Take the air cleaner assembly off and you'll find the cold start valve in the middle of the inlet manifold, fairly close to the head.
I've just bought a 1989 2.0l 190e myself and have found the cold start valve to be unplugged. Something in the circuit is faulty causing it to be permanently on if it's connected. Now i have the real fun of trying to even find the relay for it.
I have a manual on CD but it's of very limited use to me since it only covers USA models. Winter is aproaching now and i'd better fix it before i have fun trying to start it on the of the mornings when we nearly get a frost.
