Fuel accumulator if no start when cold start in the morning. Turn key in on position for 10 seconds. It should start right away

Hey, yes an m103 will also have an eha valve. It wont be the exact same part, as the the valve itself will be configured slightly different to suit the engines needs.

I was thinking about that… unfortunately the fuel pressure regulator for the m104 is not cheap at all.

I’ve added the website I got this one from in the description. I usually visit many websites until I find what I need… I have yet to find my one place to go for everything.

What kind of pack should I open?

@@ArcticWhite300TE legendary collection

I just googled w124 Central locking diagram and found a lot of helpful images. Can you hear your vacuum pump operating? Trunk, Driver, and front passenger all send electrical signals. Rear passengers and petrol flap and vacuum only. The yellow lines are the vacuum lines. If you put down a little more info on what's going on on your side I could give you more of my thoughts. Keep in mind, I'm not an expert though :D

@@ArcticWhite300TE Thanks for responding Yes, you can hear the engine under the back seat. And those with the back doors open and close whenever they want, if they're lucky. Not that they will always work. Just like gasoline. Every so often I lubricate with spray and it works for a while. Then it's time to open the manual. You are not an expert. But you know more than me and that helps😅

Hey Sarah, schoen von dir zu hoeren! Den sweater hat mir vor ca. 8 Jahren Basti fuern Fruehsteck getauscht, EIn hervorragender Deal :D

I am! Of course I try to do enough research beforehand... #1 Someone else also told me pretty much immediately after I uploaded the video, not doing that extra step anymore haha. #2 That is very interesting. When I kick down, I am definitely getting the shift down. Now I am wondering if that's just a natural shift down?? I couldn't really see any place to plug the pin in... Also mines an m104, but that probably doesn't change any of your statement

If you have any sources or pics that could help me regarding that one pin wire, please let me know!

Just google m104 kickdown solenoid and search until you find it.

​@@ArcticWhite300TEExcuse me, how can I replace the fuel pump fuse in a 1996 Mercedes Benz E320?

I am not too sure about that. Definitely agree that when cold starting it will be higher first, but once reaching temperature, a lot of documentation suggests that the rev count should be between 600 and 750 for the m104. Although I'd also suggest that age of the vehicle components and the difference in fuel compared to 35 years ago, have an influence on what is considered normal. Overall, I'm actually not fussed too much about my idle, as long as its stable and the numbers aren't crazy high or low. After having had it at the mechanic recently, he adjusted the fuel mixture screw, and now it will sometimes surge when warm. I deliberately didn't touch that screw for exactly that reason...

@@ArcticWhite300TE acoeding to what i have learned about KE cold start it is like that.i can record that it with my w201 first generation KE.there is specified time i think some twelve secconds rev are1200 and after that drops the way it should be.if you follow the chanell fix your mercedes there is video about that in w124 .the ECU sends voltage certain time depending to temp sensor to cold start valve to regulate revs.the EHA is receiving voltage depending on temp sensor and other compinents like potentiometter.it is also recomended not let mechanics to adjust fuel mixture screw same as the adjusment on the EHA.i am not KE specialist i am classic mercedes owner but i am trying to fix my mercedes cos it there is no obd2 port it is mechanicall system with fine adjustments as you previously said.

Hey Thomas, thanks for your comment! I've had to slow down a bit recently with my videos. Life has been getting in the way a bit... Is your 300E and m103 or m104? some late 1990s were already 104s as far as is know. Also, what's on your to-do? Might need to reach out if you fix something that I need to attend to eventually.

@@ArcticWhite300TE Hello Arctic. Rome was not build in one day! my 300E got the good old M103 engin :D well as most of my projects the list is long... fix rust - change rear and front windows - change headlights - install insolation on the hood - fix vacuum lock on passanger door - fix heating on driver seat - fix power windows - new wood trim - big sercive on all breaks - coat the wheels - fix vacuum lock on front seats - low idle - lack of power under acceleration. so fare that is all on the list but i wont be supriced if more things will be added to the list. best regrds Thomas.

Appreciate your comment! ... and haven't thought that. It will certainly be the next thing I'd look at. But I did notice some improvement already, so I am somewhat optimistic that lubing the whole speedocable should do the trick. Only one way to find out though :D

New cameraman… said he will film every week now, but only if he gets a cameo

#williwaehlen

Sick! I always keep my eyes on all 124s on trademe and marketplace, so rare to see a coupe 😮

You’re welcome!

Hello friend! Absolutely right about the boot. More often that not I am actually a lot more careful, sometimes the weight of the door mixed with my focus on something else gets in the way of the gentle approach. In another video I actually do mention that the locking mechanism sounds a bit "crunchy", which should probably make me even more cautious. Luckily though, I do have a spare mechanism not that I want to install it before absolutely necessary. Regarding the rust, you're probably right and I could have saved myself a lot of time :D I saw this very much as practice, so I wanted to go all out and test all the tools. I think for future rust treatment I might way the options a bit more and go for a less intrusive approach. Anyway, thanks for watching my video :)

Thanks Jordan, this week was the first week I missed filming one :( I actually did end up doing a lot of work, but it was a stressful affair. Started pulling stuff apart in the rain, locked myself out the car, spent hours on electrical testing - all that with barely any progress. When I'm filming and working, everything takes about twice as long, and I simply didn't have the energy for that. Hopefully I feel recharged this weekend, then I'll recap what happened and hopefully have some solutions on the way too. Thanks for watching and commenting btw, appreciate that, especially after this weekends tough grind..

It is designed for this vehicle, so I would assume it has a reasonable threshold. I’ve got a longer version of this video on my channel, which contains the link for the product in the description.

Thanks for being patient!

I've got a few things in mind, but I mostly want to keep it fairly clean. Form follows function is the motto.

How exactly do you mean? By the way, I thought it wouldn’t change much in terms of sound anyway, but it actually does dampen the engine noise significantly! Been doing about 500km since I have it, and I can 100% tell a difference. I also reckon my engine gets up to temps a little bit faster, but that might be bogus 😁

We're trying hard! My camera man is learning steadily :D

thanks! I'll have to find a place that potentially lets me put one on to see, but I'm quite confident it should blend in well. And you're right, I like a bit of character.

Furry steering wheel cover?

Thanks for your kind words! And your sub😃

Thanks my friend, I’m also very pleased. The little bit of rust I found so far should also not be too hard to deal with. Still plenty of other parts to remove though, so the search will go on. Also have a lot of other things I want to do and content I’d like to create. Hoping I can keep up producing one of these per week 💯

It very much depends where in the world you are too! In Germany or the US it’s definitely easier in cheaper.. New Zealand makes life a bit harder in this case 🥲

He escaped the glove box again…

Both the vacuum pump and the fuel lid lock were supplied by a friend and his spare parts car!

Thanks. Very much a learning process for me, so naming tools or parts might not always be correct :D such is the journey

Honestly, that was the plan… but then I held my phone vertical 🙃 all future content will be full screen capturing everything as detailed as I can.
