Re: [MBZ] Riding in a Flatbed....(w123 starters)
It IS a pain in the ass job on the w123 turbo cars! I love working on mine until it's time to do that job again. What in the world were those crazy Germans smoking when they decided to use those allen head bolts in such a rotten spot to get to? Mike On Oct 31, 2012 12:07 PM, G. M.

I replaced the starter (what a job!) and this solved the problem. Good luck. G. M.

I have a W123 naturally-aspirated car and it's not much of a job to change the starter. I forgot the turbo is on that side!

First one I pulled off was from my old coupe. Came off in minutes. The 83 was a bear.

Re: [MBZ] Riding in a Flatbed....(w123 starters)
Thats one of the reasons I never replace just a solenoid. I always think how much would I want to do this job again? To replace the solenoid step 1 is remove starter... -Curt Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2012 09:23:09 -0600 From: Craig diese...@pisquared.net To: mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] Riding in a Flatbed(w123 starters) Message-ID: 20121101092309.7d01cbb6b45d57d1d5e04...@pisquared.net Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII On Thu, 1 Nov 2012 07:54:32 -0400 Michael Canfield slozuk...@gmail.com wrote: It IS a pain in the ass job on the w123 turbo cars!
