124 turbo on a 123 diesel
I know the diesels in the merc sedans are also used in the G's...or as far as i know this is true.
I have a 1980 merc wagon,a 123. I have the opportunity to buy a cheap brand new merc 124 turbo.
If these engines are interchangable,Im presuming that people here have therefore dealt with these engines.
So...the question,will a 124 diesel turbo fit a 123 diesel turbo?
Thanks.
Hi a merc 124 turbo should be the om603 six cylinder engine and the 123 engine should be an om 617 five cylinder engine ...totally different....cld be interested in the om 603 ...send some pics plse rgds
How have you come accross a 124 turbo in Oz? I thought that they were LHD only.
You could put the engine in a G and it would be good

Well after a bit of research the answer is no...the manifolds are differant.
But I wonder if the manifolds are the same on a G as a 123. Maybe the manifold of a G is differant and can be swapped over onto a 123. Might be a little tight for space as the steering box is close to the manifold on a 123.
If anyone is after a Gen Merc 124 turbo,let me know.
