Hey All
After a conversation with a friend im thinking I might get one of these , and would like any advise from owners .
Id be looking at getting an earlier 2.3 , circa 1986 reasons are because it will qualify as a classic in less than 3 years .
Was there a timing chain issue with...
The Mercedes-Benz 190E (codename W201) is one of the most important models in the history of the brand with the star, as it opened up a huge segment for the company - the premium compact sedan category. Italian automobile designer Bruno Sacco, who served as the head of styling at the company...
This is the earlier version of the Haynes manual with a green cover (the later one has a red cover). Which means it's:
* petrol only
* 190/190E only
* 2.0l only
* 1983-1987 only
From memory, I think this one is the better of the two - IF you have a 2.0 petrol because there's more detail...
I have a w201 ORIS roof rack bars and cross bars to support two bikes. Was planning on fitting it to my w210 but it doesn't with the rails I have.
Nice and solid, has 190 w201 on it, comes with one key.

I know its the accepted norm really but it is rather annoying as the car is quite simply not a Cosworth Car. OK so they did design and build the Head but that was about all, might as well call it a Mercedes Bosch , same principle. In the same token you may as well say that the Astra GTE/GSI 16v...
Quick question for those who have or have had a sorted 190 Cosworth (either 2.3 or 2.5). I love my 190E 2.0 and I adore my new Alpina B10. The former is probably not a long term keeper and having experienced the joy of driving a revvy close ratio manual Alpina with superb suspension I am keen...
At least I think its the diff - a resonance seems to develop between 50 and 70 mph (it quietens off at 80, on a private road!)
noise seems to come from the rear, there doesnt seem to be any play in the wheels.
I first noticed it a couple of months ago, I think its a bit noisier now, and I...
hi all,
well I'am back again. I have been investigating the reason for why my engine that once its heats up appears to the touch/smell to be cooking itself. The engine block gets REALLY hot ( you can burn yourself touching it { dont ask how I know } ) as does the pipe from the water...
Been having troubles with my relay but to get proper checked/repaired I need a spare to keep car going
its the oblong type that says kickdown 4cyl on it and goes behind the battery
car is 1989 but think its a 1986 engine 2.0l
if anyone has a spare one v.cheap I'd appreciate it.
I've never seen a 190e with the AMG kit so thought this may be of use to someone even though the fron bumper appears to be trashed. I bet it looked great before it was left to decay.

I have been rolling around in a 1989 190e for the last few months, I bought it to keep winter miles of my morgan. I have been hugely impressed by the merc, and it now sports a full 12 month MOT, thanks to some ARB bushes
My original plan was to sell it in the spring, but for one reason or...
