Let's take a look at the red w124 projects differential

This video is about Let's take a look at the red w124 projects differential

[Semmelhuber]

My differential has been "singing" for years. Now it got very loud and finally it crashed. But I got a used one with all the specifications for my 300te (ASD, no ABS ...) and I'm very happy with this.
Greetings from Germany!

Regarding these shafts, they are basically only fitted to m104 powered 124’s and 129’s in Australia so finding replacements will be near impossible. I think i will fit new inner joints and clean out the outer ones and fit new boots and hope for the best. I’ve pretty much no other choice. Buying new ones will be outrageous.

An Oil change an new sealing Rings should by sufficient for the next 300.000km. My E320T build 1993 has 560.000 km whitout demage on the Differential. Only Oil changes and sealing Rings in 2005 at 400.000km. Has worked whitout problems since then! The Quality is realy incredible!
But here in Germany Rust is the mutch bigger Problem. A lot of road salt on the steets...

This encourages me to not give up on my project!

Hi, is there any difference in changing diff fluid on a ASD diff

[kubaSWAT]

Hey, so for the front nut you just tightened it by hand?

[JeffreyMillswacej]

Would you know which Mercedes I'll need to look for to find a 210mm 3.27 differential. Thanks

[salahasem]

thank you for your help, I have 300D already converted from manual to auto, the problem when i go above 80km and my foot left the gaz pedal all the car vibrate, they told me its probably that differntial was not changed, could you help me how to make sure from this .another info on speed 100 km rpm is 3

The inner joint really seems like its just disconnected, it can happen when you pull it too hard and just need to open the rubber boot and allign balls with shaft again (giggedy).
Im not 100% sure if w124 even has these kind that disconnect but have a look anyway.

Thank you for this content... I just know that changing seal on differential is more complex than my imagination.. 😄

[Sean-lppx]

Could you give me some insight here? Why does only 1 wheel rotate when I have the car raised up at the rear and in gear? Only my left wheel moves in drive, the right one does not move unless I accelerate and the gears change.

[mojox]

is it safe to jack up a W124 from the rear differential - and what could go wrong?
e.g on a 34 year old mercedes - can those rubber bushings disintegrate..

Hi dude your videos very very useful admirations, as I am about to perform the same with my differential as I am not a mechanic and I was wondering what stuff to use to clean the differential from inside you have mentioned something about a solution what exactly is that solution?

[raveservice]

do you have a part number for the abs o-ring?

[jerbear]

Just because my hex bolts like to live a simple life dedicated to good clean morals doesn't mean you need to call them vanilla with that tone. They are good god fearing fasteners; something these young bolts of today could stand to learn about.

[JuckPlayS]

how can i open the axle shaft bolts? i think my impact gun is just to weak and i cant really use a braker bar or something like that because the shaft keeps spinning.. any help would be much appreciated

[kwittnebel]

There is a lash spec on the main gear you could check with a dial indicator.

[tonyau]

Never had an issue with splined or Torx bits on a rattle gun providing the bits are a good quality and the rattle gun isnt turned up to eleventy.
Of course they should already be clean and damage free.

[darens]

Wish I had been this thorough but I was running out of time and had to get the car back together. Mine felt “notchy” when I held one side and spun the other. Didn’t have time to pull 1/2 shafts either :( No leaks though.

[khobaibbinalahmar]

What is the model of your impact gun ?
