@@ccrepairchannel I was thinking if it can pull from a standstill in 1st or 2nd gear up a hill of about 40 degrees of bank and 20 meters lengths I am planning to buy a W124 200D so I am wondering if it will be able to withstand trips to the summer home. P.S. Thank you for you're reply.
@@andrej8566 Well, I haven't tested such a steep hill... But if there is grip I'd think it will climb that hill. Gearing in 1st and 2nd will be low enough, I think...
@@andrej8566Well, I have only changed the oil… I don’t know what previous owners have done, but it is possible that it is just well maintained - these engines are very durable.
@17.48 You could have continued right and visited Russia for us !
I believe some border guards would have been strongly against me doing that 😂
How does it go up the hill, can it pull it off on bigger uphills?
Veery slowly 🙄 Not very big uphills here luckily, so it just about maintains it’s pace - no need to even downshift to 3rd…

@@ccrepairchannel Btw did you rebuild the engine or it's just well maintained because oil pressure is on maximum and engine is purring like a kitten
