How many miles to expect on the original 2.6L engine 1993
My 190e is turning 150k miles. I've not had engines last this long and wonder if I can expect much more or if I'm on thin ice.
I add 10k gentle miles/year mostly city. Car has never had the recommended dealer 70k etc services but gets regular oil/filter changes and uses premium fuel. Bought at 80k miles, has had new alternator, spark plugs, air/fuel filter, window switches and brakes. My philosophy 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' - runs great but I'm a worrier.
Previous 1989 190e got totaled in rear-end accident at 130k miles, wife insisted on replacement, and this one just keeps on purring.
