Thats a very clean conversion.
Was the right fender a straight swap from the sedan?

Very nice you must have a euro exhaust manifold? The w124 coups are a very n ice looking car

RE: C124 300 turbodiesel - willbhere4u - 10-18-2010

is there a big difference with the us manifold?
RE: C124 300 turbodiesel - willbhere4u - 10-19-2010
yea the US version sucks!
Here is a picture I stole off of this sight from a different forum it's like a log manifold that has a trap oxidizer delete installed between the turbo and the manifold
Mercedes recalled the trap oxidizer for creating excessive heat and damaging the cylinder heads
note the manifold is behind the turbo it goes through a lot of stupid bends to get to the turbo!
RE: C124 300 turbodiesel - mb-rene - 10-20-2010
oke thanks,that is really a strange contraption,also the turbohousing is different

Hi MB Rene, I'm writing to you from Tunisia, I'm planning to do the same modification on a coupé c124, could you please explain the different steps of the operation ? Photos, what are the different things not to forget ?
Thanks !
RE: C124 300 turbodiesel - maxypriest - 12-17-2013
What a fantastic conversion.
How did you wire in the vacuum stop, glow plug unit and the rev counter?
I have yet to find a rot free w124 saloon for my 606 project, so may start looking at coupes, as have seen loads of clean ones.
Cheers,
Max

Nice ride! Where are you from Rene?
RE: C124 300 turbodiesel - mb-rene - 12-17-2013
for wire loom , you have to take out the dash , then it's easy access
compleet swap cost me two weeks
