i need help woth the weird stuff on my m119

This are not vacuum hoses, but coolant hoses. One besides the washer fluid tank should go to the heating element in the washer fluid tank that you don't have for some reason. The one besides the firewall is going in to the heater core. There should be two more hoses coming in to the cabin on the passenger side. Probably it was leaking and someone didn't bother to replace it and just plugged the hoses. That's a really weird way to fix it.
 
You have a lot of issues, most of them should be easy to search on this forum. .

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but fixing old MB on a budget especially M119 platform doesn't exist. There is no quick, easy and cheap fix here.

From your video this are the things that I would check frist to make it run properly:

- wiring harness top and bottom and ETA wiring.
- moisture in the caps
- vacuum leaks
- if there is any oil in the power steering pump reservoir, this is probably why the steering pump is stuck. It's probably dead because the oil leaked out. This dirt on the AC compressor is exactly this.

Other than that I see that this engine needs a lot of maintenance and probably $1000 in parts alone and if you're not comfortable working on it yourself I suggest you to bring it to someone that has proper knowledge with this engine.
 
brv problem no one in my place knows how to work on this m119. so i got to work it by myself. i will change the caps and rotors first. sparks plungs too. the good thing is my father found pair of fresh sparks plung from his room that has been sitting since 2013. so no im spending 1000$ but 700$ :blink: the wiring harness is brand new1698934126240.png
 
One more thing in regards to the caps and rotors. First of all I suggest you ro remove them to see condition of them. Here are only three screws holding them in and you don't need to disconnect the wires from them to take a look inside. If they are bad you need to also look for the leaking camshaft seal behind the insulator cap.

If the seal was leaking replace the seals, caps, rotors and insulators. Bosch is your only choice right now I think.

Oil on the injection is hard for me to guess. You need to clean around it and run the engine for a while to see where it's coming from.
 
ok im done reading and im not rebuilding the pump ill replace it or should i try? the caps and rotors dont look like a big job to do. any suggests?
im going start showing all the restortion on my youtube channel so u guys can point where i did wrong thank you
