Thanks for taking the time to post this. I've got a 92 400E that runs perfectly, but your experience may come in handy for me in the future. From what I've seen in your post and another it would seem the 119 has an appetite for dist caps and rotors, not something I've seen before, but I've more experience with German cars from another town.
