529K is barely run in for a 124 diesel :D

I just bought a 95. non turbo wirh 196K, and the initial owner replaced wiring harness, vacuum pump, and water pump. The best thing is zero rust. I also have a 87 turbo wirh 384K. The rust is just starting to happen in small spots. Not stoplight racers off the line. Even so, I will never part with my two W124s. I love these cars!

Perfect cold start!

it was nice to see a real coldstart and i thank you for that:)

I just bought a 95 with 196K. It had new wire harness put on when I bought it from the guy. I also have a 87 turbo diesel with 384K. I love both my W124s!

Great car - one of the best Mercedes ever produced. Since your car has a mechanical injection pump, it can help to depress and release the accelarator right before starting the engine and, in a cold start situations like this, gently accelerate the engine to a 1000 rpm so that it will come to a normal idle soon. Many miles to come...

Almost broken in! Probably best car Mercedes ever built......

best car ever

Wowww great Benz what a machine 🙌

that's an awesome car

in my previous comment i ranted on about glowplugs and injectors,but i was wrong! You have a very nice engine on your hands!!! please take care of it!!!

legend car

Good start! Nice car with the engine of my dreams :-) Love those 4valve diesels! Not Bavarian I might add 😇 And unless the US models differ from the German ones...you don't need to cycle the key. It will glow 60sec no matter what the glow light tells (when working the light only like recommends the needed time). Wishing you good times with your beauty!

Nikola Begonja The OM606 came in 1993...and as far as I know the OM603 did not yet have the slits on the side in the non-turbo-version. Interesting though why a 1995 model would not have the E300 signature?

nice bro. I got the same car with nearly 300k Miles on mine

Hell yeah !

I love evrything MADE in GERMANY..

Runs a little rough,i had the sam problem with mine,it smoked alot when cold started and ran like crap for few secounds and than it was fine,turned out it was glowplugs,after i changed them car starts like and idles like a dream.

The Best car ewer..my got 1 250 000km and still works and its fast 2.5 td

i love 124,from idm malaysia. i love england.😊

как же здорово что мой Мерседес живет на парковке😅😅

German engineering #1❤🇩🇪

A quick diesel purge might actually smooth out the cold start idle. Mine had the same problem and the purge fixed it.

That's a Merzedes. Not those newer chinese pieces of horse shit.

Change your glowplugs and it'll fire on all cylinders.

Beau char mon esti

Pełne poparcie dla marki.

W124 diesel 👌 👍 😉 😘 😍 😍 😍

I read that cold starting an old diesel car ''takes'' off like 2000km from the engine. Its just really bad making the pistons work when so cold, they actually ''scratch'' the surfice around them while doing so. Is it true?

Nie grzeją wszystkie świece. Wymień i nie będziesz musiał grzać 4 razy, tylko raz podgrzejesz i będzie palić nawet przy -24

that car can fucking start in mars

Good … i have one 300 td with 500.000 km .. is very Good

Fix the rust!

I'm planing to buy myself this car as my first car, but maybe the 2.5l. Good idea?

Greatest move you'll ever make as a first car, but be careful of one specific thing I give you futher down. I've owned one of these in 2.5 liter straight 5, also from 1995, one of the very last w124 saloons. They are a marvel to drive (although being very slow off the line. This car will take you wherever you want to go and will outlive every shitboxes - even the most recent ones you come across) they are cheap to run, bulletproof, and outstandingly comfy on long journeys. Once you get used to driving it as it should - smoothly - this car is beyond belief! I absolutely agree with Nathan Van Egmond, this car will enable you to understand how a proper car should run. The engine is unbelievably well designed. I never rush mine through the first gears and it's been truly loyal to me. I love that thing. It has done 350 k and the engine feels like it has barely been run in.... the ride is superb and nothing rattles inside. It would take a nuclear war to destroy these things. Grab one in good shape that's been looked after and enjoy years of trouble free-motoring! be careful to fully review the entire maintenance history of the car you want to grab. They are prone to feature "seized" glowplugs over time. The failure of a glowplug materializes in difficult cold starts (the diesel fuel isn't warmed up on one of more cylinders, which causes the car to jutter while coming to life and during the first 10 seconds- depending on how cold it is outside) it's a cheap and easy job to complete, BUT old Mercs do suffer from seized glowplugs . If that happens, you're done! the car needs its engine taken out to allow high costs repair. I'm slowly losing mine to this condition. It developped a glowplug failure one day and I eventually found out all the plugs where seized in the cylinder head. I bought my beloved w124 without ensuring the plugs had been changed recently. My little queen is doomed because of this. SO SAD..... one day, it won't start and I've been told the engine out solution is well over 2000 USD. That's the way I get to lose a great car.... because of an oversight. The only car I want as a replacement is a w124. One of the greatest car there is.

Of course... these things were never meant to go fast. We used to have a w123 years ago, and I kinda know what to expect from the w 124. Rust isn't much of a problem, since Bosnia is a rather warm country, especially the south, so I'm not worried much about it. 2000€ gets you a looked after 2.5l diesel with an AC. That is my aim. Thanks for the adice, much appreciated :D

You're very welcome. Safe driving to you and take good care of the old Merc. Warm regards to Bosnia from France.

BMW (Munich - Bavaria), Daimler Benz (Stuttgart - Baden-Württemberg). I think people from Baden-Württemberg state would be extremely exasperated over you calling them "Bavarian". These two states are usually very competitive among each other and people tend to hate one another.

You should be worried about run out of diesel haha

I am building a w124 250td into a ”tractor” that I can drive when I am 15yo

i wishd id had some day w123 280e and w124 300d

Why when you turn on keys something make this noise?

Wow half a Million and Runs like new it probaly has a lot of rust fix that fast or it will get much worse I own a 250d w124 and it had a giant rust problem

Hello i speak french I have the same I am a mercedes benz specialist you should never start in fuel reserve with this type of car in fact the engine is very resistant and has a good reputation but the car is old so it is possible that the dirt is in the tank filled with oil ... Mercedes-Benz SERVICE The best or nothing. I am sending you this message using google translate because I come from France, good luck continuing you and your Mercedes-Benz!

I wish you all the best on this! I found out recently that all my plugs were seized. I'm very sad to see my w124 slowly go to being advertised as "spare". Truly breaks my heart. There's so much to come out of this car even after 22 years of superb and uneventful service.

get an om606a engine in that with a dieselmeken pump.

My E250 93 (over 1.5MKm...) has a problem with stucked and failed glowplugs. Another engine is the solution. Or another car... So sad.

Mercedes built good diesel engines in the past. However I am still of the impression the newer cars with 1 million kilometers or many kilometers on them are better technically.
