1982 Mercedes-Benz W123 review from Taiwan
"A good car to run for 30 years"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Vacuum central lock system were fixed at 1999.
2000 C.C. gas engine was rebuilt at 210000KM.
My car got a new paint at 165000KM at its age of 17 yeas old.
My front brake disk were replaced at 175000KM.
My blower is not running well at the beginning with my A/C climate system.
My steering system is not running accurately.
General comments?
My W123 2.0 gas engine is a good car I guess. I have already done most of the works. Due to it is a gas engine model, this engine can only run most up to 200000 km averagely as I know. By the way, the brake system is very good.
