Hi, I see you are online, and have an interest in cheaper parts/ repair instead of dealer parts.
I purchased a 1990 190E yesterday. It is a beautiful car. My first 'Baby Benz'. I literally met the 95 year old lady and she showed me her church and her market she drove it to. It ran great until I filled it up with 91 octane fuel, and noticed after filling that the fuel had 10 ethanol added. The car ran worse after filling. Have I messed up the motor?
do you recommend an additive or a tune up? also, it shifts hard at times. is that normal?
thanks,
Kevin
