eBay 190D

I wonder how long it's been driven like this:

Also, the speedometer has obviously been changed at some point, notice how orange the needle is.

also notice the "economy" gauge under the oil pressure gauge. There is no such gauge on the 201 D's.

Stay away, its a POS.

I smell a bad fish, bet it's been put together from a bunch of cars , that dash with the eco meter is probably out of a gas 190 . Maybe the vin won't come up as it's a Euro vin number.If you go to CARFAX you can type in your vin for free and it will show you year make and model of your car but of course you have to pay for history.I typed in my Euro cars number and it rejected it........my son is looking for a 190 either D or G but not this one........

The text in the ebay add mentions that fact that the instruments do not work. Most likely a wiring problem maybe related to putting a gas instrument cluster in a Diesel car.

Seems like a big project or a good parts car.

That car scares me. So if it has a new water pump and head, then why is the guy showing a picture of the temp. in the red?
