If I am not mistaken, this engine has NO turbo. So having "only" 136 HP and 210 nm torque, 28 years and 371K km on it.... it performs like a charm. Old mercedes quality. Not only the engine is unbreakable, but the automatic speedgear, and all the important things on this car are eternal and reliable.

Это были настоящие Мерседесы. Не то говно, которое делают сейчас. Ездил на w124 турбодизеле. Очень динамичная машина с самой плавной работой АКПП из всего, на чем я ездил, включая новые машины. Ускорение вжимает в спинку кресла и нет ни малейших толчков вперед или назад, только обороты мотора меняются при переключении, а ускорение сохраняется идеально ровным. На холостых старый турбодизель давал небольшую вибрацию на кузов и его было слышно. Но стоило тронуться, как он будто исчезал - пропадали вибрации и звук работы и тысяч до 2,5 его не было слышно, т.е. если не гнать, то ощущение, будто едешь на электромобиле. И это было в конце 90х годов... Недавно прокатился на новом е-классе. Машина неплохая, но это не Мерседес. Ничего общего с блистательным w124.

372k km's, on a Mercedes, that's just an engine that's just 'breaking in', getting warmed up 😂

Absolutely love those old diesel Mercedes wagons!! Great video!!

In my childhood, I learned something that became be my guideline for life. I ask my Unkle, who used to have a Mercedes Benz W 100, We call that one the Horse Head model cause the front lights were positioned vertically one over the other. I ask him Question, what car brand is the best in the world? He answered:" There are two brands in the world, Mercedes Benz and everything else!" I pile some good examples proven through time. I have included my collection. 2x W124 E300D, 1994 and 1995, 2xML 500 W163 2003 and 2004, two W140 500SEL 1993, and 300 SD 1993 ,one W126 420SL,1989 with implanted 5l, V8 engine from W140, from 1993, I am immensely happy despite, some friends asking me, why I need so many Mercedeses? I answer the following way: " Some people like alcohol, some drugs, some clothes, some shoes, I like Mercedes cars and motorcycles. Es ist ein verrücktes Auto.

I had a 1991 3.0TD sedan with 108kw and later a 1995 sedan with the 3.0 100kw. Both great engines but I prefer the NA 100kw 3.0 diesel - smoother power delivery, better sound. By the way fun fact - the OM606 3.0d 100kw is the most powerful mass produced naturally aspirated diesel in terms of power per liter. Prove mo wrong.

Had one of these(W124 OM606 non turbo) over a period of six years. It was wrecked at 580 000km because of rust. I drove on the german autobahn the last summer I had it, and it had a top speed of 195 km/h with a 300TD Turbo ASD Final drive with higher gearing. Great car, solid engine.
