Keychain – Head Gasket for Mercedes M103
The Mercedes M103 is the archetypal late-80s/early-90s straight-six – a 12-valve SOHC engine with 2.6 or 3.0 litres of displacement. It powered cars like the W124 260 E and 300 E, the W201 190 E 2.6, W126 260 SE/300 SE/SEL, the R107 300 SL and early G-Class models such as the 300 GE. For many, this engine defines the robust, mechanical Mercedes era before turbos and heavy electronics took over.
Technically, the M103 uses a cast-iron block with a single overhead camshaft, two valves per cylinder and Bosch KE-Jetronic mechanical-electronic fuel injection. In 3.0-litre form it offers a supple torque curve that suits W124 and W126 bodies perfectly – enough power for serious autobahn use while still delivering the smooth, relaxed character people expect from a Mercedes straight-six.
Common topics among enthusiasts include valve stem seals (blue smoke after start-up), minor oil leaks at the head or cam cover, ageing KE-Jetronic components that affect warm-up and idle quality, and cooling systems that deserve a refresh after decades of service. A healthy radiator, water pump, thermostat and hoses, plus regular oil changes, usually mean the engine outlives the bodywork.
In today’s scene, the M103 is a pillar of the youngtimer world: W124 300 E long-distance cruisers, 190 E 2.6 sleepers, W126 sedans with period charm and G 300 GE off-roaders that drink a bit but reward with character. Some owners keep everything stock, others pair the M103 with updated suspension and wheels to build daily-driven classics.
This head-gasket keychain is aimed at exactly those people – owners of W124, W201, W126, R107 or early G-Class models who recognise the M103 by sound alone. It’s a perfect gift for anyone with a 260 E, 300 E, 190 E 2.6 or 300 SL, and just as much something to keep for yourself if you’re in love with that classic Mercedes straight-six feel.
Proudly crafted in Germany, meticulously detailed and finely finished for a refined in-hand feel paired with a premium brushed surface.
