Well, I'm the proud new(to me) owner of a '95 E320 Wagon. This makes two E classes in my stable, but this one is quite different from my '86. Well I've got a couple of questions:

1. Does this engine, the 104 I beleive use OBDII diagnostics
and if so, were's the socket.

2. Are the service manuals available on CD for this model

3. The car hesitates and lurchs at light acceleration, no lurching at heavy accel, just light, almost feels like the accelerater cable is sticking, but that seems way to simple.


I have an OBDII code scanner and was wondering if it would work on this model with the HFM engine management. Since I've got a long trip planned this weekend, I'll most likely take it to the dealer this week, but wanted to check with you guys to see if theres some simple things I should check out first.

Thanks
Evan

Look for black rectangular socket with lid in front of the battery. That is the diagnostic socket and has a built-in led/sw. for code
access. It is not OBII. Flash/pulse .
Search engine on forum will tell you how it operates.

This model is ODB1 "enhanced"! Can't use ODB2 connection.
The same W124 MB service cd contains most of the info on this model.

94/95 was an in between year , but the diagnostics storing are quite good. "Enhanced " fits....

The Cd is short on some things for this model and gives none of the codes.
You can get both digit and pulse readings , but they are not ob2,
That came out the following year for the E series.

If you need the codes , email me and I will send them to you.
There are several that can not be gotten from the built in led,
[which monitor the emmision/ck eng lamp circuit],
but are accessible from other sockets of the plug without much difficulty.
