Will it start? Mercedes 240D W123 bought at auction
I came across an online auction with several old Mercedes cars and decided to take a change and buy this 240D diesel Mercedes. I bought it sight unseen and it didn’t have a key. Will I be able to get it running again? In this video I also diagnose the non working glow plug relay and discover why two electric windows weren’t working.

How much did you sell this for? I have a 95 12v 4x4 same size motorhome I’m looking to sell soon.
cool vids man good job informative content. I wish there where 400 dollar mercedes left in europe it doesnt happen period 900 and completely parts cars yes but all the rest is in or africa and still running with no doors seats and dinged to crap or marocco or such. build to last and will run for ever if taken care of.
We have a 1978 300D W123 and it has an engine stop part number: 123 240 03 65 which is just behind the oil pan. This means the chassis is lifted with the engine until that engine stop bracket is unbolted.
11+ mpg is pretty good. What motor does this truck have?
Just subscribe to your Channel I have a 1970 220 diesel body is pretty Rusty remove the motor and transmission trying to get it running👍
Very good info. If you could work on that camera angle and turn up the audio instructions I think you would have the perfect brake/ bearing video. Thanks for what you posted.
Amazing like your motor mount video. Nice work!!!
Thanks Grant!
I’ve owned these 300’s for years. I changed my engine mounts 5 years ago & sure wish I’d seen this first. I’m afraid I need to change them again - I did not use the original equipment - I’ve done that on a few jobs and regretted it. Thanks for your good advice.
Thank you. I’d definitely recommend getting Lemforder engine mounts as they were the OEM supplier for MB. A lot of the other brands unfortunately don’t last nearly as long.
U done hard work
Thanks for taking the time to make this video for us ! Liked/Subscribed ! *FJB !*
Someone did a number on that car Is splacing wires Cool you got it Running
Need new glow plugs
The glow plugs were actually ok, but the glow plug relay was bad.
This good car very cheap
Love these old reliable machines! My own 1983 W123 300D 4-speed needed some serious work all around, but i love that as project too. These with diesel engines are so simple to work on, and W123's only real threat is rust. My own has some of it, but in future i am gonna fix it through and through. Gonna restore it properly and take care it well, so it will take care of me in return! I actually have couple projects that have to wait to this one to be complete, i maybe sell those ones if someone who have interest in them.
Thanks for the comment! I’m glad to hear you’re working on fixing yours and taking good care of them. These are such amazing cars! I have a few others I’m working on fixing up as well.
keep vids coming! Nice
Это будет супер!!!
Great video and diagnosis!
Another one saved!!!!😍
Thanks. Looks like you have been busy as well! Merry Christmas! 🎄
Good to see you posting again. Are you doing this work as a full time job nowadays?
I get to work on these during the “off season” in the winter but I have a full time job during the summer.
Boko...how's the new wife, the new house, newtown...and trucking business?
thanks for this, wish i watched it before doing it. which offset reversible ratcheting wrench is that? and how did you mount a socket to it? with a hex to 1/4" square adapter?
so we should think is true right?ahahahahahahahahaha crackpot
Amazing video!!!!!
Amazing! Please keep uploading on the w123 content, I'm all the way here for it
Great job thank you
thanks! great video. dont think either of these are my issue but great to know how to diagnose. My issue on the same car is that i have air out the middle two vents but very little out the bottom towards the feet! gets chilly driving in colder temperatures :/
This video answers so many questions about my 240d. Thank you.
Really nice video, I needed those informations thanks a lot ! Where may I find the factory service manual ?
What Mercedes part #s did you use for those mounts?
Welcome back. Nice job.
Valves sound tight. Did it run and sound better after a valve adjustment? Any updates on the car's progress?
I did a couple more videos on it, I tested the compression and injectors and unfortunately the engine needs to be rebuild. If you check out my channel you’ll find the other videos I did on this car.
Great video! What socket size is the motor mount?
8mm hex socket for the bigger one, usually 6mm hex for the 2 smaller ones
Score! Nice video. Almost looks like you are in walla walla...
Prepared trucking really makes his mouth water I guess🤔
What is the shield for? Can I leave it off for better acces sto the bolts?
This is the best video that i have seen sofar for changing the engine mounts. I am changing mine and i had all sorts of questions, like where to the cover arrow point, how to remove the mini shocks as mine was turning. You have covered everything in detail and so well explained. Thank you for making such DIY inspirational videos. Regards, Sujit
Thank you so much for the kind words Sujit. I’m glad it was helpful. Good luck with your car.
new (to me) shop looks great, wish I could be there to learn working on these! I now own an old(er) German car myself, a 23 year old BMW 320ci, not quite as vintage though 😉
Yes it’s a little bigger shop, so lots of room. That’s cool, you should send me some pictures of it! I bet it’s a lot faster than any of my cars.
Great Video Boko, very informative. Glad to see you back.
Thank you!
Hope all is well. Not much into Mercedes, came for the trucking.
Thank you, I had not been able to post for awhile but hope to post a trucking update soon too.
🤗👍👌
What is the payload capacity? The extra length will eat into the payload capacity.
Non CDL I was able to haul 10k lbs on this trailer
40 foot wouldn't add much more weight than a 36. I'd go with a 40 ft straight deck with 8k's and if you stick with Big Tex that is fine with a pickjup since they have a shorter 8 ft gooseneck section to keep it to 65 ft. Tow Piglet went over all that in one of his vids from awhile back. You can derate if no CDL but it gives you some room to step up later if you want to get your CDL and re-rate it back to it's full GVWR and pull it with a bigger truck.
Valve adjustment will help and try new injecters maybe still go for another 100k with proper Care
Very informative..
Nice..
Great buy..
Great stuff! Very helpful.
Thank you!
I know this video is a couple years old, but even in 2020 when everything crashed, this was an amazing buy and a super cool car. I'll check the rest of your channel to see if you ever made any more videos of it. The 2nd Mercedes I ever owned was a 1979 300D which I bought in the early '90s for $1500. I ended up driving that for about 3 years before giving it to a friend in need.
What a lucky awesome deal you got there! I'm envious.
I’m working on my W123 as well today, something loose in the steering. I have similar looking leaks. I suspect the front main crank seal. The oil is getting thrown to the sides and blown back. I also suspect that the rear main seal is leaking. I’ve got a couple of Toyotas with 30 and 40K more miles without any significant leaks (nothing on the driveway). My ‘81 300D has only 140K miles on it. So many leaks! Can’t complain too much as the car was always kept in a Garage by previous owner, there is no rust. Anyway thanks for the video. Very well done.
