I'm a little confused on the 124 model. Is it a six cylinder or a five cylinder, OM603 or 602? Isn't there an issue with heads on one of these?

Leathermang,

I completely agree with you. In my experience on the three 123's I have worked on the ETR switch has been the last adjustment to fine tune the A/C performance. It has been really...

Leathermang,

I think it can be a tricky thing for people to set themselves if they aren't using a thermometer to check vent temps and also watching the manifold gauges. In my experience the ETR...
