Mercedes E-Class 1991-Review of the owner

Greetings to all Meroists and other car enthusiasts! Here is my story, how I got to the Mercedes.
I was looking for a suitable car in the fall of 2009, the first car. Everyone advised the first Russian car, they say you will gain experience, you will grate it, but I know myself how I was born with a wheel in my hands. He examined the Russian auto industry, but besides the Lada, to be honest, and specifically a penny, I never liked anything, and I did not feel comfortable in the wretches, I always rested my head against the roof, so the vases fell away immediately. I decided to choose a foreign car. I am not critical to the location of the steering wheel. Of the Japanese, Mark2, Chaser, Cefiro, Laurel, Crown always liked, but could not pick up anything under the existing budget, all the machines were from 160 thousand and higher. Japanese women also fell off, niche did not find a suitable for the budget and to taste at the same time. Licked out on the E1 Volva suitcases, but then somehow the desire to work on the SF somehow disappeared. Among the BMW, I found no sensible one. And then a comrade prompted me to the Mercedes of E-Class. The first car on the brows was 123 white, under a snowdrift. The owner barely launched it. Well, the body is of course the norms for the car 82, but the filling required serious attention and repair. I made a circle on the parking lot on it and said goodbye to 123m.
Then they looked at 124, went already to Alapaevsk, they contemplated a terrible bucket, with rotten wings, without protecting the crankcase, under the hood of the devil: the whimft knows how it works, there is no fan’s impeller, there is no air pipe to the radiator, the engine is terribly bouncing the hood, the hood is jumping, Cracks like a diesel (although gasoline), a muffler from a field, a rusty nightmare, smokes black smoke. They concluded that half of the cylinders do not work there and went away back to the ECB.
Then a good option came across, black, tinted, 2.6l, but painfully the salon was killed and the side is crumpled around the perimeter. In the furnace. So I leaf through, leaf through E1 and see it. Pearch blue, outwardly all the norms, only the lid of the trunk requires repainting. That same evening I met with the owner, swept, examined, liked everything. On the one again, they looked at him with a comrade in the daylight and decided to take it. On the same day, I became the owner of the German car.
Everything in the car is done wisely. Salon is in good condition. Only the driver’s side is rubbed on the side (the disease of all 124x). I immediately liked the work of the suspension, very soft, I liked the landing (quite high) so on the curb or slide without problems. The engine pulls perfectly, like a steam locomotive, in 2 gear can be dispersed to 90 kmch. Corrosion only in problem areas in the body: rear wheels, thresholds. The car was very reliable.In this class, I have not met a car that could be compared with 124m.
There were breakdowns, and will always have any car, the only question is, what is the resource of parts. As it turned out, in the local service center of UD on Raevsky 13, this car is known how peeled and my first visit was when the engine began to shake slightly. At first they did not believe me, because as they told me they looked after the car, everything changed during everything! Still, both former owners repaired it only in the UD. I bought it, by the way from my son. They made the engine and everything went. For some reason, the speedometer consumption was 20 liters, although there should be 15l. In the service, everyone checked 20 times and did not find the reason. The reason became clear in a year. There was a speedometer from an old gearbox. I recognized this when I got into the Mercedes Club of the Urals. There he met the former owner who knows everything about this car. So he told me about the speedometer. I took him a speedometer from my gearbox and rearranged. The consumption is now correct. Restored real mileage. He is already under 500 thousand. I will list everything that I did in 1.5 years.
1. The overall filter Champion – 500 rub. I changed it myself.
2. Bosch fuel nozzles are black – 6000r per 6 pusher. (The nozzles departed 120 thousand instead of 60 thousand, half the nozzles simply poured and did not spray. The regular flushing of the fuel system extended their life doubled). The nozzles changed in the UD service.
3. Lambda -zond Bosch – 1500 rub. They changed along with nozzles along the way.
After replacing the nozzles and installing the new lambda, the engine operation became very flat.
4. Fund right bearing SWAG – 700 rub. I changed it in the service, very good.
5. The right right bearing Febi is 1000 rubles. The factory stood. More than 400 thousand km
6. Febi -shaped brake discs – 1000 rubles. I changed it myself.
7. The front pads+front zimmermann – 1600 rub. I changed it in the service, inexpensive.
8. The elevated upper levers (2 on each side) Febi + Integral Salen blocks (1 on each side) Lemferder – 3600 rub. Changed with a friend.
9. Salet blocks of the Kulisa manual transmission original – 500r per pair and also replaced the broken glass of springs (ordered from the office for 200r). I changed everything myself.
10. I changed the spring of the main clutch cylinder (as it turned out, Vazovskaya stood and over time broke into 6 parts) cost free of charge, gave the original old cylinder. I changed it myself.
11. When pulling out of the snowdrift, the rear left lantern was broken, so I had to buy for 600r on the announcement, the original.
12. Follow the extreme bushings of the stabilizer original – about 500r + 400r work in the service. He did not climb well, one bolt became unusable.
13. The shank of the rear gearbox is the original – 500r. Changed in the service, inexpensively, about 500 rubles.
14. The new Beru Z7 6 pushek – 480 rub. Naturally himself.
15. The generator repair (loomed the battery light, although charging was normal). Diode bridge 1700r, primary NSK 700R bearing, secondary bearing SWAG-ruble 250-300R, brush-100p, contact group (copper rings) rubles 300 like. I changed everything myself.
16. The New Winer Bosch – 700 rub.
17. Gur on the announcement with the original sign of the accident for 2500r.
With the gur, it’s generally “lucky”.First, Gur's pulley broke off. The car was once in an accident and a spar hit the GUR, the shaft was apparently cracked. Yes, and before leaving south. Thank you very much to Vanya, former Jose, gave Gur from the donor for use. The gur was buzzing, but completely worker. This makes me happy. With a buzzing gur to the sl.
Upon arrival, another gur began to look, pretty tired of this howl. Found for 2500r. Everything became normal. In winter, the GUR return pipe broke, immediately replaced, cost 50 rubles. And already in April this year, he heard a slight buzz. He looked into the tank, and there is almost no oil. I urgently added, drove to the house, I look under the hood, the high -pressure hose is flowing. Well, what do you want, the hose of 24 years and he is from the donor. He took off the hose, gave it to repairs, for 1000r was pressed out with a new hose, steep. But the GUR still buzzes slightly ((((alas, I could see the air. Right now I will think what to do, or again to look for a gur or this to disassemble and polish the camera.
18. Two fuel pump, 3800 rubles each, Pierberg. Stood Bosch buzzing and pierberg old. So Bosha decided to replace, replaced. Suddenly, the old Pirburg jammed, as it turned out, he was 5 years old. I ordered another Pirburg. These are the things.
The day after tomorrow I’ll replace the front right ball, began to creak. I ordered Lemferder for 700 rubles.
In principle, consumables were mainly changed, nothing serious except Gur, because A very tedious activity, shoot and put a gur.
I would like to paint the trunk, only finances do not allow. The plans to order steep covers (I saw in our club one Merusovod, with such, with Merciful embroidery) 5 thousand and headrests.
The hatch bugs a little, you need to disassemble lubricate. An unsuccessful mechanism for all 124x. Fixed already on the bespectacles.
The complete set is the simplest, 2.6 on the mechanics is cool, no electric package, but the hatch.
Yes, there would be his garage, more earnings, Yab brought to ideal. But so far. Slowly.
Motor oil is always a semi -synthetics 10.40. There was a zhor of oil (tired piston rings and masl -mullet caps). The oil pressure has always been 1.2-1.5. Now, on the advice of one good person, a mobile has flooded synthetics 10.60. The upper index is very pleased, the oil on the hot is more thick than 10.40. The fuel and energy oil has fallen, the mileage of 1500 km after replacement, the level is just below the maximum. The oil pressure is 1.5-2 points, it happens 2.2. In general, the oil had just been.
In winter, after replacing nozzles, I always started it normally. Until -25 I do not put on warming up. I am getting stronger myself. Below -25 I put on heating at the temperature of the engine (-20).
I conducted a small modification of the fog so that you could only turn on them when driving during the day, it is very convenient.
Mercedes pleases every day. I am passing in principle everywhere, the landing is high, rubber 1956515. If stuck, I got out myself. Possessing this car, you need to be a little cement, because It's just that there is nothing in Mercedes when the repair is squinting.
In general, I am very pleased. The mileage is already almost 500 thousand. The engine pulls when necessary – flies!
In principle, my whole story about my 124m! The next car, if there is, then only a Mercedes, most likely 140 or 126.
I wish everyone neither a nail, nor a rod, nor a breakdown in the way! 🙂
