Compresion and milleage?
I have a 1985 190e 2.3 and I just measured compresion for each of 4 cilinders.
Engine "cold" 145psi each.
Engine at work temperature 155psi each.
I noted no difference at all between cilinders.
According to the manufacturer specs, normal readings are between 145 - 174psi and minumun acceptable (¿to rebuild engine?) 123psi.
With this data on mind, how much milleage you think this car has? It had several owners and I do not trust at all with the milleage indicated in dash.
Thanks in advance,
Ignacio G.
P.S. Engine isn't a smoker and is drives quite smooth and good.
