Folks,

Just obtained a W201 Mercedes or known as 190E, witn the M102 2.0 Fuel Injection Engine under the hood with 4 Speed Auto box...

Offcoz, being more than  25 years old car, do  have some home work need to iron it out, any particular workshop specialized in Old Merc?

Also what is the common problem of this car? if any sifus out there know do also let me know..

Preferable around KL, PJ area if possible..

         

Well.. most of the mechanical part has been complete rebuilt, just worry about the electrical wiring since its old car...

Had tendency to overheat due to the clutch fan can not accommodate the modern days traffic jam in KL, but easily resolved by adding 2 big MOFO electric fan in front to push the air through ...

now the sunroof showing sign of leaking due to unnatural rainfall climate changes weather...

Some of the parts you need to diligently look from chop shop like those driveshaft and axle.. (which better change than rebuild)..  but majority of the parts still available either from Germany, EU or Taiwan..

almost 15k ..

Lucky the body quality is good and less rust.. else if I have to do the bodyworks.. will reached 20k RM mark just for the restoration..

Yes, you should. Then you'll realise what "over engineered" means. I wish the driver's side wing mirror were bigger, as there is a lot of blind spot.

However, be prepared to suffer a bit, as the car is old and you should expect the maladies of old age.

Expect the power of 1.5NA with FC of 2.5TC engine if you opt for the M102 2L petrol engine. And the 4-speeder auto defaults to 2nd gear when moving from stationary unless you manipulate the gear lever (D>P>L>D, iirc) or you floor the accelerator pedal (literally flooring it).

The 1st prototype even only had 1 side mirror.. the driver side 

Sorry for a necro thread awakening...
