I have finally purchased my first mb.
I love my car and I love the shopforum. Every post has helped me gain more knowledge and for that I thank each of you.

Here's my question:
I own a 93 190e 2.3. The outside temp display is the only item on the car that does not operate correctly. I have read all posts on the temp display and sensor, but I have not seen the following problem.
Every once in a while at startup the display works fine - but only for a few seconds - then its gone. This morning the display came alive. After remaing on for about a minute - it was gone. The temperature displayed each time is right on the money.

This was the longest period of time that the display was on. It has only come on about six times in the last two months. I did change the fuse, but no help.
Any thoughts?
