Mercedes-Benz: 190e questions

you're right - you have a burned out bulb. when the lights are on on my '92
190e, the PRND32 is lit up. don't forget that the 190e takes off in 2nd,
not 1st gear - that is, unless you kick down pretty hard!

and you're right about the long road trips too - the 190e is a great
cruiser. although not so much for rear passengers, due to relative lack of
legroom.

Welcome! I hope the car continues to please.

The only gadget I missed going from my 1986 W124 230E to the 190 was the
thermostat on the heater, which wasn't there on the 190, but you may have it
on your version.

YES, indeed I do! Love that temperature gauge. However, when I look
at the repair bills the previous lady driver had .... my mind boggles. With
the 300e I had basically no, other than wear parts, repairs and the car's got
220K on it. The 190e has about 15k and counting repairs done to it. good
grief. I note though the lady took it in to the dealer for 'everything' and
lucky me, its been converted to r134 (or whatever the #'s are). Still, I
need to look into the rather 'clunky' shifting. there must be wear related
parts with the transmission. Any ideas about replacing the light illuminating
the shifter??

- regards

Unfortunately not. I take my car in for 'everything' to a local
independent, including blown bulbs. I don't recollect that one, though.

My car is soon to go for its 72 000 mile service (at about 70k as it hasn't
had a major one for years) and I might still do that at a Merc dealership,
probably for the last time, given the car's age and value.

" don't forget that the 190e takes off in 2nd, 
I thought the 2.3L 4 cylinder takes off in 1st to make up for its lower
torque. The 2.6L 6 cylinder takes off in 2nd. No?
