Does anyone have a German non grey sales - Euro 78 250???

[Stimpson J Cat]

I have a 1978 250 brought to the U.S. in 1984.

I would Love to know what Fuel, Air and Oil filters and tune-up parts I can get and if they are the same as some 'North American' sold models?

So....Is there a U.S. sold model that I can tell the parts supplier that I have to save on the confushion?....or am I in BIG TROUBLE?

Not too many 78 mercedes running around with a Straight six and a 4 Blr carb in it.

All the books at the stores ansd on line say NO 250 in 1978 ....well I know that part

HELP!!!!!!

Thanks!

The W123 chassis 250 was never delivered to the US. It should be the same gas, air & fuel filters as the M110 motor in a W123 chassis. Also fastlane should be able to either confirm that or sell you the correct parts. -CTH

I have a 1984 200 gas Euro from Saudi Arabia. I live in the same state you do and there is only one resource that I can find that will help you. I have owned over 150 Mercedes of all makes and models. Please send me a private message and I will hook you up.

PS. Anybody with the Euro EPC can help you. You can get it yourself off of ebay if you find the "8 disk set" of parts CDs listed.

Well today was the first day ( with new tabs and registration ) and I drove her to work and I loved it! very quiet and comortable ride. I took the freeway home with the sun roof and my drivers window down and man! I did not get all beat to hell by the wind and noise!

Funny the steering seemed to have a tiny bit of play on the back streets but was much tighter on the highway...COOL!

I think I like Mercedes! well built and EASY to work on!

Aerodynamics on these cars is outstanding.... D'you notice the vertical air dam alongside the front windshield? You can litterally drive in the rain with the window down and no water will get in.

Another nifty trick is cracking the sunroof a couple of inches in Wintertime when you need to defrost the front windshield.
