Hi all,

I am still unfamiliar with my 1989 300CE, W124.050, engine 103.983.
This afternoon I removed the air cleaner and took a picture of what underneath.
I have numbered the engine components, most of which I don't know nothing about.

Please could you provide the names of them, just what you know.
All inputs are greatly appreciated. Please scroll to the right if the pix is too big for your screen.

That much I know or I think I know , please fell free to correct


1) a thermo vacuum valve, also controls the fuel tank purge for the charcoal canister
2) aux fan sensor
3) Coolant Temperature Sensor
4) Fuel injector
5) cold start injector
6) electrical connector for #7
7) idle control valve
8) Fuel distributor
9) EHA
10) throttle linkage for cruise control actuator
