What functions on your W123 300D/240D still work?
What functions on your car still work?
All vacuum locks___ All dash and console bulbs__ Cruise Control___ Climate Control___ Air Conditioning___ Power Antenna____ OEM Radio___ Uncracked seatbelt buckles, Map Pockets and MakeUp mirrors__ Dash Guages__ Sunroof___ No rust___ On mine its a 100%--except I have a messed up motor which wil have to wait until the Fall when its cooler |
All of that works perfectly on mine, except for the antenna motor and becker radio... but the radio cassette just died after a good 20K miles of use, so i can only use the radio. no tapes anymore. Time to get a new headunit and antenna motor/mast!

I have an all manual 1977 240D, I gave up on door locks about 10 years ago after spending a bundle of $$ to get it fixed, told my mechanic to completely disconnect the vacuum lines and have never looked back, also two years ago when I installed a new motor, I did not re-install the AC, I was told that I could expect to give up at least 25% efficiency over the old system if the system was converted to use the current coolant, the old York compressor never really cooled to begin with, so losing another 25% was totally out of question. Aside from the above everything else works just fine. Thanks, Vahe |
The 'voice-activated' trouble spotting, diagnosis and repair feature still works on SWMBO's ride.
It sounds something like this: " Babe, the back door lock STILL isn't working on my car." |
Ugh. On my '78 300D, I'm sorry to say NONE of that stuff works anymore :(
But my '83 240D will be getting the engine from the 300D, and hopefully I can get it ALL to work. |

Guess I'm one of the lucky ones. 82 300D Turbo 101,000 miles, still have the orig. first aid kit, tool kit, and orig. bill of sale. Garaged Florida car. I probably paid too much 3 1/2 years ago ($4,000) but with what I saved not fixing stuff you have listed, I guess I did O.K. Matt

All vacuum locks_y__ Surprisingly all three strong even after a week of sitting. All dash and console bulbs__ dash rheostat recently replaced on '80, now the ''82 is out, replacement tomorrow. Cruise Control___ Aftermarket on '80 works, factory on '82 works, no cruise on '78. Climate Control___ The euro wagons and domestic 240D are all manual and work. Center vent on '78 won't open. Air Conditioning___ No AC on the wagons, 240D AC blows warm. Power Antenna____ '78 no '80 no '82 intermittent operation. OEM Radio___ 240D Becker Europa radio yes, cassette no, '78/'80 wagons have aftermarket tape/CD. Uncracked seatbelt buckles, Map Pockets and MakeUp mirrors__ Mostly yes, '78 door swung shut and broke map pocket on my knee. Dash Guages__ Odometer kaput on '80. Fuel guage sender on '82 getting flaky, mechanic looksee tomorrow while replacing dashpot. Sunroof___ Manual sunroofs on Euro wagons work fine, no sunroof on 240D. No rust___ The Oregon coast marine climate is getting to the paint chips. And wrinkling the pillar trim, popping and cracking the woodtrim, convincing the weatherstrip of its age... |
