Hendrik, The simplest thing is to just ignore or block posts from relly. They are almost always irrelevant. Or, as he sez, not relater. ...Unless you want welcome him to the isuzu owners club.. So I am supposed to trawl back through a 100 or so posts to find the one you originally referred to, even though you may well have changed the original title to something completely different, then write the original posters name on what you quoted, just so people don't get confused? Why don't you just leave the original posters name on what you quoting? Like everyone else around here. You actually seem to take the time to cut the name out, for whatever reason.

I think it's coming from the water pump. The thing has a belt driven pulley and a lot of hoses going to it and has the thermostat on top.

Coil pack, or what some domestic manufacturers call COP or coil on plug are nothing more than individual ignition coils that are typically mounted directly on top of the spark plug. To get to a spark plug you merely disconnect the wiring harness connector to the coil pack and twist/pull to remove the coil pack from the spark plug.

Have somebody switch back and forth between economy (EC button) and full defrost (leftmost button of the five on the ACC panel) while you watch the compressor clutch. Not foolproof, though.

Re: [MBZ] 95 E320 Update
The 210 style motors are prone to a fractured solder joint between the motor and the PC board that they connect to. It is possible to judiciously tease the thing apart and resolder the connection. Things will work done after. The headrests are removed by extending them upward fully then pulling them out by hand. (harder than you think you should have to. Do not attempt to remove the headrests if they are not at full mast.)

I suppose you could check the base pressure on your car before starting it when it's cold, and compare that to the pressure on the E320. At least then you'd know that there's SOME liquid in the system if the pressure matches.

Re: [MBZ] 95 E320 Convertible
Sounds like the kinda guy who might fix things as they come up. It's old enough, I would imagine a number of things have already been addressed on it. I think they're great looking cars too. Years ago when I was in the club, and guy sold a mint mint mint SL280 to buy a new E320 convertible at the time. I think a few here had some sportline option or something. I remember one guy had a coupe, which I think had a 23 valve head or something, different suspension and seats, etc. I think the standard M104 is a 16 valve engine ? Anyway, if you really want it, keep bugging him, or reminding him you would like first chance to buy it should he ever decide to sell. I've got a few cars that way. For me, it's preferable to see something you really like, and offer to buy it, than trying to sort through all the for sale junk out there with the hope you'll find one you like. Good luck.

I smell another arbitrage opportunity for you, Donald. Sounds like
they're unlikely to know what the car is worth nor how collectible it
is. The 124 convertible is the modern equivalent of the W111
cabriolet ('68-'71? 280SE). If prices I see on CL and eBay are any
indication, the car should sell for anywhere from twice to ten times
the price of a plain ol' 6-cylinder 124 sedan of the same year--i.e.
$10,000 on up.

Boy, I hope they don't think it is worth that much! I was hoping to pay no
more than $7500 and only that much if it has low miles. You are right, these
cars are getting very pricey and they are hard to find. There is one for sale
here in town for $20K and its got 90K miles. Well, I will keep bugging him

yes, most are based on reported sales by stealers. I don't know if they intentionally misreport or if it is just stupididity, but many MB prices are off. In the 70s the NADA book continually showed you could buy a 3-5 year old 220 or 240D for under $2000. I kept thelling the insurance adjusters to go out and buy all those cars they could find and I would sell them for $4000. Nobody ever produced a $2000 220D.

Re: [MBZ] 95 E320
Eric, While I still love mine, there are a few issues you should be aware of before buying. Not all of these are catastrophic, but may be used to negotiate price :^) 1) Most of the later W124 chassis cars (I know starting with the M104 engine intorduced in 1993) came with a newly introduced biodegradeable wiring harness. Unfortunately, the high heat environement of the engine compartment caused the insulation to degrade prematurely. Many of these have probably been replaced by the 120K mile point, but it's always good to ask. If the current owner doesn't know if it's been replaced, assume it hasn't. It's not a particularly difficult DIY job, but is very time consuming if you're doing it for the first time. 2) Head gaskets have been known to begin to seep oil out at about the middle on the passenger side. Take a look here for old, crusty, seeping oil. If the gasket needs to be replace, might as well do a valve job while it's off. The M104 bottom end is quite robust, so with a fresh valve job, you're easily good for another 150K miles. 3) In warm southern climates, where the A/C goes through a lot of thermal cycles, the evaporators have been known to spring leaks around the seams. This doesn't sound too bad until you realize Mercedes hung the evaporator by a string and then built a car around it. I've seen quotes between 14 and 18 shop hours to replace, though I good tech who's done a few can get it done in one solid day. Not for the faint of heart to DIY. Ask the current owner about A/C issues, and be wary of any car that just needs a charge. It can be very difficult to diagnose the evap leak since you can't get to it directly. Sometimes a good leak sniffer (or even your nose if you know what PAG oil smells like) can get a whiff of refrigerant out of the vents when the blower is first started up. In other cases, you can detect refrigerant or oil coming out the evap drain under the car. Don't want to sound too discouraging as the 1995 E320 is really quite a car.

I haven't heard of evaporator problems on the W210 and later models, but have no idea if they use the same aluminum/copper evaporator disaster as the late W124.

The defective evaporators are in ALL 124s - not just late ones, and possibly present to a lesser degree in late (1986 on) 126s. The problem doesn't appear to be present in 210 chassis cars.

In 95, they had VERY EXPENSIVE a/c problems you have to replace the evaporator, they also have wiring harness going bad - also pretty expensive if you can't do it yourself. In 95 you won't have the corrosion problems of the later models. The 95 has all the bells and whistles and I think it is the best looking 124. You know what you won't have any of these problems with?

Re: [MBZ] 95 E320
Also plan on the rear accumulators ( nitrogen filled rear suspension spheres ). A pair will run $200 plus oil. Book time is 5 1/2 hours on a wagon and you'll need every bit of the 5 1/2 hours. I did them on our 1995 E320 wagon. Engine harness was replaced. However the compressor was leaking and not the evaporator.
