I just thought i'd post about a little project I now have on the go. The car was generously given to me by Bren who owns Wunderpartz.Mercedes, Diesel Leak Off items in wunderpartz store on eBay!
He bought it from a fellow member on mercedes-190.co.uk, for the Cosworth interior and other bits...
Hi Everyone,
I have agreed to visit a friend in a few weeks time, to help get his 1992 190E 1.8 presentable for sale. He should really have sold it years ago, but it was his retirement death car* so he has a strong attachment.
It has sat in his back yard for the past two or three years...
Hi everybody,
I'm having some trouble removing the ignition lock barrel on my 190E. The current one is on the way out - the key has to be jiggled around to get the lock to turn, and I've read that this can quickly lead to the lock getting jammed or the key stuck. Therefore I've bought a new...
Hi everyone,
The oil pressure on my 190e 2.6 is concerning me a little. At hot idle the pressure on the gauge is reading a bit under 0.5bar. When the accelerator is pressed, it quickly goes up to around 2, and at 60mph+ it reads just over 2.5. The engine has about 150k under its belt, emits no...
I am reading on wiki that the cosworth cyl. head is basically dropped in on top of the existing mercedes w102 block. In this case, can you replace a damaged c mercedes 2.5-16 block with parts from the basic 190 block?
also. can you easily swap a more powerful uk head onto an american version...
For sale is my 190e cosworth manual. I have recently restored this car to its former glory. Including a full repaint, complete underbody seal using dinitrol and re-furbing the wheels. I have also renewed 2 tyres, carried out a full filter service with new distributer cap, rotor arm, spark...
Orite guys, been after another Merc since i sold my C320, always fancied a 190e Cosworth but always sh*t out at the last minute worrying about maintenance cost etc if something went wrong.
Spotted this on ebay
Mercedes 190E 1989 'G' | eBay
Obviously thats the best of both worlds, got...
Hi gang,
After trying to source a few tricky 16v M102.983 parts I ended up taking a job lot on to get some of the stuff I needed.
As a result, I have plenty of 2.3-16 Cosworth engine parts and many other spares available.
So - whatever you need, ask away and I'll see if I can help. I...
Hi guys, been a member on the mercedes-190 forum since owning the car and never posted the thread on here so i thought i'd show you my pride and joy. A few of you may have seen photos from my brothers W203 C320 thread.
It's a 1993 190e LE 1.8 with just 3 owners and only 86k on the clock, and...
If I use the key in any of the door locks, everything works OK - all doors and boot lid lock/unlock.
If I use the key in the boot lid, only the boot is unlocked/locked.
Seems to be a recent occurrence, but I have some vague feeling that it is possible to do this deliberately, but I have no idea...
Hi all
I have been reading up on the Bowden cable adjustment and I decided to have a look at the one on my 1990 190 (2.0 ) and noticed that there was a long length of cable going from the front of the adjuster ( could nearly be measured with a ruler ) to the ball.
I adjusted it so that...
The other morning my 190e started jolting when I tried to accelerate in a traffic jam. Pulled into a bus stop, restarted and no problem for the rest of the day. It also happened at 45mph a few weeks ago.
The engine didn't actually cut off either time.
I'm thinking fuel pump relay?
Really...
