I'm actually amazed at how relatively smoke-free it runs.

It sounds great. Just like my 12 valve cummins turbo diesel with a straight pipe.

Straight piped my 300d 617 and believe me without a turbo it gets ridiculously loud for a 80hp sedan

I love how quiet my 40 year old turbo diesel is. Hidden hotrod. This is funny to see this on a wagon. Great look brother

I'm normally Euro bumpers or bust, but something about the way you have yours set up just makes it look so right. The paint color, the wheels, the driving lights, the wagon body, hell even the side pipes! Kudos from this curmudgeonly purist.

I can confirm that the turbo absorbs some of the detonation. Have a N/A OM605 that sounds brutal if you disconnect the exhaust. My turbo OM605 on the other hand is much quieter.

We have matching cars, mine is a deep blue ‘85. Love the straight pipe, yours is crazy clean for that mileage.

85 was the best year. Where are you from? And thank you!

Hey, Don Drifto Sir. Been watching some of your W123 vids lately. Came accross this one and could not help but notice the sound from the engine itself from the close-to-the ground takes. Does it sound to you like Rod Knock due to worn out bearings? Or is it the engine's natural sound on all W123s? It is a very strong but short, and also random Knocking sound. Love to hear your thoughts
@SirDrifto Жыл бұрын
It's actually a pesky injector. Sometimes when it's cold not fully warmed up the #3 injector ticks/kocks
@archiveselection7656 Жыл бұрын
@@SirDrifto Thanks you so much for your insight and reply. I had a very similar noise on mine. However I am not quite sure if it goes away or continues wen fully warmed up. I was so worried I had a rod knock. Gonna try some quality injector cleaner and see If I get a better result.
