What's wrong with my engine?

    • What's wrong with my engine?

      Hello! My name is Tom and I am from Melbourne, Australia.

      I drive a Mercedes 190E 2.6 and since a few days it won't turn on right. There ist some crappy noise, when I start it.

      It sounds like it wants to start but doesnt get enough fuel.

      What could be wrong?
    • hi

      for the first, nice w201 you´re owning ;)


      for your prolem, there could be much reasons,


      in the past this problems have been often come by defect fuel injektors, the six injectors are mostly defect after 100 000 till 120 000 miles,


      other reasons could be a old fuel filter, old ignition coil, sparkplugs, and much more,

      to really help you usefull we need to have more informations, about new parts, and old parts, driven miles, and so on..


      hope you can read and understand my bad english, and the words i had to search in a dictonary

      Hey Tom.

      Welcome to w201.com.

      To find a solution for your Problem can be tricky…
      It could be a sliped down vacuum sensing hose or drippy spray-roots.
      How many Miles/Km got your Mercedes?
      Dos the Engine run without problems after the starting phase?
      If the engine idle running – move the “Economy-gauge” ?

      Starts the engine better, if you start it a second time after the problematic start?

    • OK! It was just a slipped of hose under the air filter box.

      My 6Zyl. has already 203000 Miles an runs like on the first day!

      I Love this car. The Holden was such a crappy piece of shit, you won't believe it.

      Thanks for the tips and a Nice Wednesday!
