testdrive after buy, 0.3 bar of boost, and with right wheelbearing rear being completely loose
Bought a w116 for parts about a year ago, mostly for the 3.07 differential, drove it the 2 hours back home, had some ingenous solutions to problems. Its a pain in the ass to always swap the fuses, why not solder for a while and remove al that unnecesary trouble? not much of a […]
Ordered a set of parts for a w123, Febi Bilstein and Delphi parts a total of 10 parts. i did pay extra to get the more expensive better parts, but when i opened the package found that 6 out of 10 was of their own crappy brand STARK, i would not recommend people to buy […]
The 717.430 broke down, swapped from singlemass setup 717.430 fivespeed to dualmass setup with a 717.412 gearbox from a om605NA w124, ride quality greatly improved, no vibrations, and driveline shake
Start by getting the water and cooler of. This is very easily done by loosening the three bolts on each side of cooler-bar, by the headlights. There is also one screw in the center, down by the bumper. After this you loosen the hose going to the water coolant reserv and collect the water coming out into something. […]
Got the timing wheel installed. It’s a 60-2 wheel from Turbobandit in Sweden meant for the M103 crank pulley. I’m very pleased with this piece. It is the same thickness as and therefor replaces the balancer. It’s a pretty simple process in theory but I had some problem getting the harmonic balancer of since I […]
When I bought this car, it had a 12″ sub woofer that was sliding around in the trunk. It was always in the way and also, the sub didn’t sound to well. Turned out that the enclosure didn’t have the correct dimensions, so no wonder. Anyway, I got an idea of installing it in the […]
Standard fight to get the gearbox down, it was also a lot heavier than the fivespeed in the m64b44 swapped 535i e39 old vs new clutch Swapped gearlinkage bushings also, makes a big difference for the feel of the shifter

om606NA pumps US-spec headlights w123, w126 w115 us-spec would be nice, but not needed. complete. the headlights are to be used with separate opening at foglight to feed turbo mainly, (w123 and w126) (and if doable looking nice/stock in a w124+w201 aswell. but w123 would be nice to have custom aftermarket high-beems in the foglight […]
Removed the old differential, started with the four bolts on top, a w114 coupe has a lot better room than a regular w114 or w115, the tad longer trunk makes a huge difference in that way you dont have to fight against the back of the rear-seats with the two inner nuts/bolts. http://mbturbo.com/how-to-change-final-drive-w115/ the pictures […]
Replaced the upper timing chain cover gaskets on my 540i, see 4 and 5 below. I thought it would be a good time to replace them, since most of the other gaskets already had been replaced. Old ones were literally hard as plastic, with no rubber flexibility left in them whatsoever. They broke […]
Bought a 3.07 to put in a friends car, with what i was told a low mileage, about 250000km (low mileage to be a 300tdt w123) dont know if the oil has been neglected, started the regular cleanup, and was about to swap the sealrings/dichtrings: A0039978347 but i left it be, it will probably run […]
Starting the Volvo Viking with the D67 engine worked good, but after about 30 seconds, the idle started to rise, slow but steady until it peaked out at max rpm. Turned out the Injection pump diaphragm was broken (some kind of leather) Ordered a new one from ebay and swapped out, worked perfectly The pump […]

Swapped the enginemount on the cars right side, the engine transplanted vibrations to the car when decelerating/enginebraking at about 50-60mph, not a nasty sound, but not something that should exist in a w140 The hardest part was to get the top 17mm bolt loose, one at the bottom was broken of (darn rust) but the […]
