I have a W126 battery tray with some surface rust on the bottom of the tray, the rest is intact. It would clean up nice after being media blasted. If anyone is interested in it PM me and we’ll talk. -D > On Dec 7, 2018, at 6:17 PM, Jim Cathey via Mercedes > wrote: > > W123 battery in the s

I have never had a 123 so tell me, where is the battery and why does the leak show up in the back seat area? Is the battery not under the hood? I know on some of the newer cars, it is under the back seat, but I did not think that to be the case on the 123. RB On 07/12/2018 4:02 PM, Dimitri vi

My 78 240D has had a water leak into the rear passenger footwell for quite some time now. Since the front window seal was replaced this past spring, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s probably being caused by the notorious rust hole under the battery tray which plagues even rust free w123s.
