Hello,

I have a 1991 W124 300TE with the 103 engine. At idle, the oil pressure gauge drops to almost zero. Oil level is correct. When the engine revs, the pressure goes to the top.

I also have a 1988 W124 300E with the 103 engine, and the gauge in it shows just under 1 at idle.

Do I have a failing oil pump in the 300TE?

Any thoughts appreciated.

Gebhard
