New Car
Hey guys, im new to this site. Just swapped a VR4 powered cordia for a 1987 190e. Really straight body and interior. Engine is a little rough. I dont get my license back for 4 months so i have a bit of time to fix it up. Just a few questions, if anyone could answer them for me that would be great.
1. How expensive are these cars to service?
2. My Car doesnt start well when its cold. Takes ages to get it going and keeps starting then dying and idling really low until it gets a bit of heat. What could this be?
3. this car is very gutless, are they all like this?
4. I think the front shocks are rooted, how much is a new set and where can i get some from?
5. Does anyone have a rear R/H Tail light and the two front chrome wheel arch covers i could buy of them?
6. And finally what sort of problems do the 190e's have and are they generally reliable?
Thanx guys
Nathan

Try taking these questions to the W201 forum, or indeed do a search.
1) Do not have to be, but beware as some people may try and rip you
3) Depends on the engine, if its a 190E 4cyl, then yes.
6) Yes they are generally reliable - do a search on the W201 forum to find common issues.
Regards,
Tim.
