Tinker,
With the 16V air flow housing it is next to impossible to do any thing with the potentiometer UNLESS you remove the complete housing. After doing that 5-6 times at 2+ hours each, you can tend to get weary & just give up.
I did it on my 1986 190E 2.5 16V just 2 weekends ago in 2 tries, about 3.5 hrs.
MB # 000-074-23-14 is $755!!! so time can be your friend.
