- Mercedes 230CE
Hello,
I wonder if anyone can help me.
I have a 1989 230 CE that started to misfire after a couple of years. the mechanic I use, said that the engine was dying and needed replacing. I bought a 1987 230 mercecedes with full service history and replaced the engine. the car was absolutely fine and run sweet, but once again a year on, the problems have started again.
I am now told that the reason for this is bacause these engines should run on 4 star leaded petrol and not unleaded and that I should convert the engine to run on unleaded to avoid this problem.
has anyone experienced this and if so how and where can I convert the engine to take unleaded.
anyone got any ideas. is this true or have I just been unlucky with this car.
Thank you
