new owner of old 190E

Gents

I recently acquired a 1993 2L manual 190 with about 170K km on the odo.Generally in a very good condition. I want to use it as a general run-about and taking the longer business trips to nearby towns (for trips to my more rural surroundings i use my 290G)

Any advice on what to look out for or tips etc will be appreciated

Regards

Freek

A great little errand car! Fuel tank can get rusty and clog up lines if left to sit. Rust can also get into rockers.

that pretty much covers all that goes wrong with the 190E,... mine is still rock sold after almost 18 years, 2 broken rims and new real axle.
