No.
There are a few variants. The AU one has 178KW, the normal one has 200KW, and the high compression one 220KW (300hp).
I'll post a bit more about the differences later, but the engine in Dora2 is the high output engine.
My parents had one in a light blue metallic. It was a colour that was never common on the W220. It got hit while parked by a drunk driver and never drove the same. They had planned to keep the car for a while, but traded it in because of the way it drove after the crash. I drove it...
With a little work this could be a really nice car. Fix the dent, some new window seals and a few other misc things. A late SEL is a nice car to have. Sounds like its had good history, I wonder if the timing chain is done.....
There is a cars and coffee event at the St. Ives showground (Sydney) first sunday of the month.
I stopped by today and also went in November. Its a nice informal event and worth stopping by if you're in the area.
It helps its only 10 minutes from me...

is your car airbag equipped? If not, take off the steering wheel pad and its date will be printed on the back.

808 means 1988 model year.
If your car is before 9/88 it should be 5944 Fregattblau
If after, it should be 5301 Andorblau

Checked both of my 126 and I don't have this tool. I wonder if it was from another car? Is there a part number on the back?
Here is the photo of my 560 toolkit. Note the channel lock I added, it is part of the 129 toolkit, not the 126.
Not sure if it was originally part of the 126...
Am thinking of selling my Traction Avant this year. I've had it for about 4 years and enjoyed it but I only drove it about 5 times last year and I have my eye on another car to purchase later this year.
Its not perfect but its in good condition and the previous owner spend serious money on...
Went to look at the fuel leak situation last night on the 560. Have been wanting to do this for about 2 weeks but the weather hasn’t motivated me to go and work on the car.
First thing I noticed was when I pushed the car out of the way there was a major puddle of ATF.
Looks like it...
