Well not exactly new, at 66yo and nursing a broken left leg for the third time in 11 years I feel old LOL. I prefer older models, currently owning my second Merc, a 1985 190E. Literally owned by an elderly lady who stopped driving due to age, the car had only covered 102,000km in 22 years. In 11 years I put up 144,000klm.

 

Hello and welcome to the forum! Post some photos of the 190 for us to see. I'm also attaching a link to our site's DIY tech articles on the 190 platform. These should be helpful if you're doing your own maintenance and repairs. Please let us know if you have any questions or if we can assist with any future part needs.

Questions 1--------should oil level be checked on a hot or cold engine. I keep getting difference answers.
Question 2--------The difference between min and max on the dipstick---some say 1000cc others say 1500cc---which is which?

 

1. I've always heard to check on cold.

2. I believe it is 1 liter (1000cc).

 

Thanks
