Ok answers to your questions

1) i normally pump 250(36psi? Not sure of the calculation) all round by the way mine is 15in, 205/65

2) from what i know, you can pump 92 ron but you have to adjust the CO after you pump in.

3) off hand i can remember that W124 is mostly FI maybe the early early W124's 8V are car? This must double confirm.

4) for your power window, when you press the switch can hear the motor moving? If no sound at all, possible switch faulty. If got sound, but window never move, means window arm gone liao. This will cost you at least $2xx . If got move but super super slow than tortise, than its the motor, this will cost you on the high $1xx .

Hope this helps. :thumbsup:

Good grief !!

I didn't even realize the size of my rubbers when i went to pump up the tyres last nite.

Come to think of it ... It looks like 15 or 16" to me.

I am running 17 on my Scooby Doo so i know it doesn't look like 17 to me.

How do i adjust the CO after pumping RON92 ? Or do i have to get a workshop to do it ?

last but not least ... you spoke my worst fears.

there is no sound, no vibration, no movement ... no watsoever when i press the button

this is no good .... this is no good at all :pray:

when you bring to workshop to do your power window same time ask them to do your CO tuning, it helps in your FC also. :thumbsup:

howdy !!

me again ... with more Qns

1. At about 70 to 80kmh... how much rpm is your tachometer ?

2. I find that by pressing the air recirculation button ON ... i get colder aircon + less exhaust fumes in the car.

is this true ?? how can i ensure the button is permanently turned on ? instead of having to keep pressing the button everytime i start the car ??

millions of thanks !!

Recirculation was designed to turn off automatically as a safety feature so you won't breathe stale air. It still exists as a smarter feature on the latest models in MB's lineup.
