Please if anyone can assist. I have a 1992 2.5D 190, with 1 owner FSH, great car bought in Jan 2009 for £375 and then passed MOT in Aug with no work needed. Superb vehicle. Now done approx 320K miles, but clocks changed a few times, noted in history from Mercedes, so could be 350K miles if I could work it all out. Over the last few moths, a noise has got worse. When you rev in neutral (manual) you can hear the noise form the area of the air filter/power steering reservoir. Not on idle only on Rev and changing gear. Kwik Fit say it is not exhaust as it is on the other side.
Noise is very like a blown exhaust noise, in a multi storey car park, sounds like a Subaru, or truck !!!!!
As an aside have started to experiment on LIDL rapeseed oil at 93 p a litre. Have taken it form about 50/50 to now 80 percent rapeseed, runs great, smells like a popcorn machine gone wrong. Noise has been there since before I used this, so not related, but just in case anyone wanted info on a live experiment on SVO.
Regards Dug dug@coutts.org.uk think there are vids of car at you tube under lossiemouth den or letheron wheel
Were these cars amongst the best ever made ?? I have a had a few 190, mainly 190e, and a 2 litre D, never seem to need much at MOT, and still drive like newer cars, even with this mileage.
