A 201 DOESN'T ha
In my experience, the driver seat in the W201 does not
provide as good lumbar support as the W124 or even my
old W123 240D seat. If you can find an used W124 E320
orthopedic seat and make it work you will be very
happy, especially if you are going to make long trips
in that car.

On that last point, does anybody have a driver's seat for a w201? I
have
a quote of $500 to rebuild it with a new seat frame. I wonder if this
is something I could do myself and save some money?
It is very common to take a donor passenger seat and to combine parts
to make a good driver's seat.

Hey Tom,
I'm currently going through that with my 190D. I won't even talk about how much I paid, but I decided I was going to make it into a very nice car before I started driving it.

Brian,
This all falls under the "let the buyer beware" clause. You should have done
your homework on the car before purchasing it.

Hi Brian,
I missed the type of car here, but I gather it's a W124 or W126 with
an OM603 engine. I&#
right about the 'caveat emptor' clause, but my complaint is more
along the lines of dishonesty within the classic Benz owners' community.

I don't think so. He was on Diesel, then took a temporary assignment in
Mexico. He was looking at 350SDLs and gassers, don't remember if he bought
one.

still cheaper than the rate that my Wife's new Grand Cherokee is

Thanks to all those that replied to my question about the vacuum pump port.
I had the engine replaced with a used one, and the shop that did the work
warranted the engine for 30 days. The day after I picked the car up, the
engine wouldn't stop. I took it back to have the problem resolved, and was
The vacuum pump has 3 check valves (poppet valves), one to the engine
(exhaust) and 2 from the vacuum system (intake).
If the exhaust poppet fails, your piston or diaphragm will be full of crud
and there will be little vacuum which will take a long time to build up.

If you have oil in the vaccum lines either the diaphram in the fuel
shutoff valve is leaking or the diaphram in the vacuum pump is.
