Always crack the fill plug FIRST so if it's siezed you won't be left with a dry diff and no way to fill it. Also, that color is very concerning. It looks like there is lots of metal particulate in that oil. That would be a sign if excessive wear or even a hint at future death of the differential. If I saw that, I would put a magnet in a plastic bag and swirl it in the pan to get an idea of actually how much metal us in the fluid.
It took close to 1.3 liters. We used one full 1-liter container plus partial of the second 1-liter container. The Mercedes specification says 1.3 liters, and we just filled it until it overflowed.
The w124 chassis has two different sizes of differentials, 185mm and 210mm The smaller 185mm takes around 0.8-0.9L and the bigger 210mm takes as in the video 1.3L Easiest way to see what you have is to look under the car. The 210mm has a mounting point on the front of the housing at the prop shaft. The small 185mm does not have this mounting point.
I have a 1993 (300e) w124 with m104 engine. I have a rear axle leak really small but you know how that goes with the leak it only gets bigger. I've seen the steps on how to remove the rear differential plate to replace the gasket. Is there any stop leak I can use for the rear differential that won't change the viscosity of the oil too much question mark anybody know I'd appreciate it
Hello, thanks for your nice videos. I need some help. I have restored my m102 engine and I have changed the oil pump chains but at the end of the restoration everything is going smoothly accept the oil pump is doesn't work 😭. There is no new oil pump in the stores nowadays. I have found only the chains of it. Would you mind to give help to make it work!
You should always remove the filler plug first just in case you can't open the filler plug. Then you would end up having no oil in the differential.
first loosen the filler plug...:) ... just saying...:)

Thank you From Germany,W124 Number one!

That's a nasty oil leak on the diff. Fix that first or you will be filling up with oil every time you fill the gas tank. lol.
+1. .. What Artemio Mundo said. .. "loosen the fill plug first". .. Wow cruddy gear oil appearance....
Loosen/remove the filler plug first THEN the drain plug! Rookie mistake there bud!
i was thinking the EXACT same thing!
Absolutely you are right bro. Process sequence is incorrect. First off all, he had to unscrew the filler plug and than loosen drain plug
why does it matter........
Because if you can't get the fill plug off you can't refill it. So if you take the drain plug out first you can be stuck with no way to refill it.

modzona W124 200D 185mm?
How often should you change the diff oil ?
At what milled would u consider differential change
Allways filler plug first !!!
Fix the diff leak first

Thank you for making this video. Can you leave a link to the oil that was used? How much oil would a 240d need? Is there a danger if over filled?
Good job
Hi,
How much oil did it actually take? 1 or 1.3 liter?
Asking just because my local dealer says it only takes 0.9 to 1 liters.
