New to me 220e Coupe questions

[brens-e200]

hi all

having given my new ( to me ) 1992 220E :bannana::bannana::bannana::bannana::bannana:the once over i have a few questions.

1. I went checking to see if the car would have the dreaded wiring loom issue but it turns out that its a normal spark plug config , so am I correct in saying that its an M111 engine ?

2. the is a vacumm pipe that is disconnected from the manifold and appears to be going down to the gear box ( see attached pic under red arrow) , where should this be connected to ?

3. The spark plug leads look like they have been insitu for a LONG time so are there any precautions I should take before/during replacement .

4 the seat-belt extenders itermittently work and I have read about a seat switch that initiates the extension. Does anyone know its location and how it can be checked.

5. the sunroof is raised in one corner ( drivers side rear) is it a big job to re-align it and if so whats the procedure


thanks in advance

Looks lovely, my first merc was one of those. It´s a M111 and although apparently they can have wiring loom issues these aren´t anywhere near as common as on the 6 cylinder models. Both my M111 W124s didn´t have any problems with the loom and they were on 180k when i got rid of them.

Great engine, solid, 40mpg possible on a run if careful and quick enough!
