As posted I just purchased this 1991 190E 2.6 Automatic . Has 76,300 orig miles on it. Believe 2 owners . Last one owned for 10 years. I am having a couple of issues with the way it drives and any input is appreciated.

1) I did just change and partial flush of power steering fluid because of this, added new psf, and mann filter. The steering is not responsive best way I can describe it. The old fluid was black so my guess is it was not changed in a good 10 years but who knows...(other filters have been changed, air filter looks new) In a turn the front wheels do not come back on their own all the way. Maybe 3/4 way only. The car does need a new set of tires but cant see that effecting this issue this much. It does not handle like a car that was built to rival a BMW..

Any comments or questions are appreciated....

2) The engine sounds nice and smooth but at highway speeds I can hear the rear end drive a little louder than I think it should be. Not sure how to describe this better but I can hear the wheels turning sort of loudly ...It is not so bad but I think it's louder than it should be...

Thanks,


Austin.... ( I will be stripping driveway paint peel soon as association approves us)
