I am in the process of rebuilding the top end of my 86 190D. Before starting the work I averaged 37 mpg. It has the old style vac pump and I am saving to replace it - considering going electric - once I get that, I can button her back together complete.
Rebuilt head (valve guides, seals) timing chain (only had 3* stretch after 247K!) chain tensioner, rebuilt injectors, heater motor, combination switch, rebuilt trans (warranty), new alt, new rear pinion seal, new brakes, new radiator, new coolant pump (was fine - replacing anyhow) new belt tensioner assembly, replaced cruise actuator. Actually all pretty much minor considering what I paid for it.
They are good riding, efficient cars. The 2.5 NA makes 'em pretty peppy compared to the other NA's. If the engine has been taken care of I would pick up another in a heart beat - they seem to be pretty scarce these days - the good ones anyhow.
