84' 190D Repair, scrap, or part out?
190 D with 147K on the clock, 38 mpg over two years of ownership with 10k of ownership driving. Easy drive to 85 on the highway but is (of course) sluggish at the starting line. Handles nice on the highway but very loose at lower speeds. Originally from FL but now in NC. Runs strong, no rust but the interior does show it's age.
Have kept up regular maintenace, oil, fuel and air filters. Good tires, no abnormal wear. Am thinking about rebuilding; is it worth the $ ? A break down of what I "think" needs repaired: Brakes: Replaced the back brakes and drums but needs new front brakes: Disc Pads: $42 Rotors: $28 ea While I'm in there might as well do the wheel bearings, $46 ea (this is a must do) Front end: Strut assmbly: $112 ea - am guessing this is needed due to the mount cracking Bellows: $8 ea - gone on this vehicle Stop: $15 ea - gone on this vehicle Mount: $43 ea - severe cracking Drive train: (Just because they are cheap) Center Bearing: $19 Flex Disk: $51 What else am I missing in the rebuild/decision? |

You drive your 190D to 85mph on the highway? Which engine do you have 2.2L or 2.5L?
Here are a few things that I have replaced in the past two years. Some of them you have already done: -New brake pads and rotors (all four) -New driveshaft with support bearing (You might as well do the whole thing instead of just the bearing) -New hydraulic master and slave cylinder for the clutch -New front right wheel bearing (mis-diagnosis of the failed support bearing) -Various exhaust parts -Light bulbs -New KYB shocks and struts all around -New Tie rods -New shock absorber for the engine belts -Schedule B maintenance -New battery You might want to check the ball joints as well. Just wanted to give you a few ideas as to what might come about.
