Celebrating 250k on the 1993 300D 2.5 Turbo

Well, she finally rolled around to the quarter of a million miles mark! To celebrate the occasion this week I installed new engine mounts, new transmission mount, new forward flex disc, new trans modulator cap, new IP gasket set, new tires, new AC compressor, new expansion valve, new rec/dryer, (new evaporator last year), and of course it all coincided with the time for its 5k mile oil change.

I've owned this car for just a few weeks past one year. It had 224k on the odometer and was a sick puppy. Here are some links to work I've done in the past year.

My Turn to Replace a W124 AC Evaporator

New headlights for an older gal...

The pic was taken the morning after I brought her home.

I love a w124! This was just before I installed the new headlights.

Congrats!

Has head gasket been replaced yet? Went at 243k on my 92. Hopefully you'll fare better than I did.

Congratulations and I also like to do special things for my ride when it approaches a milestone. These are in my opinion a great car. Your posts are great we're great to follow.

I'm hoping that I'll get many more miles out of it before I have to cross that bridge. I replaced the HG in my '95 E300 OM606 and that was not too difficult so I'm think this OM602 will be even easier.

I've owned one OM603 3.5 liter (rod bender) recently and had pretty decent service out of it. I'm probable going to pick up another one on Saturday if the man can find the title. '93 SD, 171k. I love these MB diesels.
