    Zitat von Flaschenoeffner: „Hi George, yes, the fan should work. Check if it is working by wiring it directly to 12V, If not renew it, if yes the temperature sensor may be faulty. There is a dedicated one for the A/C I guess, but I currently don‘t remember where, perhaps anyone else can help. Good luck! Regards, Alex “ Can anyone help on the location of the A/C temperature sensor?

    Hello guys, Once again I need your precious help. A few days ago I went on a trip with my W201 1.8E. My car is factory equipped with A/C. The day was very hot so for the whole trip (~170km) the A/C was on. For the last ~20km I was stuck in a traffic jam and the car was moving very slowly, so I was closely monitoring the coolant temperature gauge. To my surprise, the gauge (which is always stuck at ~85C) moved up to the circled white mark of the attached photo (but not further), so I turned the A…

  • Zitat von thc04: „I think he meant the plugs - maybe he's missing the right pliers... “ That's exactly what I meant - and yes, I was missing the right pliers! I've put some dielectric grease on the top of the spark plugs to prevent this issue in the future. Regards to all!

  • Unfortunately there were no instructions on the box. In any case, i installed them this morning - those pipes were a nightmare to remove… Thanks again for your help

  • Zitat von Midnightstar: „25NM 0.8mm “ Thank you very much Sir

  • Hello everyone, I recently came across a NOS set of the discontinued Bosch H7DCO spark plugs and would like to replace the old NGK spark plugs. As I don't have a repair manual, can you please help me by telling me the correct gap for the spark plugs and also the correct torque settings? Thank you in advance for your time and sorry if my German is bad - this is a google translator. George

    Zitat von Steely49: „ - Congratulations on this extraordinary deal. Rarely seen such a well preserved car after 31 years. I thought I got a great bargain with my W201 (30 years, 52,000, 1 owner) but this is more than a bargain. Take good care of it and take care of it “ Thanks for your comments @Steely49. Your baby Benz is also absolutely stunning

    Zitat von BabyBenz_H: „Congratulation to this beautyful car, take good care on it! Green isn't my colour but the combo green and beige looks awesome. My colors blue/blue appears boring against it. And thanks for the info that "Gullideckel" is an international known German original... “ Thanks for your kind words @BabyBenz_H I still prefer the blue/blue combo though

    Zitat von Robenz: „Verrrrry nice car! Don´t worry about missing features (electric windows, central locking, etc.). A car is a car! To drive! Not to open windows electrical or manual. And this car seems to be very unique. Love it just as it is. You won´t get all you think in your dreams: nearly new car (17.000km) with 5 gears, bigger engine and fully equiped, maybe. Be glad to get one that´s very special. Just do some alloys on it. If you like. Btw.: Seems ... there is big amount of silicon spra…

  • Thanks again for the input Alexander. My experience so far was with BMWs and I'm very anxious with a car that I know very little about, but I'll try to troubleshoot the problem in the coming weekend and I'll let you know. Best regards, George

  • Zitat von gazzel!: „imho cold blows at the middle only if AC stays off, like on W124 “ That's exactly the problem. When the AC is off the air from the central vent is not cold (fresh from outside) but lukewarm

  • Zitat von Flaschenoeffner: „Maybe there is a problem with the circulating air, could be the switch (left from the blower switch) or the vacuum system. If the valve for fresh air is closed, it is possible to get lukewarm air. Good luck, your car looks stunning! Keep it like it is! Greets, Alexander “ This is an very clever idea Alexander, but unfortunately the red led on the circulating switch is not on. This valve that you mentioned is the one in the picture below? Thanks a lot for your comments…

    Hello to all W201 enthusiasts! My name is George, and I live in Greece. After many years of owning an almost new BMW E30 (1988, 64K kilometers), I finally saw the light(!) and decided to shift to a Mercedes W201. After almost a year of searching, last winter I finally found an immaculate green 190e 1.8 with only 17K kilometers. The 1st owner was an old gentleman who bought it back in 1990 in Finland, brought it to Greece in 1991, and then decided that he didn't need a car(!), So, he parked it in…

  • Good morning Hannes and thanks for replying. The car is equipped with the standard European AC system (see photo). Also, besides this "problem" the system works as it should. w201.com/index.php?attachment/24086/

  • Yes, the car is equipped with air conditioning .

  • Good evening everyone from Greece! First of all, I apologize in advance for my German, which comes from Google Translate, and for my question - unfortunately I don't know German at all to be able to use the search and look through older posts. So to our point: I have a 190E 1.8 that I bought in the winter with only 20,000 original km that runs perfectly. I know their central vents are supposed to bring cold air into the car and they worked fine until last winter. But something seems amiss this y…
