please,please tell me it aint so........
 

just got back from a friends shop. he was working on a '92 300se or s320.not sure which engine but year is right.anyway,he repaired leaking head gasket and cap/rotor.afterwards,when he would rev it past 1800-2000 rpm it would ~chug.started to look at harness and the insulation was cracking and breaking off.i had heard of these problems before but thought it was limited to e-class.now,obviously not.is this a straight six problem or can i expect the same from my '95 s500 v8?:eek: :( :eek:

Hi, I just read what you posted and saw all the "views" and how few responses you recieved. None actually-I'm wondering if a more specific "post" would've helped?

Just a pattern I've noticed-thought I'd ask!

(No reply needed)

OOPS! Not a pattern you've established-just a general one I see on both this site, and Miata site.

i believe it happens on the six, wether in 'E' or 'S'. I believe your '95 is fine. Someone confirm?

The MB harnesses seem to be cracking and getting brittle on
all models, not just the 124. I have fixed 126's, 124's, and 201's.
However lately I have been seeing lots of 140's like S500/600's.
129's of all kinds, 210's E-class diesel thru E55, and lots and
lots of 202 C-classes. The hotter the climate and the hotter
the engine, the worse it seems to be.
Handle those harnesses with care. 2000's are starting to pop up.

wow
 

2000's with harness problems?you would have thought they would have fixed that by now.thanks dr.d:mad:
