W201s were not effected by the wiring issues. My 93 190E has 240k on it now and no wiring problems.

M103, 3.0L.

Originally it came with a 2.6L, but the head gasket went at ~210K and the transmission was leaking badly. So rather than pull the whole thing out, redo the head and reseal the trans I opted to pull the whole thing, put a 3.0L m103 in and reseal the trans.
