I have the same issue on my 190E. I thought it was the timing chain, but after further investigation and a new tensioner installed I have found that it is actually my water pump pulley. Either the pulley is loose on mine or the bearings are starting to fail. I can move my pulley a few Milimeters! Check the water pump and all pulleys for slight wobble.
