1992 300E upgrades for headlights & radio by heywood1
Oct 11, 2007 (5:54 pm)
Reply
I just inherited my mother's '92 300E. A really nice--and very gently used--car with only 68,000 miles.
 
I've always been a Mercedes fan-- especially back when these cars were built to a standard, rather than to a price.
 
But can anyone offer suggestions for upgrading the radio and the headlights for a pre-facelifted W124? (The headlights are dim, and the radio has poor sound, lousy ergonomics, and no CD player).
 
I would appreciate any recommendations for aftermarket products and/or potential replacement pitfalls.
 
PS: Does anyone read this forum? Seriously, there are still tens of thousands of these cars on the road....

E320 parts - cupholder by zeen

The crappy plastic cupholder assembly in my center console is not working on my 2003 E320. I was able to remove it but hate to pay the outrageous cost that the dealer charges for a new one. Are there any sellers of Mercedes parts for this kind of item? The MB parts places I found on the net don't carry this kind of item. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Performanceproducts4benz sells replacement parts and accessories, depending upon model. Also, MBCA members receive a discount. Full disclosure: I do not belong to MBCA.

Latest issue of the MB Star magazine covers this subject. The article stated that ONLY MB coolant is to be used because of the complexity of the differant components in the system.Also do not use "works with any system" type of coolant.
 
If you want to keep on top of the latest info recommend that it is a good idea to join MBCA. Only $45 per year.

Back in June you posted that you liked Yoko tires. Am in the market for my 2005 CDI.What type of tire did you refer to? Need an all season tire. If anyone else has a recommendation would appreciate the input.

How about trying a few local junk (er, recycling) yards..
 
Oh, sorry, MB's don't wear out, do they...!! But there must be one or two someplace that had accidents!!!

Oil Level Warning on 03 by zeen
Nov 06, 2007 (9:22 am)
Reply
My 03 E320 was giving me a message that my oil level was too high. It occurred whenvever I was driving at highway speeds. My local MB mechanic replaced the sensor because he was convinced that it wasn't overfilled. The new sensor did the same thing, so we let out about a half quart of oil but the message persists. It says I need to reduce the oil level. Seems like it's the sensor but you would think the new sensor would not be doing this. Any thoughts?

Yes, it's possible for a new sensor to give a false reading high or low, either way and the ECU can even fail to record data and on rare occassion send faulty codes. Perhaps the "black box" data in the computer can see if the engine ever red-lined.......Good luck!
